Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,

because he has come and has redeemed his people.

~Luke 1:68 (NIV)~

  • Hillsdale Baptist Church – 6:30 P.M.

Please pray for Porgie Scarle of Fluker.  He is at a crossroads in his cancer treatment, which seems to not be helping for now.  He will be having an adjustment to his treatment this week.  Joanie asks for your prayers.

Glen Magee got sick while cooking at work Saturday night.  After one night and numerous medical tests, he was able to go home.  Please thank God for the beautiful season, good medical care, and others who stepped in to help at “Smokehouse“.

Jesse Dean’s sister, Mrs. Patsy Benefield, is doing better at North Oaks and was scheduled to go home.  Pray she continues to improve.
