TODAY’S PRAYER FOCUS

More rain fell. More people/areas received the rain. I don’t think there was as much wind damage yesterday, but that is only my personal observation from home yesterday afternoon. Thank God for the rain He chose to send.

MEDICAL APPOINTMENT

Bro. Darryll and “Miss” Laurie saw a doctor yesterday. Be thankful for Bro. Darryl getting an appointment so quickly. I’ll let him share what he learned.

MISSIONS – OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

A Sunday School class contributed money to help with our needs for this year or next year. Their support and gift is greatly appreciated.
Four ladies helped accomplish some tasks yesterday morning. I appreciate them giving of their time and talents.
I’m looking ahead to packing 200 boxes for girls one week and 200 boxes for boys the following week. The work that is being done now will help make those two days run smoothly.
