Correction: David was mistaken about what he heard. Let’s forgive him. He usually gets things straight.
Two prayer requests for short term mission trips
Bro. Joey just sent a message asking me to remind you of the dedication service of the steeple in honor in Mrs. Kathryn Sanders and the improvements made in the sanctuary. After that, we will have lunch. The church is providing meat and drinks. You are asked to provide side dishes.
“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think,
according to the power that works in us,
to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations,
forever and ever.”
~Ephesians 3:20-21~
Mrs. Linda Graves fell and broke her hip. Pray for her as she heals following surgery.
Melissa Johnson thanks all of your for the prayers, calls, and cards following her surgery.
The VBS family night was very good. Thanks to all involved! We’ll do it again about this time next year! In the meantime, pray for those who now have more knowledge about God and/or a new relationship with the Lord.
Have a great day preparing for the Lord’s Day!

~John 3:36a, NKJV~
Ora Lee Wilson asks for prayer for Shantell Billiot and her husband. They were in hopes to adopt some foster children this week, but the judge gave a parent six months to become a real parent. Shantell and her husband were really looking forward to having the children permanently. Pray for their broken hearts. Pray the final outcome of this situation is what is best for the children.
Mr. “Cete” Dillon is still not 100% well. More tests were done yesterday. Pray for him to feel 100% soon.
Mrs. Mary Y. Miller has four more weeks of keeping off her foot. Pray her foot is completely healed at that time.
David Allen was released from North Oaks last night. Pray he can get to feeling much better soon.
Mrs. Oma Zachary learned she has recovered from heart surgery enough that she can return to her home in Amite.
Mr. Donald Spring continues to improve at rehab in Kentwood. Pray he will soon be able to go home.
Marsha Bankston got a port for dialysis this week. Pray the kidney problem will get better so she can continue the chemo. Pray for Larry as he stand by Marsha’s side.
I have discovered that my Wednesday morning post is not here. I had posted the VBS schedules for various churches. I’ll try to repost that this afternoon.
Pray for FBC, Kentwood as we have our last day of VBS today and family night tonight at 7:00. This will be followed by a fellowship with homemade cookies and brownies. Come to support and encourage the children.
I think and hope many of you may be interested in this Baptist Press article.

Oops! I forgot to post the Mrs. Sylvia (Jim) Watson’s mother, Mrs. Vernis Linsley, away and was buried this week in New Roads. Please pray for “Miss” Sylvia and other members of her family.
Mrs. Angie Redmond (from Mary Criswell)
Had a nice visit with Angie. Betty Catherine (Hatcher)was with her and said they did not do surgery on Angie(as scheduled Wednesday and again on Thursday)! I really don’t know why unless it has to do with her age(90)! Betty was waiting to talk to the Dr. Prayers still needed!
From my sister, Julie
Aunt Eva (Smith) is back in the hospital (in Alabama), with atelectasis (partial or complete collapse of the lung) in addition to double pneumonia. She is running a temp, but it went down from 103 last night to a little over 100 this morning.
“God is working in you,
giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.”
~Philippians 2:13 NLT~
Mrs. Angie Redmond is in room 3119A at North Oaks. Keep her in your prayers.
Karen Miller’s mom is in pain again. Pray for her as she considers another block in her back.
Pray for Mrs. Pauline Strickland and her family. They have had many ups and downs in her condition.
Don’t forget to pray for people who have continuing needs.
