There will be no Friday Morning Bible Study today. 

 

Honor the LORD with your wealth,

with the first-fruits of all your crops.

~Proverbs 3:9~

 

David Bryant had some surgery at Ochsner and has now been transferred closer to his parents, David and Brenda.  He is better, but please keep praying.

Justin Lambert has also shown improvement.  Many prayers are still needed for him.

David‘s surgery yesterday went well, as far as we know.  Two surgeries two days apart has been hard.  With the Lord’s strength and promises and a wonderful Christian doctor David is “hanging in there” despite a difficult night.  We have an appointment with the surgeon today.  He will remove the bandage from the eye and evaluate the surgery results.  Prayer will be appreciated.

Operation Christmas Child – June collection items have been added to the wreaths.  Purchased items can be taken to my Sunday School room next to the choir room.  I get so excited when I purchase more items.  I also get excited when I see that others are becoming involved in helping with this worthy cause.  If you need help in any way, please ask me.

Be alert to sudden changes in the weather for the next few days.  Most of us don’t have to be concerned with flooding, but the lightning and hard rains can cause problems too.

Donnie Eudy, my brother-in-law, had surgery to remove a place on his eyelid and then reconstructive surgery.  All went well.  Thanks for praying for him.

Beverly Rohbacher and Daniel were involved in a collision Wednesday at Tangipahoa.  Beverly had some injuries, but will be okay.

David’s  next eye surgery has been changed from the 1st to the 14th.  That may work our better for him giving him more time to improve from the first surgery.  He says he “does everything the hard way” when it comes to medical issues.
