The Lord gave me everything I had, and they were his to take away.

Blessed be the name of the Lord.’

In all of this Job did not sin or revile God.”

Mission Projects Day Coming Soon

3rd Saturday of June; 9 A.M. – Noon
Everyone is needed to help with missions projects. There will be jobs for everyone.
Admission – Items needed for missions (Lists will be available at church.)
Let’s have fun working together and doing mission work at the same time!
I’m available to answer questions.

The children in missions learn there are four ways we can help with missions: Pray, Give, Do, and Go. The Mission Projects Day is one way to “Do”! Don’t miss this opportunity.

~Galatians 1:4 The Message~

Josiah Huckaby – Update: So last Saturday they officially told us we are only waiting on private duty nursing to be set up for Josiah to come home. This is HUGE news…especially since at the end of March they told us it would most likely be 6 more moths before he would be ready. God definitely showed up & showed off. Only 1.5 months later & he’s ready!!! We aren’t sure how long it will take to get private duty nursing. There are only 3 companies in our area that offer pediatric & it can take a long time for them to have a spot available. They have sent referrals to all 3 companies & now we just wait. We can’t thank everyone enough for all the prayers. To God be the glory!!! Hopefully the next update will be with a potential discharge date.

Mrs. Ruby Dillon is in North Oaks, room 3407. She went there midday yesterday. We are waiting until a little later to call this morning. If you see us later, you can get an update. Pray for Mr. “Cete”, her faithful caregiver.
