prayer and stuff

Dear Folks – hope you enjoyed the baptism service last night – I know I did!  It’s great to see God at work in our lives.

 

Please pray for Shirley Russ and Shirley Garmany.  Shirley Russ fell last Friday and hurt her wrist and got a pretty good bump on her head.  She went to urgent care when it happened and is waiting for the Dr.’s report this week.

 

Also, pray for Shirley Garmany (Tammy Stewart’s mom).  She is having knee surgery today and will be in recovery for awhile.  I’ll let you know how things go when I find out!

 

Have a blessed day!

P.S.  Don’t forget about the special GriefShare meeting tonight at 6:30pm at church.  If you know someone who may need extra support at this time, this program is very helpful!

 

Also – be praying about the special worship/seminar this coming Sunday morning.  It will be a very encouraging day!

prayer

Folks - Just a quick note to let you know that Harold Jeffrey went back into the hospital for a follow-up procedure.  His leg (where they took the extra veins from for his heart surgery) wasn’t healing up right, and they had to drain the cyst that was forming.  When he got back from the hospital, Elsie was not doing good and went into a diabetic reaction.  He called the ambulance and they took her to Bixby.  They assume everything will be okay, but please keep them in your prayers!  A lot is going on in their lives.  If you can help them out with meals, visits, rides, please let them know!

 

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!  Remember that we are having a baptism service in the evening (at 6:00pm).  Cake/Ice Cream to follow!

This Sunday...and beyond!

Hey all!  Just a reminder that this Sunday we will be hearing from Andy Bishop (our missionary to Italy) in the morning and will be having a baptism service (6:00pm) in the evening.  We have three people who are getting baptized – two adults and a child.  As usual, we will have a fellowship (with cake and ice cream) afterwards to celebrate!

 

All our off-site ministries (high school/college age) will meet at church.  Looking forward to seeing you this Sunday!

P.S.  Also – remember that next Sunday morning (Nov 30th), we will be having a special Worship Concert and Seminar with Jon Schoonmaker.  He will lead us in worship, help us understand the goal and vision of worship, and teach us methods for using worship effectively in our church.  We will also have a luncheon/workshop with Jon following church for those who are interested in taking our worship to the next level. 

 

P.S.S.  Another thing – On Wednesday (day before Thanksgiving), we will be having our annual Family Thanksgiving Fun Night at 6:00pm.  We always have a great time together playing games, eating food and reflecting on our blessings.  Please come with (or without) your family!

 

P.S.S.S (can you do that?) – One final thing – Christmas is just around the corner – we will be suspending our Study of Revelation for the month and concentrate on the meaning of Christmas.  We’re going to be looking at the four “Solas” of our Faith – the things that make our Salvation unique – and how Christ is at the center of it all.  It’s an exciting study and one I know you’ll appreciate!  I enjoy the Christmas season and am looking forward to all the special things that take place.  Hope you do, too!
