It was a gloomy day on the outside, however, our congregation was glad to be in God’s house, ahead of the impending storm. Our prayer list continues to grow by leaps and bounds, some have been there for quite some time, new ones and so many bereaved families. Pray for each need.
Brother Dennis spoke on the world situation Sunday morning and what the Bible says about God’s chosen people.
We sang a belated happy birthday for Sandy Shumate, as well as a belated happy anniversary for Don and Evelyn Bryan. Glad to hear they are expecting their son home from the military in a short time.
