LOCAL NEWS & PRAYER & PRAYER REQUESTS

Mrs. Britt, a neighbor up the street, came by and visited for about an hour yesterday. She gave us some history of the church as she told us that her mother and dad were instrumental in getting the church started back in the late 40's. Her mother and dad were Sanders. She informed us that they were members of the church when it first started. She had told me earlier on the phone that she was asking each of her brothers and sisters to donate to the new church project. We enjoyed the visit.

I had several calls yesterday asking how I am doing. Sister Jennie Sanders (no relation to the above Sanders) called and asked how we were doing. She told us that her tithes is ready and to come by when we could. She does not get to attend much and when we visit she gives us her tithes to turn in. She is a faithful Christian, church member and prayer warrior.

Sister Mildred Stacy came by and brought an offering. She is not a member but seems like one. She has been recovering from surgery on her eye and hand. She always expresses her love and care to us.

Brother James Moore called and ask how I am doing. He talked to Karen and reminded her to pray for Sister Rita and Travis since they have been sick. It seems that some type of bacteria or virus is going around here that affects the respiratory and digestive system. Several of our people are reporting the same symptoms.

I called Sister Ruth King since she was out again and she reported that she and Rita are doing some better but still have some of the symptoms.

Sister Donna Crossno called yesterday to ask how Karen and I are doing. She informed us that Alton and Delilah are still coughing profusely and having the same symptoms as others.

As pastor I feel the weight of these that are sick. I am praying and ask that the Lord heal through the mighty name of Jesus. He knows our need best and we can trust him.

Please remember these in prayer and other non-published requests. God sees and knows each one.
