A Brief Rest

This morning our Bible Study attendance was greater than the last three weeks. While I'm not a pessimist, I didn't think we would have most of our members present. However, the morning service attendance was significant. We had a special time of dedication for our teachers and ministry team members.

We completed our Christmas in August Special Offering. We are going to send gift cards to 4 missionary couples around the world.

The funeral service for one of our lifelong members was held this afternoon. The music was beautiful. Mrs. Huff was a dedicated Christian. Her funeral, while sad, was easy to preach. Simply by the dedicated life she lived, she had already "preached" her funeral.

At 4:00 PM, we will have a Deacon Ordination Council. During the Evening Service, we will have the Ordination.

Still keeping an eye on Hurricane Gustav. Mike Smith our Minister of Music works for Singing River Electric. So, he was called in to work. We need to pray for all the folks who are going to start some long hours tonight.
