Dear Class Friends:
Good afternoon, everyone! I hope this message finds all of you doing well. How about this spring weather! I like the weather this Sunday much better than last. First off, I want to thank everyone who was able to make it to our lunch at Fuddrucker’s today (FYI—Dickie’s had no electricity when we arrived!). I think we all had a great time! This is a good way for us to spend time together outside of class. Since we have so many new people, we need to find opportunities like this for us to get to know one another a bit better.
Let’s get right to our announcements:
Happy 5th birthday to us! That’s right, Christian Living turns five years old today. We began on April 14, 2001. Way to go, class! Praise God for a great 5 years!
Next, Steve and Jennifer May are signed up to bring our snacks next Sunday morning. Thanks for signing up, Mays!
Next Sunday, we will plan to finish the last part of “Facing the Giants”. Then, we will get back to Devotional Classics by Foster. In Devotional Classics, we will look at pp. 213-219, which is a selection from John Bunyan (no relation to Paul, but John is the famous author of Pilgrim’s Progress!). Take a look at this selection by next Sunday, if you have time. We will discuss it either next Sunday or the week after.
Now, let’s go ahead and get to our prayers and praises.
PRAYERS AND PRAISES
Elizabeth Nemec and their two little ones are in Minnesota this weekend. Pray for their safe travel.
Steve May has asked us to pray for Barbara, one of his co-workers. Barbara’s mother passed away this past week.
We need to pray for all of the students and school folks who will be dealing with the TAKS test this week. Pray that everything will go smoothly and with as little stress as possible.
Mary E. brought a praise this morning that Bronson, the little boy who was in the hospital, is doing much better now. He is now at home. Praise God for this great news! Please continue to pray that Bronson will get stronger each day.
Let’s continue to pray for the Raneys, especially Amy and the little one they are expecting (no need to pray for Bruce—ha!). Amy is doing just fine. Pray that things will continue to go well for her all the way up until Nov. 9th, the day when she is due.
Rumor has it that the LaSeurs are doing just fine. I believe they even made an out of town trip this weekend. Please continue to pray for the LaSeurs, and, especially, for young Mark.
Vince E. has asked us to pray for a couple that the Ericksons know. They have recently suffered a second miscarriage. They need our prayers during this difficult time. Please ask God to be with this couple as they grieve and look forward to better days soon.
Vince also has a praise regarding a trip that he and Ben Sullivan made recently. They had a good time last weekend on a camping trip. Praise God for a great weekend!
Chris S. has asked us to continue to pray for the Schroeders, who lost their daughter last week. Please pray for comfort and strength for everyone who is grieving this tragic loss.
Finally, Chris also has asked us to pray for his grandmother. She has been suffering from an infection that kept her in the hospital for the entire Easter weekend. Please pray that she will get better soon and will be able to return home.

I think that’s all for now, everyone. Thanks again for the great time at lunch today! Dana and I look forward to seeing all of you next Sunday morning.
God bless,
Wes and Dana
