Friends:
We need to add two prayers to our list:
Elizabeth Nemec has asked us to pray for her brother and sister-in-law, Jason and Laureen. They recently lost a baby. Please pray for healing and comfort for them. Pray, especially, for Laureen as she recovers from giving birth.
Shelley Buhner has asked us to pray for Landry Reed, the son of Robin and Casey Reed. Landry has had some bad reactions to medicines recently. He is doing better, but he still needs our prayers.
Thanks, everyone, for keeping these two families in your prayers. They are going through some difficult times, and they need our help.
God bless,
Wes and Dana

Class Update--May 27, 2007
Friends:
Good evening, all! I hope this message finds you doing well. First off, let’s thank the Jacques for bringing our donuts today. Thanks, Russ and Kayla! And they did it even though Jackson has been sick! Plus, it was pouring down rain. Way to go, folks. Next week, Brooke and Kris Tooley will be taking care of us. Thanks, Brooke and Kris!
On the announcement front, Joann Dominguez is looking for help to prepare for VBS. Thanks again for your leadership in this area, Joann! She handed out lots of assignments this morning. If you would like to help, please contact Joann. I think she will be bringing additional work to class next week. Thanks to all of you who are helping!
Also with announcements, Steve May informed us this morning that the babysitter who takes care of Zachary has a couple of openings. If anyone out there is looking for good day care, please contact Steve ASAP!
Let’s go ahead and get to our prayers and praises:
Jackson Jacque has been dealing with stomach pains lately. Please pray that Jackson will get back to full health very soon.
Lots of people from our class are traveling. Vince Erickson is in Oklahoma City. Jennifer May has been visiting her mom. I believe the Sullivans are still out of town. Salley Taylor will be leaving with her girls for an eleven day trip to Missouri. Please pray for safe travel for everyone who is on the road.
We need to pray for Mr. Nash Buhner. He will be baptized next week! Praise God for this great decision by the Buhners. Pray that everything will go smoothly next Sunday.
Shelley has asked us to continue to pray for Murray and Kim Evans. Murray’s mother is not doing well at all. Please pray for comfort and healing for everyone who is hurting during this difficult time.
Let’s pray for the family of Herb Reynolds during this time of grieving.
Joann Dominguez has asked us to pray for her family during some difficult weeks ahead. She also brought a praise that Gabriel will begin a part-time position with Mission Waco soon. Pray that God will be with Gabriel as he begins this important new position. We’re praying for you, Gabriel! Also on the Dominguez front, Joann brought a praise today that things are going better with her sister. Great news, Joann!
We need to pray that Chris Schmid will not float away! Ask God to help Chris to get his flooding under control, both around his house and in his backyard.
Salley Taylor brought a praise today that Haley has been having some good weeks. Let’s continue to pray for her.
Also on the Salley front, she recently received a promotion at work (yea, Salley!) and has taken on quite a few new responsibilities. Pray that God will be with Salley as she begins her new role.
----------------
I think that’s everything for today, everyone. Dana and I hope that all of you have a terrific Memorial Day tomorrow. We did not make it through all of our Wesley material this morning, so we will plan to look at that again next week, as well as some additional material. I will send out a message later in the week about what we will read for next Sunday.
We look forward to seeing all of you next Sunday morning!
God bless,
Wes and Dana

Readings for Sunday
Dear Friends:
If you have time, take a look at pp. 258-263 in Devotional Classics for this Sunday. This is a selection from John Wesley. It has to deal with the idea of “perfection,” which is central in Wesley’s thought. Also, I ran across a book this week that I think raises similar issues related to this ideal of “perfection,” but in a slightly different way. The book is entitled The Case Against Perfection: Ethics in the Age of Genetic Engineering. The author is Michael Sandel. I would like to connect the Wesley reading to this book by Sandel. I think the two will make for some interesting discussion. Here is a somewhat favorable review of the Sandel book. If you have time, read the review as well. I will bring copies to class.

See you Sunday!

We need to pray for Robbie Rogers. He is currently in Athens, Georgia, shooting pictures of the BU tennis team. Pray for a successful trip and safe travels.

Barry and Erica are still out of town on their respective trips. Pray for safe travel for them as well. We look forward to seeing you guys again soon, Barry and Erica!

The section in Devotional Classics we will read is from John Wesley, and you can find it on pages 258-263. I plan to say a bit more about it later in the week when I have time. I am currently at a conference on the campus of Mary-Hardin Baylor, and I need to get this message sent out before something goes wrong with the connection!
Have a great week, everyone. May God bless your work this week.

Mother’s Day Class Update—May 13, 2007
Dear Friends:
Good evening, everyone! Happy Mother’s Day! I hope that all of you have had a great day. I think we started the day off right this morning! Thanks again to Steve May for the great idea of having our friend Dale from Café Cappucino come to class and make breakfast for our ladies. I hope you enjoyed it, ladies! The pancakes were delicious, I must say. For you men who have not paid (and that includes me!), please contact Steve May at smay@hot.rr.com. Let’s make sure that we pay Steve back ASAP!
Next week, the Goolsbys are in charge of bringing our snacks. Thanks, Goolsbys!
We have a slew of prayers and praises this week, so let’s get started:
We were fortunate enough to have Bill Brooks with us this morning for a while (I think it had something to do with the pancakes), and Bill has asked us to pray for his son, Blake. Blake is currently at school at the Air Force Academy. Please pray for God’s strength and wisdom for Blake.
We also were delighted to have Wayne Williams with us this morning (again, I think this had something to do with the pancakes, but I’m not sure), and Wayne has asked us to pray for everyone who is participating and helping with the Peru Mission Trip. They leave in only a few weeks! Please pray that God will bless everyone who will be doing this very important work.
We need to pray for Brian Nicholson’s Aunt Cindy. She is currently in ICU in Austin. Pray, also, for Brian’s mom who is there with her. Pray, especially, for Cindy. She needs God’s help in leading her back to Christ.
Also on the Nicholson front, how about a praise for Councilman-elect Nicholson! That’s right, Brian Nicholson was elected to the Hewitt City Council yesterday. Way to go, Brian! Congratulations are definitely in order. Please pray that God will be with Brian as he begins his important tenure of service to the Hewitt community.
The Mays have asked us to pray for Mrs. Brummett’s mother (Mrs. Brummett is Benjamin’s teacher). Mrs. Brummett’s mom is currently in ICU. Please pray for healing.
Bernie Hookham brought a praise this morning that her brother, Eric, graduated this weekend from the University of Iowa. Way to go, Eric! Ask God to be with Eric as he begins his journey after school.
Franci Rogers has asked us to pray for one of her friends and co-workers, Kay Boatman. Kay’s husband, Jim, was in a bad car accident last week. He is currently in the hospital. Please pray for comfort for Kay and for healing for Jim.
We need to continue to pray for Dan McGee. Dan is one of the Rogers’ neighbors who has been sick for quite some time. Please ask God to be with Dan and to help him recover.
Also from Franci, she has asked us to pray for Jennifer Good and her husband, George Suhem. Jennifer was set to have her baby this afternoon. Please pray for the new little one and for Jennifer as she recovers from giving birth.
Let’s pray for all of the parents and school personnel who will be bringing the school year to a close during the next few weeks. Pray that everyone will have a good end to the school year.
The Mays brought a great praise this morning that Benjamin May has received commendations for all three of his TAKS tests. Way to go, Benjamin! Let’s thank God for this great work by Benjamin and ask God to continue to be with him during the years ahead.
Joann Dominguez has asked us to pray for her sister. Pray for healing for their relationship and for better days ahead.
Shelley Buhner has asked us to pray for their friends Murray (sp.?!) and Kim Evans. Murray’s mom has cervical cancer and is not doing well. Pray for recovery for her. Pray, also, for Murray. He lost his dad recently and now is dealing with the sickness of his mother. Pray that God will be with the entire family.
As Jennifer Fadal mentioned in her email earlier this week, her Aunt passed away this week. Pray that God will be with Jennifer and her family during this time of mourning. Please pray, especially, for comfort for Bobby Woodard, Jennifer’s uncle.
Kris Tooley has asked us to pray for a gentleman he knows named Chris. Pray that Chris and his girlfriend will get things straightened out very soon.
We need to pray for Barry and Erica, who are traveling during the next week or so. Barry is bear hunting in Canada, and Erica is off to some exotic island that I just can’t recall at this point. Pray for safe travel and a relaxing time for Barry and Erica (pray, also, that Barry will in fact do the hunting, rather than the bears hunting him)
Let’s continue to pray for Matt and Jenny LaSeur. Mark (their new little one) is not sleeping all that well. And, believe it or not, he is struggling with reflex (sound familiar, anyone?!). Please pray for strength for Matt and Jenny and for healing and good nights for Mark. We’ve been there, Matt and Jenny! Hang in there! We are praying for you!
Last but absolutely not least, let’s say a big praise for the Schneiders! As those of you who were in church this morning know, Emmie was baptized today. Way to go, Schneiders! You guys looked great up there. Praise God for this very important dedication! Ask God to be with Emmie and our church as we provide guidance for her and the Schneider family.
------------------------
I think that takes care of everything for this Sunday, everyone. Dana and I enjoyed seeing all of you today. Have a great week, and we look forward to seeing all of you next Sunday morning!
God bless,
Wes and Dana

Class Update--May 6, 2007
Dear Class Friends:
Good afternoon, everyone! Dana and I hope that all of you have had a great Sunday. Let’s be sure and thank Barry and Erica Sullivan for bringing our donuts this morning. We appreciate it, Sullivans! Next week, Mr. Rogers (sweater and all) and his lovely wife, Franci, are in charge of our snacks. Thanks for taking care of us, Mr. Rogers!
Speaking of next week, we have a special event planned for the ladies next Sunday morning. I plan to send a separate email about this matter later this evening. I hope all of you ladies can be with us next Sunday!
I want to thank Joann Dominguez again for agreeing to be a our class’s “point person” with regard to preparing for VBS. Please talk with Joann about how you can help. Thank you, Joann, for doing this very important work!
Now let’s get to our prayers and praises:
We need to pray for Reese Nicholson. She was home with a 103 degree fever this morning. She apparently has a virus. Please pray for her quick recovery and for her mother’s perseverance! Hang in there, Amy!
Also on the Nicholson front, Brooke turned 3 yesterday. Happy Birthday, Miss Brooke!
We also need to say a praise that Mr. Carter Rogers is feeling much better after a bit of sickness this week.
Vince E. has asked us to continue to pray for his friend, Larry. Larry has made some bad decisions with money recently. Please pray that God will intervene to help Larry. Pray, also, for everyone who is trying to help Larry to get his life headed in the right direction.
Steve May brought a praise and prayer this morning for his niece, Colby (sp.?). Colby will begin law school at Tulane next fall. Please pray that everything will begin smoothly for her.
Joann Dominguez has asked us to pray for her family as they prepare to attend a Mother-daughter banquet soon. Please pray that the banquet will serve as a way to bring these ladies together.
Joann also has asked us to continue to pray for her brother, Ricky.
Melody Libby brought us a few prayers this morning. Her daughter, Lorelei, has a ballet recital tomorrow. Please pray for Lorelei as she prepares for this big event! Melody’s mom, Rosemary, also will be driving home to Lubbock this week. Pray for her safe travel. Last but not least, Melody would like for us to pray for her and for all of the girls that she is working with through her job. Pray that God will be with Melody as she does the crucially important work of helping these girls to get on track.
Christina LeMay has asked us to pray for her son, Matthew Turrin. He will begin school at the University of Houston this summer. Please pray that things will start out smoothly for Matthew.
We also need to pray for the Creed family in Alabama. As I mentioned earlier this week, their daughter, Caitlin, died in a car wreck last weekend. Please pray for comfort for everyone who is mourning this terribly sad, tragic loss.
Franci R. would like for us to pray for one of her friends, Kelly. Kelly has been dealing with lots of faith questions lately and could use our prayers as she tries to get things straightened out.
Last but not least, please continue to pray for the Saxon family. They need our prayers for strength. For a reminder of what it’s like to face life with courage, click here:

Christina LeMay has asked us to pray for her son, Matthew Turrin. He will begin school at the University of Houston this summer. Please pray that things will start out smoothly for Matthew.
We also need to pray for the Creed family in Alabama. As I mentioned earlier this week, their daughter, Caitlin, died in a car wreck last weekend. Please pray for comfort for everyone who is mourning this terribly sad, tragic loss.
Franci R. would like for us to pray for one of her friends, Kelly. Kelly has been dealing with lots of faith questions lately and could use our prayers as she tries to get things straightened out.
Last but not least, please continue to pray for the Saxon family. They need our prayers for strength. For a reminder of what it’s like to face life with courage, click here:

I think that takes care of our prayers and praises for this Sunday, everyone. Dana and I enjoyed seeing and hearing from everyone this morning! We hope that all of you have a great week, and we look forward to seeing you next Sunday morning—on Mother’s Day!
God bless,
Wes and Dana

Reading for this Sunday
Friends:
Hello, everyone! How about a homework assignment? Just what all of you wanted! I have just now found time to send you the pages from Devotional Classics that I would like for us to discuss this Sunday. If you have time, please take a look at the selection from William Temple on pp. 223-229. The topic is “The Church’s Impact on Society”. Also take a look at Romans 13:1-10. This material builds nicely upon our discussion last week. I also think this selection is particularly good for our class because it deals with politics. No shortage of opinions there, I think! Also, at the request of Wayne Williams (and much to the dismay of Brian Nicholson), no Plato this week!
Dana and I look forward to seeing all of you on Sunday morning.
God bless,
Wes
