Here Comes the Cold Weather and Our Class News!

Friends:

Good evening, all! Rumor has it that the cold weather will be blowing in late tonight. Hope you’ve enjoyed our last warm day for a while!

Thanks to Brian Nicholson! He was superdad this morning. Brian brought both the Nicholson girls to church and class, along with donuts! Thanks, Brian. Next week, us Nulls got it covered.

Let’s get right to our news, prayers, and praises.

Praise God for the new McCrary baby! Rylie Paige McCrary was born on Thursday. She was 8 lbs 5 oz. I don’t know her length and will post photos as soon as I get some. As far as I know, Ashlee and Rylie are doing great. I believe they were supposed to go home today at Noon. Mary Erickson has kindly agreed to arrange meals for the McCrarys. Look for an email from Mary soon. In the mean time, please continue to pray for the McCrary family!

Also on the praise front, thank God for the great decision by the Burneys this morning! They have decided to join our church officially. We are delighted to have you guys, Brad and Jenessa! Welcome aboard!

Vince E. has asked that we pray for his friends Cole and Iva. They will be headed back to court this Tuesday for another important decision. Please ask that God will be with them during this difficult day. Pray, also, for good decisions by the judge.

Barry Sullivan would like for us to pray for his Aunt, Debbie Armstrong. Debbie was diagnosed with breast cancer this past week. She will be having surgery this upcoming week. Debbie also has diabetes. Please ask God to be with Debbie and her family during this difficult time.

Teresa Sullivan brought news this morning that her father’s surgery went well last week. He still, however, has a long road to recovery. Please pray that he will get stronger each day.

Also with the B & T Sullivans, Ben brought good news this morning that it looks as though he will get the new job near Houston that he has been wanting. This change will, however, mean that he will have to be away from Teresa and the kids for 14 days straight when he works. He also will be working on rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. Please pray for Ben’s safety and for Teresa and the kids while Ben starts this new job. Teresa also would like for us to pray for her school district, Rosebud-Lott, as they search for a new superintendent.

Benjamin May has come down with strep throat. Please pray that Ben will get well and back to school soon. Strep throat is going around, so beware!

Mary Erickson would like for us to pray for her grandmother. She had colon cancer surgery last week. The good news is that the surgery went well. Please pray that her recovery will go smoothly and quickly.

Praise God for a great turnout at the Brian McDonough event! We heard this morning that the event raised approximately $55,000 for the McDonough family. Great news! I believe their goal was $25,000, so they are pleased with the result. Thanks to all of you who participated.

Please continue to pray for Landry Reed and his family. My understanding is that they are still having a hard time finding someone to help Landry.

Mary Erickson has asked that we continue to pray for little Zachary, the baby who was born with renal failure. It looks as though he will live, but he will need dialysis. Please ask God to continue to be with Zachary’s family and everyone else who is helping him.

Last but not least, please pray for our Youth Pastor Search. Pray that we will find exactly the person we need.

----------

I believe that covers everything for this week, folks. Next week in class, we will finish up with the Don Piper video. I believe that everyone is enjoying hearing him talk about his book.

After 90 Minutes in Heaven, we will move forward with a book called The Perfect Leader: Practicing the Leadership Traits of God by Kenneth Boa. I think all of you will enjoy the book.

Have a great week, everyone!

God bless,

Wes and Dana
