Friends:
Good afternoon, all! Well, Mr. Corbin is still sacked out in the bedroom taking a nap. I think he had a pretty good morning, but we’ll see how he’s doing when he wakes up. Dana says she missed seeing all of you this morning!
We have lots of news and other items this afternoon, so let’s get to it. First off, thanks to Matt and Beth Ramsdell! They brought us our snacks this morning. We appreciate it, guys! Next week, we will welcome back the VanZees. They will bring our snacks as well. We look forward to seeing you and the snacks next Sunday, Brian and Jill!
IMPORTANT BENEFIT EVENT
Greg Hudson asked that I announce an important benefit event that will be taking place soon for Brian McDonough. I think several of you know the McDonough family. About three years ago, Brian was diagnosed with MS. They need our support to help them remodel their home so that Brian came make his way around in his wheelchair. In addition to prayer, we need to support the McDonough family with our gifts.
The Benefit Event will take place on Saturday, October 20th, at 12:30 p.m. at the Speegleville Pavilion. There will be activities for the kids, lunch, and an auction. Tickets are $12. You may purchase tickets from Connie Fraley in Room 113 at the church. You also can call the church and ask to speak to Connie. For more information about the event itself, contact Jessica Armstrong at 662-1558 or 855-9268. Thank you for considering attending this important event. Let’s also pray for the McDonough family.
VEGGIE TALES MOVIE NIGHT
Bring your kids Friday night to the FLC! A showing of the new Veggie Tales movie will take place this Friday, October 12th, from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. We have had a great time at these movie nights in the past. Us Nulls should be there, so we hope to see you there!
CHRISTMAS PARTY UPDATE
In case you missed it, we are scheduled to have our annual Christian Living Christmas Party on Friday, December 14th, at the Family Life Center. Please put this date on your calendar! We will begin at 5:00 p.m. and will go until approximately 9:00 p.m. We will have a “bounce house” on store for the kids. We also have a good line on a Santa. Matt Ramsdell is looking into that piece of the puzzle for us. Thanks, Matt! We need a tall Santa this year.
Also on the party front, I think we will plan to have it catered. We don’t plan to spend a great deal of money here, so we will be shopping around for a good deal. Shelley Buhner has kindly agreed to look into catering for us. Shelley, what about Captain Billy Whizzbang’s? Several people in class this morning said they enjoyed Captain Billy’s fajitas. Do you think you can get us a good deal on some Fajitas?! If so, we’d appreciate it! I also look forward to hearing what you find out from LaFiesta. Dana and I look forward to spending some time with all of you at the Christmas Party!
PRAYERS AND PRAISES
Let’s get to our prayers and praises. We have quite a few today. We need to pray for safe travel for the VanZees. They are in Austin today. Pray that they will have a good weekend and will make their way home safely this evening.
Also with the VanZees, we need to pray for Brian’s Aunt Faith. She will be having surgery soon. Her husband also is confined to a wheelchair following a terrible motorcycle accident about 5 years ago. Please pray for successful surgery for Faith and for her entire family as she recovers.
The Buhners are traveling this weekend for Tatum’s softball. Please pray for their safe travel.
Stefanie Bunting asked that we pray for the Baker family, especially for the two little Baker girls. This is the family whose mother died about two years ago. The husband was just recently arrested for the murder. This is a very tragic and sad story. Please pray that God will be a stabilizing force in the lives of these two girls.
Teresa Sullivan has asked that we pray for her father. He will be going in for gastric by-pass surgery soon. Please pray that the surgery will be successful and that he will be in better health as a result. Pray that his recovery will go well also.
Trey Schneider is headed on a business trip to London and Paris (that’s right!). Can you believe this?! Let’s be sure and pray for safe travel for Trey. Pray, also, for Cathy and their two little girls while Trey is out of town. Trey, be sure to take a tour of Notre Dame. I think you’ll be impressed. I suggest that you stand there, look up at the ceiling, and imagine how much the people who did that work loved God.
Robbie has asked that we pray for one of his student’s, Melissa. Pray that she will get the help she needs.
Barry Sullivan would like for us to pray for his Mamaw (sp.?). She will be moving into an assisted living facility soon. Pray that the transition will go well and that she will enjoy making new friends.
The McCrarys are due in just about two weeks! Please pray for Ashlee and David during these final days of pregnancy. Pray for continued strength and help for Ashlee and the baby. We’re praying for you guys, McCrarys! Bush’s Chicken is on the way!
Franci Rogers will be visiting with some folks this week about a new job opportunity. Please ask God to be with Robbie and Franci as they make decisions about what’s best for Franci.
Jeff Hookham’s 40! Yep, that’s right. Let’s thank God for 40 great years for Jeff. We’ll see if he’s any better as a fisherman now that he’s cracked 40. Something tells me that he won’t be.
Brian Nicholson’s grandma is not doing well. Please ask that God will be with her as she tries to get better.
Also on the Brian front, Brian is out of town this weekend (see him for details about the destination!). Please pray for his safe return home this evening (Brian, as I was pushing Brooke in the swing last night, she said “I miss my Da-da”—Feel guilty, yet?!).
Thanks for praying for Mr. Corbin. It looks as though he has some sort of flu illness. We had a rather sleepless night here at the Null home last night. Please pray that he will have a good week.
-------------
I think that takes care of our prayers and praises for this weekend. Next week, we will begin our new book, 90 Minutes in Heaven. For those of you who asked me to order you a copy of the book, I ordered them last Monday. They should be in sometime this week. If it’s too late in the week for me to distribute them, I may do a separate lesson next week and wait until the following week to start the book. I’d like to give folks a chance to read it before we discuss it. By the way, the Tooleys are getting a video about the book for us to watch. Any sign of the video, Kris and Brooke? Please let me know.
I believe that covers everything for this Sunday. As you can see, we have lots going on. In the middle of all this, I am also putting together my legal team to fight my “Move Over” ticket. I should find out more tomorrow when I call Mr. Crow, the Town Marshall in Westlake. He’s the guy who can give me more details about my options. If you want to follow this story and/or donate to my legal defense, check our blog site tomorrow evening and I will give you an update!
Dana and I hope that all of you have a great week. We look forward to seeing you next Sunday morning!
God bless,
Wes and Dana
