Prayers, News, and Christmas Party!

Friends:

Good evening, all! I hope you've enjoyed your weekend. First off, let's say a big thank you to the Goolsby family for bringing our snacks this morning. I think Sean had something to do with this! Next week, Vince and Mary are in charge. Thanks for taking care of us, Vince and Mary!

Let's go ahead and get to our prayers and praises before other news.

PRAYERS AND PRAISES

Steve May has been out of town this weekend. Please pray for his safe travel. Steve also has a few interviews lined up this week. Pray that everything will go well and that God will guide Steve to the right kind of position.

We need to continue our prayers for Bernie's sister, Margie. She should have her baby any day!

Brian VanZee is headed out of town this week for a trip to South Dakota. Please pray for his safe travel and for Jill, Raelynn, and Breeley while Brian is out of town. Be sure to call us, Jill, if you need anything!

Vince has asked us to pray for Mary and Malia. They are also headed to South Dakota (what seems to be a popular destination these days!) to visit Mary's family. Pray for a safe, enjoyable trip for Mary and Malia. Malia will get to see snow for the first time!

Also on the Vince front, Vince's parents are coming to visit later this week. Pray for their safe travel and for a good visit while in town.

Finally, Vince would like for us to pray for a friend of his from work named Dennis. Dennis's appendix ruptured last Tuesday. He is still incapacitated in the hospital. Please pray for everyone who is helping Dennis get back to full health.

Ben Sanchez has asked us to continue our prayers for their friend Jessica. She is currently living with Ben and Nicki. Jessica has four kids and currently no place to live. Please pray that Jessica will find the kind of home that she needs (by the way, we're working on a Christmas idea that will give us a way to help Jessica and her kids; more on this later).

One of Jeff Fadal's friends, Brittany, had emergency surgery this past week. Please pray for a quick and complete recovery for Brittany.

Jennifer May has parent-teacher conferences all day tomorrow. Pray that everything will go well at her school.

I would like for everyone to continue to pray for two families that are struggling with cancer: the Allen family and the Moore family. You can follow their stories here:

NEW BOOK NEXT WEEK

We've had good luck with the Bible studies series, so I think we'll start another one. This one is on "Excellence". I think you'll enjoy it. In case you want to buy it, click here.

The first lesson within the Excellence study is called "Pleading Inadequacy". For those of you who want to read ahead, take a look at Jeremiah 1:4-16.

DESSERT CHRISTMAS PARTY ON SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6TH, AT 6:00 P.M.!

Last but not least, us Nulls will be hosting a Dessert Christmas Party at 6:00 p.m. on December 6th at our home. I'll send directions when the date gets a bit closer. We have a Christmas party every year. Some years we have dinner and some we don't. For this year, we've decided to make it a party in which we have dinner beforehand on our own and then come over to our house for desserts and beverages. (With the exception of my world-famous little smokies. I'll have enough for everyone!). I hope that all of you can join us! Please put the date on your calendars. We'll work on the details later. Kids, of course, are more than welcome! We'll have ours!

---------

I think that takes care of everything for this Sunday. Have a great week, everyone. We'll look forward to seeing you next Sunday morning!

God bless,

Wes and Dana
