Memorial Day Weekend News and Prayers!

Friends:

Good afternoon! I hope you're enjoying this holiday weekend.

Thanks to Ben and Nicki Sanchez! They brought our snacks this morning. We appreciate you guys very much, Ben and Nicki! Anybody interested in taking next Sunday? If so, let me know!


PRAYERS AND PRAISES

How about we start off today with a prayer for all of the military families out there. Let's praise God for their dedication to our country. Pray, also, for safety for those who are in harm's way.

We need to pray for the family of Alex Reed. Alex was a Junior at China Spring High School. He passed away on Friday in a car wreck on Highway 6. Please pray for everyone who is mourning this sad and tragic loss.

Ben and Nicki will be traveling to San Antonio this week. Please pray for their safe travel. Nicki also will be driving with Severus to Tennessee soon. Let's pray for a safe, enjoyable trip for Nicki and Severus as well.

Nicki has asked that we pray for Vicki Weatherbee. Vicki will be getting married soon. Pray for a good wedding service and a great start for Vicki and her new husband.

Christina G. would like for us to pray for her friend Duane and his wife. They recently suffered a miscarriage. Please pray for comfort and healing for this family. We also need to pray for Christina as she prepares to take the GRE in the next few weeks.

As usual, we need to keep up our prayers of safety for Ben Sullivan. He will now be headed with his rig to Louisiana. Pray that God will surround Ben with safety and good decision-making.

Vince would like for us to pray for Brian Collins. Brian recently lost his job and is now looking for a new job. He's also engaged to be married. Please pray for strength for Brian and his fiance during this time of uncertainty.

Mary E. reminded us this morning to keep praying for their friends Candy and Trace. Pray that God will be with them during difficult times.

With school winding to a close, let's pray for all of the teachers and students during these last few days. Pray that the close of the school year will go smoothly.

Last but not least, we need to keep praying for Shannon and Rod Smith. Shannon has made it over 37 weeks! This is very good news for the baby. Shannon, we are continuing to pray for you!

Also on the Smith front, Rod wants everyone to know how much he and Shannon appreciate the meals. Thanks to everyone who has volunteered to take a meal to them! In some small way, we have been able to help them during the last few weeks. If you would like to sign up, there are still some days open. Look back through the blog posts and you can find the directions. Hang in there, Shannon! You're almost there!

Well, I think that takes care of things for this Sunday. I hope that all of you enjoy the Memorial Holiday tomorrow. May all of us grill some hot dogs or something!

See you next Sunday.

God bless,

Wes
