Prayer Request

I saw Marvin Duren at a restaurant the other evening. He said to put his father on the prayer list. His father has been needing to have back surgery, but has now come down with a problem with his bladder that will need surgical attention. This will also delay his back surgery. Please keep him in your prayers.

God Bless,

Philip

Praise Report!!!

I just got off the phone with my Uncle Mack. He is now home! It is hard to believe, but prayer does work. He will still have some tests to take, but he is at least home where he wants to be. Keep Mack in your prayers.

Keep praying! God listens.

James 5:16 (King James Version)
16Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Prayer Requests...

Keep my niece Kristin in your prayers. This week they were practicing softball in the gym. They use a metal pipe to work on hitting for some reason. Well, one of the girls that was swinging the pipe accidentally let go and hit my niece right between the eyes. She required stitches and broke her nose. She is having surgery next Monday to reset her nose. She will have to wear a cast for about a week.

Also, a co-worker of mine is about to lose his brother to cancer. Please keep the Glenn family in your prayers.

Thanks,

Philip

I hope everyone had a great Monday!



I wanted to remind everybody that we will be starting our "One Month to Live" home group this Sunday (Jan. 11) at Phillip and Kelley's house. I know that I speak for everyone when I say "thank you" for opening your home to our group. Here are a few things that might be good for you to know:

1. It will start at 6:00 p.m. @ the Darr's --1126 Forrest Parkway

2. Childcare will be provided at the church from 5:45-7:15--If you need childcare please let Gina know by calling 996-2166

3. If you need to purchase a book they are ten dollars and available to order at the church office---If you don't have yours yet don't let it discourage you from coming.

4. We decided that we will make it potluck each Sunday5. We will meet on the 11th, 18th, and 25th



Also, we decided Sunday to volunteer our Life Group to participate in 10 days of Blessings in celebration of Bro. Ronnie's 10 years of service at First Baptist Greenwood. I will call the church office and let see what dates are still available between Jan. 19-28th and get back in touch.



As I read through this blog--It is wonderful to see God at work in our class. We have already seen so many prayers answered. I want everyone to know how truly blessed my family is to be a part of such a wonderful group of people and a member of a church that is alive. I want to thank Jackie and Dena for hosting the New Year's get together and to Jessie and Michelle for all they do in organizing our monthly socials.



I also want to take a few minutes to publicly apologize to Jackie and Jeb for oversleeping and missing our morning workout last week. I'm sorry that I let you down and that you had to eat biscuits and gravy at Alice's.

Prayer Requests from Yesterday...

The following prayer requests were mentioned yesterday when we met...

• Troy Gaston will be going to Houston for his checkup on January 12th.
• Pray for Shelli Baldwin who has not been feeling well.
• Mike Francis has not been feeling well. I believe he has had sinus issues.
• Morgan is out of school today. She has throat and ear infections.
• Pray for Johnny McLellan . He has been having issues with his back.
• Keep my Uncle Mack in your prayers. He has been very frail. He also wants to go home, so he is going through that issue as well.

For those that were not in class this Sunday...you were missed.

Thanks,

Philip

Prayer Request

My cousin, Tony McKenzie, passed away today. Many of you will remember his sister, Robin White, who passed away in 2007. Tony had been very sick for quite some time and was even unable to attend Robin's funeral due to his illness. Tony and Robin are the only children of my mom's cousin T.J. McKenzie and her husband, Dennis, so this is an extremely difficult time for them. They are really great people, and T.J. , my mom, and my aunt are very close.

Also, T.J.'s sister, Patty, has been very sick. The family was told before Christmas that she will not live much longer. In fact, she was not supposed to make it through the holidays. Patty is a very special person and the last of T.J.'s immediate family besides her husband.

Please pray for our family and especially T.J. and Dennis.

Thank you all!!
Andria
