Have a great week!

Prayer Request from Shelli...

Shelli called tonight and has asked prayer for Jeb's grandpa, Marvin Baldwin. They think he is having mini-strokes, but he is not cooperating with family trying to take him to the doctor. He is also brother of Jo Lampman. Please keep this family in your prayers.

Prayer Request...

Please keep one of my fellow employees in your prayers. His name is Allen Glenn. Last night Allen had a heart attack. It is my understanding they are going to do a procedure on him today. Pray for Allen, and for wisdom to those administering his treatment.

God Bless!

Special time of prayer...

Below is a message from Brother Ronnie, thought I would post it in case someone didn't get it through e-mail.

God tells us in II Chronicles 7:14, "If my people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
God has placed this on my heart to call us as a church to pray. I am asking you to join me and our staff this Saturday evening from 7:00pm - 8:00pm in the Worship Center. This will be a time for you to pray for your family, pray for our church, our city, our nation, and our world. Our staff and I will be available for anyone who requests prayer...James 5:16 says, "The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective."
Come and pray together as a Life Group, or as a family, or just come and spend some time alone with God in prayer. Let's seek God together as we humble ourselves and pray.
Bro. Ronnie

Prayer Request

Please pray for a co-worker of mine. He has been diagnosed with some serious medical issues resulting from being in Iraq during Desert Storm and again for Iraqi Freedom. He has worked hard to get achieve the rank and get the job he has now and it is very difficult to deal with the possibility that he may be forced to retire because of the medical issues. To make matters worse, it appears that he and his wife are headed down the road to divorce. I have talked with him at length and he confessed to me that he is a Christian but that he is completely lost right now and feels like his world has been turned upside down. I'm positive that he can use some prayers right now.

Thanks,

Mike

Super Bowl Party and Prayer Requests

Hey Everybody!! Just wanted to remind everybody that Scott and Alison have been so kind to host a Super Bowl party for our Life Group. It looks like the game starts at about 5:25 so they said we could start arriving some time around five. They live at 785 Eastern Hills in Greenwood. Scott and Alison said that they would provide a sandwich tray so the rest of us can bring other good football game eats and drinks.

I also wanted to ask everybody to pray for the Outdoor Sportsman Banquet that is Saturday afternoon. I pray that many decisions to follow Christ are made.

One last thing--When I was at the basketball game tonight JT Williams had what appears to be a massive heart attack. They performed CPR for about 15-20 minutes and ended up doing a tracheotomy before he left in the ambulance. We later heard that he did have a pulse at the hospital---so just pray for him and the family. For you that might not know --JT is Brent Williams dad. Brent passed away suddenly last year while riding his bicycle. Their family has been through a lot so just lift them up in prayer. I look forward to seeing everybody either tomorrow at the banquet or at church on Sunday.
