August was the month for a field trip! Twenty-two Young at Hearts ventured off in the bus driven by Brandon Allen. We ended up at Circle J Steakhouse in Blue Ridge, GA. We were happy to welcome first timers James and Margaret Bolick, Michael and Jayne Hammond, Marlene Downs and her friend Mary Ann. We are delighted that Bonnie Lloyd has agreed to fill the vacancy left on our committee by Janet Everett. She will bring lots of artistic touches to our meetings.
Next month ~ Thursday, Sept. 18 ~ Denise Cross will make her annual appearance with all her Medicare expertise. A supper of fried chicken will begin at 5:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall. Bring some yummy dishes to go along!
One of the sweet things we can participate in together ~ no matter where we may be physically ~ is the fellowship of prayer. There are many who need our continuing prayers, including Mark and Phoebe Jackson, Judy Fitzpatrick, Jim and Jeanette Wilson, Gene and Ronney Craig, Fred West, Terry Lunsford, and Jayne Hammond.
Others continuing to need a touch from our Great Physician include Mack and Jeannie Huscusson, especially since Mack has recently needed assistance from hospice. Also, remember Justin Hensley, Robin Gibson, Pat Sealy, Wanda Beck, Pat Reed, Linda Graham, Bill Mintz, Jackie Higdon, Nancy Huffines, Ruth Cochran, Lee Ellen Rickett, and Ruth Griffing. Remember Jane Birchfield's husband, Lynn, Charlotte Clutton, Louise Phillips and her son, Larry, as her caregiver, Johnnie Brock, Dolly Rice, Darrell Dailey, Tricia Dailey's sister, Michelle, Ronney Craig, Burke West, Kenneth and Priscilla Cope, Shelby O'Neal, Cricket Gray, and Marilyn Raxter. Continue to pray for Jim and Pat Lancaster, as well as their daughter and granddaughter, Teresa and Ray Hyde, Reba Gibson, Kathy Nichols, Barb Jones, and Tim Tyler. If you know of anyone else to be added to our prayer list (or removed from it), please give Ronney Craig a call at 321-5512.
Don't forget to regularly remember Pastor Calvin and his family, our student pastor Warren Carlile, deacons and their families, Jennifer Farr and musicians, teachers and leaders in the various Sunday and Wednesday evening classes, and each one who has a unique part in making Andrews First Baptist Church a lighthouse for Jesus. Pray for the safety of our students and staff as they begin a new school year, also those heading off to college, some for the first time. And always remember our military keeping us safe, as well as our first responders. Pray for our country and President Trump!Happy Fall Beginnings!
