The churchwide potluck on Sunday, May 4, was well attended and enjoyed by all. Good food and fellowship abounded!
There has been a slight change in the order of events on our calendar. Our June 19 meeting will now be to celebrate birthdays for everyone. This will be the first evening gathering for the summer, to allow those seniors who are still working to join in our activities. The fun will begin at 5:30 p.m. in our church fellowship hall. We'll have picnic fare of hot dogs and hamburgers; you bring a salad, vegetable, or dessert to go along with them. We'll even have birthday cake and maybe some ice cream!
We have many folks who need prayer, and are grateful for the opportunity to lift their names to the Throne of Grace. These include Mack and Jeannie Huscusson, Justin Hensley, Rob and Jan Everett, Robin Gibson, Pat Sealy, Wanda Beck, Pat Reed, Linda Graham, Bill Mintz, and Jackie Higdon; Nancy Huffines, Ruth Cochran, Lee Ellen Rickett, Jim and Jeanette Wilson, Imagean Adams, and Ruth Griffing. Pray also for 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. Pray for Jim and Pat Lancaster, as well as their daughter and granddaughter; Walter Raxter, 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, who are now on summer vacation. Drive cautiously!! And always remember our military keeping us safe, as well as our first responders.
Happy June!
