Good Monday morning….it is a bit cooler this morning but the high is expected to be 100 today. I hope your day is going well.
We had great attendance in the charge for football season. The service of remembrance of 911 I hope was helpful and reminded us all that we have a refuge in times of trouble and we are not alone.
Your response to the Dake/Haltom offering has been most remarkable and I know will be a blessing to both families. Please keep them both in your prayers.
We will have our Charge Conference Thursday at 5:30 PM at the Hosston Church. You are invited to attend this annual meeting of the Charge. Our D.S. Rev. Donald Avery will preside at this meeting.

READING FOR THE WEEK:
Exodus 16: 2-15; Psalm 105: 1-6, 37-45
Philippians 1:21-30; Matthew 20: 1-16

First Wedding
Little Mary was at her first wedding and gaped at the entire ceremony.
When it was over, she asked her mother, "Why did the lady change her mind?"
Her mother asked, "What do you mean?"
"Well, she went down the aisle with one man, and came back with another one."

I DO HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL

AND

BLESSED WEEK….
I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING EACH OF YOU IN WORSHIP SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
