with Gayle Cox
Sorry to have missed everyone last week. I pray that everyone had a great Thanksgiving and you were able to spend time with family and friends and build some great memories. We had 20 people at our house, and it was a great event. So much to be thankful for. Hectic times are with us that prepare and serve meals to our families, shop and wrap presents for Christmas, but never lose site of the reason behind Thanksgiving and Christmas. This is a time to reflect and be thankful for so much and to prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. May God’s Blessings be with each of you throughout this holiday season.

Please be in prayer for all elected local and federal officials as decisions are being made, law enforcement, first responders, healthcare workers, teachers and administrators, and with all the upside down happenings in our world around us, pray daily with all that is going on in our world. There is much spiritual warfare with society accepting things that go against who God is and what HIS laws are that we are to follow. Every day of life has its challenges, but if we look to God for the right path, it can be a good one. Please pray for those suffering from the flu, Elecia Ellis, Lisa Bishop, Bro. Iran Smith, Kathy Emerson, Jeanette Walker, Paul Schilling, Jennifer Paton, Nancy Crouse, Martha Cooper, Jake Richardson, Ann Morrison, Faye Crouse, Ed Morris and others that are sick or healing. We especially want to remember the families of Debra “Deb” Finley, Milburn Rowland. Doug Thompson, Jeff Thomas, Mary Elizabeth “Liz” Kinchen, Mary Nettleton, Jo Etta Bain, Laura Johnson Thompson, Linda Holder, Corine Terry, Ineta “Noot” Maness Robison and other families that have recently lost loved ones.
