Prayer Request Update - 11/22 - 9:09pm

Thank you Patrick for sharing "The Bread of Life" with us today, and making us realize that we are to be thankful for what we have.  Thanksgiving is only 4 days away now, and as Americans, we have so much to be thankful for.  Take a moment and just remember all your blessings....no matter how big or small!

Speaking of thankfullness.....THANK YOU to all of those who helped in ANY way with the Thanksgiving dinner last Wednesday night!  Over 250 people were served! 

MAKING IT THROUGH THE HOLIDAYS:  Patrick and Mike Bishop will have a grief support group/class on Wednesday evenings in December.  (2nd-9th-16th)  This group will meet in the Elder's Conference Room.  Please sign up at the Welcome Center if you are interested in attending this class.
This will include praying together and discussing ways to cope with grief, especially during the holidays.
If you, or someone you know, is grieving a loss, you are encouraged to attend this special time.

PRAISE:  Michael Clifford was baptized on Saturday.  He's the son of Eric and Melanie.

PRAISE:  Vera Wilson was able to be back with us again today after heart surgery and is still recovering.  She went forward this morning and asked that we continue to pray for her and she is so thankful that "God heard the prayers of the church".

PRAISE:  Pearl Holmes came forward this morning asking to be identified with LACOC.  (Granny Pearl is a sweetheart of a lady.)  She asked that we "pray that I may be of more service".

PRAISE:  Terry & Carol Jones, from Meridian, Mississippi, also asked to be identified with LACOC.

Our sympathy goes to Sandra Carrell and her family, upon the loss of her brother, Chuck Yarbrough of Waco this week.
