Thank you Patrick for our lesson this morning on "Living Life to the Fullest"!  What a great way to start the week!

Paul McClain, Jerry Raper & Jacob Jones made a beautiful new podium out of 2 old church pews.  How awesome is it that we have such talented men in our church?  Make sure you look at it closely...there is such incredible workmanship that has been put into this podium.

Joy Barnett went forward this morning asking "for prayers to maintain and keep our family together".  God Bless You Joy!

Our Sympathy To These Families:

• Please keep the Jack Family in your prayers as they mourn the passing of Gerald.  His services are tomorrow (Monday) morning at 11am at the church building.
• The Zant Family lost their Mother/Grandmother today.  June Zant, passed away this morning.  She was Zach's grandmother.
• Ed Bullard's 23 yr old nephew, Chas Bullard, was killed in a motorcycle accident this past week.

Prayer Requests From This Morning:  (I picked up the prayer requests from Patrick's class and can NOT find it...I probably put it back in the file...please forgive me and my "sometimers".)

• Those who were killed or injured at Ft. Hood on Thursday.
• Curtis & Kristi Garrett, as they are returning from Landon's graduation from Boot Camp at Ft. Benning, GA.  (If you are on facebook...there are 2 videos & pictures that Landon has posted.)

• Allen Jumper is home; did not have bypass surgery. Arteries were not blocked. He has an appointment for surgery (kidney related) Tuesday in Dallas.
• Have not heard from Vera Wilson this morning but she is still in ICU. She had a punctured lung and blood clot in the aeorta (don't know exact location).
