Weekly Update - 8/22 - 1:30pm

Thank you Patrick for the message this morning about "Life In The Weeds".  Reminding us of the "Parable of the Wheat". 
It was good to see SO many there this morning!  Everyone is ready to get back on a "normal" schedule. 
All of the schools in Lamar County, except Paris I.S.D. starts school tomorrow.  Please keep our teachers & students in your prayers.  Also, please remember the school zones.  Those little ones will be excited about school starting, and it's our job to watch out for them.

And speaking of school starting, Latch Key starts tomorrow also!  And Latch Key needs a van driver for Monday or Tuesdays each week.

Continue to remember Dennis and Kay Malone as he is nearing the end of his earthly life.  Hospice is continuing daily.  There are volunteers from the H.A.L.O. group taking dinner over to their house each evening.  (Kimberly Daniels is in charge of this.)

There are so many of our church family that are grieving loss!  Remember to pray for these families daily.
  • Lillian Taylor, fell on Thursday.  She's banged up and bruised her nose and possibly has a sprained wrist and arm.
  • Roy & Lillian Welch, Diane McFadden & Mark Welch's Dad & Mom, are continuing to have health issues.
  • Tammy Huffman asked for prayers for her husband, Robert, as he has a very important job interview this Thursday (8/26) with K.C.  She also ask that we remember the family of Amanda Harper Knelson.  Mandy (32) was killed on Friday night after a car accident.  She leaves 2 small children. 
  • Diane McFadden's neighbor, Wesley Parker, is not doing well after heart surgery.
  • Dinah Border's mother-in-law, Johnnie Border, is also on hospice and is declining daily.
  • Ed White was cleared to have surgery on his leg this morning.  He was taken back to the ICU shortly there after.
  • Gary Barnes, husband of North Lamar teacher, Sherry Barnes, has blood clots in his lungs.
  • Ty VanMeter, friend of the Barnett's, is finally able to celebrate!  Ty had his pelvis broken and wasn't healing right.  Now he has been released to play low impact sports again!  Thank God for this!
  • Mike Grigsby's Mom, Linda Morgan, is recovering at home from pneumonia and needs some encouragement!
  • Cynthia Williams' friend, Beth Smith, is going through a divorce.
  • Mae Hemingway, one of our co-workers at First Federal, is grieving the loss of her son-in-law, Josef Hausler, who was killed on Friday in a four wheeler accident in Clarksville.
  • Louie Woodall asked for prayers for Marolyn.  She will have a heart cath soon.  He also asked for prayers for Rachel Sylvester.  She had a miscarriage this week. 
  • Please pray for the victims of the Pakistan flood.
Brent and Jill Nichols will finally be here September 4-19. They want to make sure they get to visit with everyone while they are here. Rachel Spencer has put a sign-up sheet at the Welcome Center for those that would like to have them for a meal at lunch or dinner. If the time is taken up, maybe 2-3 families could all meet together with them!

SIMPLE SUPPER: This week’s entree will be Mexican Stack-Ups. If you didn't get the chance to sign up on Sunday morning, you still have the chance to come and eat with us by calling the church office by noon on Tuesday. Still only $2.
