Weekly Update - 4/1 - 10:07pm

Next Sunday is Easter.  Don't forget to invite someone to church with you.  What a wonderful opportunity to ask a co-worker, neighbor or a relative!

I can't imagine being in the Ukraine just yesterday and in Paris, Texas this morning!  Thank you Richard & Denise Baggett for coming and talking to us about the "Million Dollar Sunday for Eastern European Missions" that is coming up on April 29th.  The pictures of those precious little children with their new bibles just melted my heart! 
So....be prepared!  Sunday, April 29th, and bring extra to donate for the special offering for bibles!!

• Paul McClain had surgery this past Thursday on his bicep and he was already at church this morning.
• Allen Jumper was at church this morning for the first time in quite a while!  So good to see him!  But, we need to remember Miss Florice.  She is not doing well at all.
• Danielle Weatherford is in a hospital in Dallas in serious condition!
• We said a sad goodbye to our sweet Phyllis Giguere today.  She's moving to Sulphur Springs. 
• Ethan Hall (grandson of Paul Gene & Anita Roden) asked for prayers for family members, Pam & Jessie Denton.
