* Missed being with you Sunday. I know you enjoyed Bro. Frank Whitaker's preaching and had a great day celebrating the mission trips to Mobile and Nicaragua. I look forward to hearing the message and report on CD.
* Tonight is our Business meeting where we will consider the special motion I spoke about and introduced June 26. Both the Deacons and Stewardship Team will be joining to make this recommendation tonight. Also, we dive into one of the greatest passages in all the Bible as we start (but won't come close to finishing) Philippians 2: 5-11.
* Pray for our men as we go to the Men's Conference in Nashville Friday and Saturday. Pray for Scott, David, Chad, Isaac, Jamie, Tom, Nelson, Paul, Joey, Jesse, Alex, Nate, Eli, Wyatt, Nick, Kyle, Jason, Joseph, Nathan, Garret, David and Keith.
* Then Bro. Paul Long and Antioch Baptist Church is having a Men's Revival next week. Our men are going Monday for the 7:00 service and will meet at the church at 5 to go and eat prior to the service. I am preaching on Wednesday night of the revival. Pray for me.
* Was so excited to get to share (via print) the exciting Sunday School news this past Sunday. We are beginning two new adult classes August 7!! Jeremy Taylor will be teaching a Co-ed class targeting those born 1985-90. We are adding a second Co-ed class targeting 1980-85 and Gary Blevins will be teaching this new class as Monty Price continues to teach the current class.
* August 7 will be Promotion day in Sunday School, as well as all children's classes (except Daphne Garrett's) moving into their new space in the basement of the Student Center and all youth classes moving into their new space in the Student Center.
* Continue to prepare for the Sunday School Leadership Conference set for August 6 beginning at 8:30 until noon. Click here for more information. We are expecting other churches to attend as the news of this conference has caught fire in DeKalb Baptist Association. This is for all teachers plus care group leaders, secretaries and any member of a class who cares about reaching people and making disciples through Sunday School. Sunday School is the greatest ministry of our church!!
* The Student Center renovations are coming along well. Can't wait for the remodeled and expanded facilities.
* Be praying for Student Camp July 29-31 as Bro. Craig and the leaders make final preparations.
* We are feeding the Nehemiah and P52 teams on Tuesday, July 26. Items needed for the meal where in the bulletin this past Sunday. Contact Melinda White or Petrova Tillery for more detail.
* Our new children's ministry kicks off this fall. Continue to pray for Whitney and the team God is assembling for leadership. There was a sign up in the bulletin this past Sunday (and it will be in the bulletin this coming Sunday, too) where you can indicate area(s) where you would like to serve on Sundays and Wednesdays this fall. I'm so excited about this new ministry God has led Whitney and our church to do.
Be looking out for August 14!!! A Reveal Party for the new Children's Ministry is coming!!!
* Worship Choir rehearsal begins back this Sunday at 4:30. Warning: Bro. Keith has been working on Christmas music.
* Financial Peace University is going to be taught again this fall beginning August 21. Contact Gary Blevins for more information.
* I want to give a big "Praise the Lord" for this church who has staffed all of our coaches and cheerleading spots for Upward Football. Thank you for your service and commitment. Two seasons in a row now with football and basketball. Thanks for all the dedication of our Football Commissioner, Drew Hogsed, and the Upward Team: Gary Blevins, Donald Coots, Greg Wigley and Whitney Wigley. Praying for a great season of sharing the Gospel and reaching boys, girls and parents for Christ.
* Thanks for your prayers for Roxanne. She has done better than expected and we are grateful. She has restrictions on her until July 29, so she will not be at church until afterwards. Thanks to all who have texted, called, prayed and brought food. We are so blessed by your love and concerns.
