Happy Birthday Today To:
Waylon Fowler
Continue in your daily prayers:
Brenda Spratt is having hip surgery today. She requests our prayers.


Brayden Goolsby’s lymphoma has returned. Doctors across the nation are forming a plan. He had surgery Monday the 17th for dialysis ports. He is in pain due to the anesthesia and need of dialysis. The dialysis also filters out the pain meds so he has to deal with it until they can give him more. Specific prayers for comfort so he can get some sleep. Also pray for his parents Charlie (Jenny) and Will Wilcox.


Please pray for Regina Mabry, wife of Ken Mabry. She has finished her first round of chemotherapy for cancer in the lungs and lymph nodes; two more rounds to go.


Please pray for Bill and Jean Thomas, uncle and aunt of Carrie Simpson. They are both very ill and in separate hospitals in Nashville.


Rachel Farris requests prayers for her mom, Diane Mabry, who has pneumonia. Cards can be sent to: 1361 Lakeview Rd., Livingston, 38570.


JC & Annita Young requests prayers for their daughter, Jade Hicks, who is receiving treatments at Vanderbilt. Prayers of strength and healing appreciated.

Thank You: I cannot even recall the number of people who have prayed for, prayed over, fed, and given us gifts surrounding the birth of Ezra. We are so thankful for your generosity and love for our family. This church truly has shown what it means to rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep- simultaneously. Thank you- from the Sims Family


Thank you to all who came to visitation for our son Craig Lynn, for the cards, calls, donations to Happy Haven and prayers that were lifted up to God on our behalf. We appreciate all of you and love each of you. Jim & Carol Lynn


Thank You: We want to thank our church family for the phone calls, visits, food and above all prayers for Renee’s health. Christian Love is the best medicine. John & Renee Mayher
