Prayer Requests - Week of 4/27/2008

VBS - prayer walk on May 18th

Travis & Shelby - need to find housing and a job in Waco

Sharon's mother passed away

Senior recitals for Jordan & Heather this weekend

April's co-worker, Patra, has been having a difficult family time: her mother was in an accident, is recovering, and has had some complications; a sister fell and fractured a hip.

The Eason family's house burned down and they lost everything. If you would like to contribute toward a gift card for the family, please let April know. This is a great opportunity to practically demonstrate the love of Christ.

Praise!! Kandace went to the ER this weekend with chest pain, but it turned out to be minor.

Good Times at Shady Grove

The threat of rain prevented us from overnight camping, but we still went out and had a good time. We cooked hot dogs over a campfire, rode four-wheelers, and even did a little hog hunting. Good times for all.

I think I got a picture of everyone, but I forgot to have someone take a picture with me in it. Next time someone help remind me. Please check out my pictures by CLICKING HERE.

Gregg's pictures of the hog hunting can be seen HERE: http://gallery.mac.com/gregg.nichols .
