The Visitor » 2007 » May » 31

Thanks to a large number of visitors, we had a fairly good number for our Sunday morning worship last week. Many of our folks are either ill at home or out of town because of the long weekend. At any rate, we are thankful for a beautiful worship service based upon the topic of memorials.
And we hope you took time out to reflect upon the debt we owe the men and women of our country for their sacrifices so that we might continue to be a free nation. My wife and I drove out to the National Veterans Cemetery and enjoyed the beautiful vista of grave markers, abundance of our flag and the the park filled with people who came to pay individual respect to their loved ones, or as we did, just to spend some time reflecting on the meaning of memorials.
Let’s make a pledge, not only to always be present in the weekly observance of the Lord’s Supper, which is THE memorial, and our observance of it stimulate us to think of that time when Jesus promised to return for His own when His Father is ready for that time. Let us be ready for it as well.

David Nelson will be with us to preach on Sunday morning June 17 and I know he will bring us a good message as well as an informative report of the work in New Zealand.

We learned last week that Mack Lyon had a heart procedure and two stints were implanted in his arteries. Let’s keep him in our prayers for a full recovery so that he can resume his good work with In Search of the Lords’ Way.
On Sunday, June 10, the message on the Search will be “Marriage is Honorable in All.” June is commonly called “wedding month.” However, in our presentday American culture, about fifty percent of couples (with or without children) are living together, but not married. America needs a restoration of the sanctity of marriage.
Join Mack for an informative lesson on marriage on Channel 27, KDFI-TV at 7:00 a.m.

As of this writing, we still have not received the banner we will use to solicit participants in
“Friendspeak.” Continue to pray and prepare for the people God will give us to learn the Scriptures.

I had a nice visit with Myrtle Brunton on the phone this week and she told me that she is now living in a care facility in Corsicana. Her address is 4001 West 4th St., Corsicana, 75110, Room 413. She also has a cell phone and would appreciate hearing from any who might like to call. The number is 972-207-0016.Without our knowing it, she went through a fall resulting in a broken hip which necessitated a full hip replacement and then had surgery for infections on both feet. She is doing well at the present. Encourage her with a card or a call.
Please reserve Tuesday evening, June 19th, for our Keenagers Meeting. We will have a special guest to entertain us. His name is Marc Brown, and as you might guess, he is the grandson of Charlie and Nadine.
