S.S.

Hey Team,

We desperately need nursery workers for this Sunday. Although we have a number of folks signed up for the last two Sundays of the month, we don't have anybody signed up for this Sunday. Please let me know if you can help.

Also, please remember Amy Stooksbury and her family. Her father died earlier this week after an extended illness.

Hope to see you Sunday as we continue our evaluation of our Sunday School class.

Press on.

S.S.

Hey Team,

Hope you are all well.

Thanks again to Eva for a great study on the book of Ruth. I know, I know, I am a little (O.K. a lot) partial to her, but I think she always does a great job. My impression is that everybody else who participated in the study felt the same way. Hopefully we will be able to get her to do it again sometime.

I am thankful for and blessed by my spouse -- and if you will stop and think about it, you are blessed by your spouse too. Maybe we need to count the many reasons why, and then tell them, thank them, and love them in their language.

We need all hands on deck starting this Sunday as we begin our S.S. class Retreat/Evaluation/Self-Study (pun intended). It is always good -- in all situations and life experiences -- to examine, reexamine, evaluate, reevaluate, etc. And that's what we are going to do starting this Sunday regarding our S.S. What and how and why and . . . can we make S.S. more meaningful, etc.

Hope to see you there!

Press on.

SelStudy - First Baptist Sunday School

Hey Team,

Hope things are going well for you as the summer winds down.

Eva will finish our study of Ruth in the next couple of weeks and then we will have our in-class "retreat." This will be a good time to evaluate anything and everything about our class and chart our course for the future. I pray it will be a time of self-examination, challenge, and conviction. Let's be open to God's leading and see what happens.

Hope to see you Sunday.

Press on!

Prayer Request - Dawn Ray

Andrew,

I have a prayer request that I hope you can get out to everybody.

Dawn Ray, Paul's wife, fell on the 19th while trying to help put the solar cover on the pool and broke 5 ribs. Needless to say, she is staying at home and doing as little as possible.

I just ask for prayer of healing for Dawn. Patience and understanding for Paul and the 3 kids.

Thanks,

Mike
