Prayer Request - Storm Victims

We need to keep in prayer the family's who lost loved ones, and those who lost their homes and businesses with last nights storm. It could have easily been one of us.

I have several state office that I cover, who were down today. Greenville has no power, and has been declared a disaster area. KY National Guard has been called into Muhlenberg area.

SelfStudy - Week of 2-3-07

Hey Team:

1. WELCOME: to Danielle, Alexis, and Abby Martin! Although they have been faithful at FBC for some time, it is great to make it "official." Thanks to all of you who have been such great friends to Danielle. Let's continue to love, support and encourage this family in the days to come.

2. PARENTING CLASS: Not sure about the dates yet (probably beginning in March), but we are going to have a parenting class at FBC taught by Carolyn Self, who you may know has taught such classes in our community (and other communities) for close to 40 years. Parents of all ages are encouraged to participate. It should be helpful -- and fun!

3. MARRIAGE CONFERENCE: Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 26 when Dr. Gary Smalley will lead a marriage conference at our church. O.K., Dr. Smalley will appear by simulcast, but it promises to be great. More information to come.

4. CLASS FELLOWSHIP: We will have a potluck S.S. class fellowship the end of February or beginning of March. The tentative date (subject to the availability of the CLC) is February 29 at 6:00 p.m.

5. PROSPECTS: Roy Wayne and Tammy White visited our class again last Sunday. If any of you know them and/or would be willing to follow up with them, their phone number is 475-2738. Their address is 2175 Little River Church Road (either Pembroke or Hopkinsville -- not sure). Also, Tim and Kim Downs and their daughters Lacey and Bailey visited this past Sunday. I know many of you know them so please let them know how much we would love to have them come to S.S., etc. (306 Tremont Dr., 886-8481).

Press on...

Prayer Request - Chester Young

Andrew,

I also need to ask prayer for Chester Young, Juanita's husband, he is in the hospital in Nashville. The doctors don't think he will live through the day. Tim, Buddy, & Diane were taking care of Juanita's funeral arrangements and received a call from the hospital saying that Chester was unresponsive. Tim isn't sure if they will get to the hospital in time to see Chester before he passes.

They really need alot of prayer right now. This is something they thought might happen, but weren't ready to deal with it either. I would just appreciate it if everyone would keep them in your prayers.

Thanks, Mike

Prayer Request - Family of Juanita Young

Andrew,

I am requesting prayer for the family of Juanita Young, she passed away last night. She is the mother of Tim & Buddy Young and Diane Kennedy.

Some of you may know Tim, he owns Tim's Body Shop at the corner of Sanderson & North Main. Buddy used to own an auto repair service.

They are tentatively planning visitation tomorrow at Lamb's Funeral Home and the funeral Sunday. Just remember the family in your prayers.

Thanks, Mike.
