Jameson
Sarratt met with some of the elders and
wants to work and fellowship with us at Central. Please welcome and encourage
him.
PRAYERS REQUESTS
Darrell Brown: “I’m asking for prayers that much
spiritual growth will take place in my life.”
Ben Clark: “Please pray for Lily, who is
now sick. Thanks that the rest of us are feeling better now.”
Lisa Cooper: “1) Praise God for the answered prayers
for my brother, Greg. He is physically much better. Thank you all. 2) Please
pray for my sister, Lorie, who is having back surgery. The first of a 2-part
operation will be early a.m. of 12/28. The second part will be on 12/30. Thank
you very much.”
Ed and Sharon Ditto: “Pray that God will give Jim and
Tracy wisdom as they foster parent Rose.”
Arzell Flint: “Please pray for me that God continues
to direct my path and to stay connected among the dwellers in Christ Jesus.”
Carol Kuhn: “Please continue to pray for Jamie
as she heals. We are so grateful for her life and healing and for all the
prayers, cards, gifts, and visits.”
Jamie Kuhn: “I am asking all the people who have
prayed over me to lift up this world that many would come to know Jesus tonight. It’s just that I woke up this morning
desperately wanting that, and I’ve asked the whole Living Christmas Tree
choir to pray tonight as well. I’ve felt and seen the hand of God and He’s
performed so many miracles on my behalf. I just know (and already knew) he
could do the same for this world. He saved and healed me, and He can do the
same. Thank you so so much❤️❤️❤️ I can’t tell you how much it
meant to me – all the prayers. God saved me once again, this time physically.
He has used this to overwhelm me with His love and heart towards me and I just wanna share it with as many people as possible and prayer
has always been my favorite method with my patients. I am proof that all of
y’all’s prayers are powerful and effective. Thank you all so so much!!” (Update on Jamie: Please continue to keep
her in your prayers as she heals. Cards may be sent to her at her home: Since Jamie
is now at her home, cards may be sent there. Her address is: 27601 Emma Drew
Drive, Elkmont, AL 35620.)
Mike and Dawn Long: “My mom’s (Carolyn Mullins) back
surgeries went well. Thank you for all your prayers. Please continue to pray
for her recovery and therapy. We hope to have her home by Christmas.”
Michael and Marjie
Nance:
“Thanks be to God for the end of the School Semester and more importantly, for
the opportunity to celebrate what God has done this season. Also, thanks be to
God for the fact that Jamie Kuhn is home from the hospital and was able
to watch the Living Christmas Tree Saturday night (December 18).”
Don and Janice Phillips: “Praise for release of missionaries in
Haiti! Amen.”
Ryans Family: “Safe travels for all those doing so
for the holidays.”

WEDNESDAY
ADULT CLASS
DECEMBER
MINI-TERM 2021 – FLC
In the Old Testament, God made
some amazing promises to people like Abraham, Israel, and David. These promises
established how God related with His people for centuries. In the New
Testament, we find that not only do Christians inherit some of these promises,
but they provide hope that is an anchor for our souls (Hebrews 6:19). In this
mini-series, we will examine some of these promises and explore how they remain
relevant for our lives today. This class can either be in-person in the Family
Life Center or join in on Zoom. Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86363371603?pwd=cjM1bmFxZ0kyTU5SR1VQUlN2QlpOZz09
The Generational Discipleship
class will pick back up on January 5. Other classes will also be provided as
well. More details to come!
ADULT CLASS FOR SUNDAY, DECEMBER 26
Please note that there will be
only one adult class for this coming Sunday morning, December 26, at 9:00 in
