THANK
YOU
Thank you so much for the outpouring of love
you have shown me and my family in the last few months and weeks leading up to
my Mom’s death. I appreciate so much the calls, cards, visits, texts, the
beautiful peace lily and encouraging gifts. Some of the texts in particular
were obviously the Holy Spirit working through God’s people as they were
perfectly timed. Thank you also to those who drove a long way to be with us at
the visitation and funeral, it meant so much. Thank you also to Debbie Baucum
and all my Happy Times family for allowing me to be gone for an extended time
to be with my Mom. Please keep us in your prayers as we navigate life without
Mom. My stepdad found out on the day of the funeral that he has
cancer in one of his kidneys.
Love you all.
Jan
Burns
We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for
the beautiful plant and all of the cards and letters sent after the passing of
our mother/grandmother/great grandmother, NoraBelle Reed. Please continue to
pray for my family as we adjust to this void. She was a mother to many.

Underwood and Kim Story)
SUNDAY MORNING ASSEMBLY
SHIFT YOUR FOCUS:
Lessons from 1st Corinthians
Last week we finished the first section of our 1st Corinthians
study where Paul urges the church to focus on God’s ways rather than having a
worldly perspective. In short, we can look in the wrong places for guidance and
end up hurting ourselves and our church family.
Sunday, February 19th, through April 2 we will
be looking at chapters where Paul gets a little more specific, admonishing the
church in Corinth to be intentional about their own selfishness. Our goal
should be the same, to admit our own selfish desires and deal with them by
focusing on God’s desires for our daily living.
