REJOICE

We rejoice with the angels over the birth of a brother. Jason Dearborn, a resident of His Way, was baptized Sunday, November 20th. Please welcome and encourage him.

 

PRAYER REQUESTS

Ř  LaQuinta Andrews: “Please pray for my friend, Bree. She is a young mother fighting cancer and recently learned that it is spreading. Praying for her family and for her peace as she goes through this tough time.”

Ř  Gerry Binford asks us to pray for two of his sisters – Gwen McCombs is in a hospital in Memphis with pneumonia and Georgia Scott is in a hospital in Montgomery with health issues. (Update: Gwen is now home from the hospital.)

Ř  Nathan and Deborah Brown: “Please continue in prayer for Nathan’s 94-year-old father. He fell again last night (Saturday, November 26th) and was taken to the emergency room around 4:00 this morning. He didn’t break anything, but the doctors said his white blood count was high. Thank you! We love you all!” (Update: Nathan said that physically he is slowly getting better, but all the changes in his location are very bad for his spirits. Mr. Brown is back in his assisted living place in Decatur. Please keep praying for him.)

Ř  Ed and Sharon Ditto: “Pray for Allison and Jackson Ledford as they deal with pregnancy. Welcome home to the Lucas Family and to the Clarks.”

Ř  Stephanie Lewis: “My uncle Richard Pierce had a stroke on Thanksgiving night. He was released from Huntsville Hospital last night (Saturday, November 26th).”

Ř  Tom and Selwyn Reynolds: “Please pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters that they will experience Christ’s presence and not feel alone. Also, Sel’s brother, Joe, is having knee replacement tomorrow (Monday, November 28th). Pray for success and quick healing.” (Update from Selwyn: “Joe is doing well. The surgery went well, and he has started physical therapy. I thank everyone for their prayers! If anyone wanted to send him a card his address is: Joe Williams, 103 Crimson Rose Drive, Apt 11, Madison, AL  35756.”)

Ř  Doug Turbyfill: “Please pray for Matthew Beavers’ recovery.”

ASSEMBLY LESSON SERIES: “THE SPIRITUAL REALMS”

This series follows an exploration of God and His character by acknowledging our enemy and his hold in our lives and this world. It is God who conquers the enemy, not humans, but he has given us abundant wisdom on how to address temptation, persecution, and injustice in our daily walks.

Theme Scripture: Ephesians 6:10-13
