REJOICE

We rejoice with the angels over the birth of a new brother. Wagner Valdez, fiancé of Rose Kuhn, was baptized Monday, August 8th. He and Rose are now back at Harding University, but when he visits, please welcome and encourage him.

PRAYER REQUESTS

  Debbie Cole’s brother-in-law, Alan Beach, had brain surgery Wednesday, August 10, to relieve pressure. Continue to keep him and his wife, Joni, in your prayers as they do not know whether his cognitive abilities will be the same or diminished some. Cards may be sent to Alan and Joni Beach, 410 Wisteria Drive, Radford, VA 24141.

  Please continue to pray for Dawn Long. She has been moved to ICU at the Madison Hospital with breathing problems.

  Please pray for Karen Lowery’s mother, Sue Sanders, as she had a mild stroke Monday, August 8th. Cards may be sent to Mrs. Sanders at 1225 E. 105th Street, Carmel, IN 47280.

  Please continue to keep Donna Roshell’s brother-in-law, Robert, in your prayers after his surgeries. He is still in the hospital. Cards may be sent to Robert and Kelley Calloway, 2853 Marti Lane, Montgomery, AL 36116.

SUNDAY ASSEMBLY (10:15 AM)

“Spiritual Vision for Life”: June 26 through August 28

As Christians, we are called to “live by faith, not by sight” and to “regard no one from a worldly point of view” (2 Corinthians 5:7, 16). So, do we see things the way the world sees them, or do we see things from a spiritual point of view? In this series, speakers will present lessons on several topics to help us think spiritually and see spiritually.
