        Good morning all. I hope all had a good weekend. I can’t say I went to church, it was too cold for an old lady to get out. Pat told Myrtle I couldn’t say Pat preached good. But I bet he did, as he always does.
        Myrtle said church was all good. Jennifer did a special and Robin and Nickie did ‘Beulah Land’. They do that so pretty.

        Terry and Donna Rice would like to share the news of their newest grandson, Corben Jeffery Rice. He was born February 7 at 8:05 a.m. after a long 12-hour labor. This makes 3 grandsons and three granddaughters. The Good LORD has truly blessed them.
        Quite a few people attended the 10:30 a.m. Bible Study on Tuesday at the Senior Center this past week; we were so pleased. Please come and have a great, blessed morning. The lunch afterward is always a treat.

        Good morning all. I hope all had a good weekend. I went to church both times. Myrtle was able to go too. We enjoyed it a lot. Our numbers were up some, but some were coughing a lot.
        Pat preached real good as always. Rachel and Travis did one of the specials, which was great.

        Sunday School and church attendance were good on Sunday. We had Bro. Omer Painter preach for us Sunday morning and night in the absence of our Pastor. Glad to have him and his wife, Lydia. Also glad Larry Cannon was able to be with us.
        Our sincere sympathy to the family of Emma Nelson who passed way. Her funeral and burial were at Pine Orchard. The ladies of the church prepared a meal for the family at the gym. I have many fond memories of Emma.
