Penny is doing well

Hello Life Group memebers.

Sorry to have been away so long. I had no Internet service all weekend, the result of a dying cable modem. That is now taken care of, but my days are full of work related stuff and I'm still not on line much.

The e-mail from the church about Penny having come out of the surgery and doing well is encouraging. That she even had the surgery despite her sinus condition is one answer to prayer. Let's continue to prayer for her, and for Mal, and for the recipient of her kidney--that his body would not reject it.

Don't forget the collection for some money to put on a gift card for them to eat out when Penny returns from Nashville. We'll continue to collect on that this coming Sunday, maybe one after that as well.

Class Function at Nightingale's

Reminder:

This Saturday, October 10, our Life Group will meet at the Nightingale's house for a cookout and time of fellowship. Gather there somewhere around 5:30 to 6:00 PM. The grill will be hot.

Bring whatever meat you want to grill, along with a side dish to share. You might want to bring a lawn chair for each in your party.

Missed Not Having Class

I enjoyed the joint service yesterday. The IHI kids sure showed us a foot-stompin' good time! And the praise band did a great job with their substitutes on several instruments.

But I missed not having class. Across the gymnasium I saw most of our class. How good to see Bob and Bessie Black in the service, way across the congregation, back from their wanderings. Next week we will begin our study of Hebrews. I'm looking forward to it.

What about prayer requests and praises? Anything? We didn't get to share, but we need to stay aware of what we should bring before the Lord. Penny, when exactly is it that you travel to Nashville and have the surgery? I hope you will post here and let us know, so we may be praying for you. Possibly it's next week, not this. And Gary, how goes it with you? Missed you Sunday.
