Jean Collins’ brother is recovering from heart and kidney surgery. He continues to hold his own. One kidney failed and had to be removed, but the other is functioning well. He had a heart attack during surgery and following surgery. They found four arteries blocked. Jean said he is doing much better. She is resting as much as possible. Please check with Rusty or myself for updates. She needs her rest.

From John’s Desk:
We had a wonderful Sunday with 75 Sunday morning and 61 Sunday night. We had visitors, which is always good. We are asking parents to keep their children off the pulpit area. We now have equipment set up and it could be costly if broken. We do not want them near the baptistery area. We plan to secure that better in the near future. Please help us with this.
Our approaches to the drive through are much improved. Please watch and wipe your shoes when coming into the buildings. The white shell comes in on your shoes. We hope the new rugs will help with this.
We still need helpers with Wednesday night clean up. Last week was better. Please keep up the good work, working together. This is a great time for fellowship and it helps many to get here on time for worship. Come and enjoy.
Rusty and I have now done our PowerPoint introduction. We will be letting it rest for a while. I am just kidding. We will now be going forward. We will be expected to be experts before Larry gets back. Some of you know what the definition of expert is, so I will leave that one. Rusty and I are taking baby steps so we can learn to walk our way through this. Please be understanding with us. We have already worn out one lapel microphone cord. The CD’s are available of our lessons, ask Rusty for a copy.
Jim and Joyce Jarvis made cards for all our visitors at Vacation Bible School that we had addresses for. We wanted to let them know how wonderful it was to have them with us. Please, if you brought someone, be sure to invite them to
come worship with us.
Let me encourage you to vote August 26 or before. It is so convenient to vote now. You can do it be absentee ballot, vote early in your community or wait until Election Day and vote. This is the greatest freedom we have as Americans use it.
Do You Remember the Tater Family?
- Speck Tater- Always watching others work.
- Commen Tater- Always finding fault.
- Dick Tater- Always bossing.
- Agie Tater- Agitating everyone.
- Hezzie Tater- Never getting started
- Sweet Tater- Always loving and helping others.
Which Tater are you closest to? We only have instruction to be like Sweet Tater. We are to love one another, love our neighbors, and love our enemies. We are to do good to all, especially those in Christ. It is easy to follow the other Taters, but this is not what God wants of us. This is not what Jesus taught. We make the choice. We will serve God or self. Whom will you serve?
