The annual Christmas luncheon held at Julie's Place was a great success. Sixteen folks drove themselves over for a time of food and fellowship. Bonnie Lloyd designed and made beautiful centerpieces for the tables, and most of the ladies got to take home one of them. Ronney Craig led in 3 Christmas games, and they were won by Faye Parker, Priscilla Cope, and Phoebe Jackson. Each received a book as a prize. The anticipated cookie exchange was a delightful way to take home samples of all the cookies people brought!
In January of the new year, we will meet on Thursday, the 16th, at 11:30 a.m. for a Soup Luncheon. The 2025 YAH Calendars will be distributed at this meeting, so you'll want to be sure to be there. It will also be a time to sign up for when you would like to decorate next year, or have the devotions for a meeting.
Continue to pray for Ruth Cochran, Lee Ellen Rickett, Jim and Jeanette Wilson, Pat Sealy, Ruth Griffing, Linda Graham, and Imagean Adams. Remember Bill and Nancy Huffines, Charlotte Clutton, Louise Phillips (and her son Larry as he cares for her), Johnnie Brock in a care center in Georgia, Dolly Rice, Darrell Dailey, Tricia Dailey's sister Michelle, Ronney Craig, Burke West, June Brooks, Kenneth and Priscilla Cope, Shelby O'Neal, Cricket Gray, and Marilyn Raxter. Pray for Jim and Pat Lancaster, as she had a fall recently, as well as their daughter and granddaughter, who are still waiting for new kidneys. Also, Walter Raxter, Teresa and Ray Hyde, Reba Gibson, Mack Huscusson, Robin Gibson, and Kathy Nichols. Barb Jones recently had shoulder surgery, so please pray for healing; Tim Tyler was burned in a fire recently and needs our prayers.
Don't forget to keep in your prayers Pastor Calvin and his family, our youth director, Warren Carlile, deacons and their families, Jennifer Farr and musicians, teachers and leaders in the various Sunday and Wednesday evening classes, and each one who has a unique part in making Andrews First Baptist Church a lighthouse for Jesus. Pray for safety for students and staff at the schools. May they let their light shine for Jesus, and may they be kept safe during the Christmas holiday break. And remember our military keeping us safe, and first responders.
