Thursday, January 16, was the beginning of the Young at Hearts activities for 2025. Seventeen folks enjoyed their choice of three homemade soups with sandwiches, crackers, desserts, and beverages to complement. The tables were decorated by the YAH Committee. Ronney Craig read a story about setting our standards to please the Lord. An offering of $15 was received for the Cherokee County Food Bank.
A slight change has been made on the committee. Ronney has stepped down from the chairman position and Jeanette has graciously agreed to take her place.
The February activity will be the Jake Buchanan Valentine Supper featuring a church-wide potluck dinner. It will be Sunday evening, February 16, at 5:30 p.m. in place of the evening service. All are invited.
Janet Everett and Faye Parker need our prayers, as their brother passed away in Florida recently. Also remember Nancy Huffines, whose husband went Home a few weeks ago; and the family of June Brooks. Others continuing to need our prayers include Ruth Cochran, Lee Ellen Rickett, Jim and Jeanette Wilson, Pat Sealy, Ruth Griffing, Linda Graham, and Imagean Adams. Remember Charlotte Clutton, Louise Phillips (and her son Larry as he cares for her), Johnnie Brock, Dolly Rice, Darrell Dailey, Tricia Dailey's sister Michelle, Ronney Craig, Burke West, Kenneth and Priscilla Cope, Shelby O'Neal, Cricket Gray, and Marilyn Raxter. Pray for Jim and Pat Lancaster and their daughter and granddaughter, Walter Raxter, Teresa and Ray Hyde, Reba Gibson, Jeannie and Mack Huscusson, Robin Gibson, Kathy Nichols, Barb Jones, and Tim Tyler also need our prayers.
Don't forget to remember regularly 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. Also remember our military keeping us safe and first responders.
Happy Valentine's Day!

Faye Parker, and Jeanette Wilson
