We were missing alot of good folks today due to illness. There seems to be some sort of wicked "BUG" going around and it is definately unwelcome here. Several people called in sick this morning-Janice McDaniel, a Sunday School Teacher, Clay Dye's family, Ronnie Beasley, who's one of our great musicians, Ray Mann's family, Rick Barton. There may be others we don't know about. Be assured we feel the emptiness whenever you are away. You are loved and wanted and missed and cared for here at WCFC.
Sunday night we got news that Ronnie Cockrell's aunt Pearl passed away. Her husband was only holding on for her so they don't think he will make it very long. They are in their 80's and were in a bad wreck a while back. Also, Lou Carter's brother, Hollie Sandlin, who is also Dianne Cockrell and Neal Sandlin's uncle, is in the hospital. He has alzheimer's disease and the family is really needing your prayers.
Please, if you have a prayer request you'd like to be posted on the blog, give me the info, and I will be more than happy to update for you. I try to write as much as I can, but I apologize for missing so many announcements and requests. I sure wish I had taken shorthand in high school back in the old days!
Let's remember to keep our beloved Pastor and his family in our prayers. I think maybe we tend to see Bro. Smith as invincible and as strong as steel, and he is in many ways, but he also is human. Pray that the Lord will uphold them and give them strength and wisdom as they steer this congregation. May we as church members try to do as much as we can to support our Pastor's family. We love all of you so much and we enjoyed seeing Joan's mom today at church.
Bless you all!
