FAMILY & FRIENDS
Karen Horton

Our heartfelt sympathy goes to Phyllis Archer in the loss of her mother, Rowena Parker. Please keep Phyllis, John and their family in your prayers. Rowena was a very dear lady and will be greatly missed by all.

“I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart; I will tell of all Your wonders.” (Psalm 9:1) We had a beautiful Lord’s Day! These are the visitors we were blessed with: Whitney Diane Cool and Linda Funk (Wichita, KS), Debra Nicholson (Elk City, OK), Bob & Patsy Boynton (Whitney, TX), Chareen & Logan Button, Deborah Button, Katie Lessly, Austin Nelson, and Mark & Laura Williams and Katie & Beth (Bentonville), Ted & Lanette Hiers and Megan, Vicky Hobson (Centerton), Kay Hutchinson, Peggy Maddock and Donna Noll (Siloam Springs), Matt & Carol Anne Brasswell and Tyler, Norma Rose Butcher, Charles & Nancy Cash, Richard & Dianna Mehnert, Jim & Shirl Miller and Cathy Power (all from Bella Vista), Tyler Stroud, Brian Halbert and Ashley Thielbar.

Those on our sick list and others needing special prayers include: Gladys Caselman (Randall’s mother) is in the hospital with a blood clot in her leg. Ray Pinner has been moved to Bradford House; the address there is 1202 SE 30th in Bentonville. Chuck Dunnam has requested our prayers. Continue to pray for Randall and Georgia, Shirley Hale, Tim Short, Jim Bynum, Sue Gartrell, Dee Eitzen’s mother, and Jennifer Oxford. Keep our missionaries and our military in your prayers, especially Steven Duffy, Don Butcher, Jr., Ben Burlew and Cam Middlebrook.

Thanks to Charles Cash for two fantastic lessons this Lord’s Day! “Blest be the tie that binds or hearts in Christian love! The fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above.” (Fawcett)
Here are some of the things you need to know: We are in need for those willing to prepare communion and lock up the building for a month at a time in 2008. Your help would be greatly appreciated. The new Fun, Food, and Fellowship groups will be starting in February. Please sign the sheet in the foyer. This is a good way to get to know everyone. We hope all our newest members will sign up! You will enjoy the great fellowship and good food!

Those items needed for Fair Haven Children’s Home are toilet tissue, aluminum foil, paper towels, and zip lock bags.

“Followers of Christ should focus on what unites them, not on what divides them.” Love you, see you next Lord’s Day.
