Charlie gave announcements about Eddie being in Colorado, upcoming events like the groundbreaking on the north campus, equips class starting, and nominations for deacons. He mentioned the bucket ministry's impact and Pastor John's camper trip. There was also a mention of a sermon, a snake encounter while frog gigging, an upcoming adult revival, and updates on community members needing prayers, including those recovering from surgeries. The session ended with a prayer. Morning, everybody. I'm Charlie. I'm here to give you the announcement this week. Okay, Eddie is off up with his wife up in Colorado, I think it is. I think he sent us a message yesterday said 65 degrees. So we haven't had our hundred degree days yet. And I'm happy about it. But I still wish I was up in that 65 degree weather, August the 24th. If you were here, our pastor, we're talking about it. They talked about it in the deacons meeting yesterday. We've got a groundbreaking on the north campus, 630 in the evening. So it's the hottest part of the day. But there's a tent and they would like a lot of people to be there. So they're going to break bread. I don't know if they're going to have any anybody know if they're going to have snacks or anything. I know there's water cooling fans instead of snacks. I like snacks. But anyway, they're gonna be shoveling some dirt. And the equips class start next week to 27. Is that next week or the week after? I run out of time. Okay, next week. Still time to nominate some guys for deacons. So if you have someone you'd like to nominate, just it's as simple as write down a name and put your name on it and say you're nominating them and put it in the offering box. It's that simple. Okay. All right. Committee of committee committee for committees, they always need people that are willing to be. I call it management behind the scenes helping others join committees to get things done in our church. Mark Moore was back. He shared with me yesterday that the bucket ministry he never realized how important water is to life until you go over and see people what they have to drink as water. And they are back. They really had a good ministry over there. And he says it was life changing for him. And he's been in the ministry for a long time, folks. All right. Pastor john's back. He said three weeks in a camper with the wife can be life changing. Okay. But he said they worked everything out and it was a good trip. Okay. I didn't ask. He also had a fantastic sermon if y'all weren't here for it this morning. He brought up one of the things in my life I should maybe I shouldn't take. He talked about the miracle of leading the beating the 5000. But he also talked about walking on water. I had that experience once. I was with my father in law. We were frog gigging. Any of you ever do that? I was stupid enough to say, Okay, I don't know if I'll eat them or not, but I'll do it. So we're on this little lake over on the edge of Dallas. It's real shallow. And this idiot up front. I'm paddling in the back. That's usually me doing the work. And this guy says, Oh, I see a snake over. Hey, let's get it. So he takes that gig and he gigs the snake. Well, when it closed, that snake goes right up that pole and into the boat. The other two guys says I got out of that boat and got to the shore so fast. They were sure I was walking on water. Folks, they live among us. Okay. Let me see September the seventh. At 5pm. The adult chapel is going to have a adult rival. And Dr. I don't know this man, but I'm sure many of you do. OS Hawkins and the Texas country boys will be there. Okay, so that looks 5pm in the evening, September 7. We in town. We will not be in town. Okay. Yesterday at the deacons meeting, I had the privilege, you know, these Draper key people. They're everywhere. And some of you might have seen the EF Hutton commercial, right? You ever hear that and where they go? EF Hutton says, and everybody goes, when the drapers talk, I listen. Okay. Randy Draper yesterday was talking about First Thessalonians 511. The word says it better than me. It says therefore encourage one another and build each other up justice in the fact that you are doing. So that's our main job. And this class is good at it. I've heard so many people call so many others on the phone, check them all out. Okay, just keep encouraging others. Back to school. We've got some former teachers here. John walking Shaw was a principal. Barbara's not here today. She must have knew I was going to talk about it. But for those of you that hang around Charlotte, that means you may sure on your way to the West. What is that West cafe you go to all the time? Old West, the old West cafe. Be careful of the kids crossing the streets and so forth while you're going to have breakfast. Okay. All right. Follow up on prayers. John walking Shaw any he's got rehab starting this week, John.

And her kids told me today that, you know, they have been playing more outside. So apparently, she's having a hard time of it. So remember, Diane Hill, thank you. Any more thoughts per request that we need to address? If you haven't put any back there, hey, it's a privilege to pray for y'all. So put it on the list so we can put it on. Okay. All right. If we can bow our word in prayer, we can get Jimmy up here and get us going. Lord, we thank you for today for the women and men that are here today, and their passion for you. We thank you for our teachers. There. We've got three of the best fathers that are modern day prophets to us. They show us your word, and we need to go out and work it. Thank you for your Holy Spirit that is constantly working with us walking with us hand in hand, even helping us literally walk on water. We praise you for all that Jimmy's going to teach us today. And we ask that you give us your grace and your mercy as we go through trying to make you happy and tell others. Pray these things in your name. Amen.
