Announcements

Eddie thanks Linda and asks how everyone is doing. They mention the Easter services, the high attendance, and a message given by Brother John. They also mention upcoming events, including an evangelism push, a fish fry on May 18th (which may be moved), and the need to update the church directory. The speaker acknowledges visitors and asks for blessings on the day. They end with a prayer. Thank you, Linda. Thank you. How is everyone? Good, good. I hope everyone had a nice Easter. I know they had some good services here, that cross service, if y'all didn't make it. Oh, that was amazing. That was a good one. 2,200 people that night, Jim. That's a good message, Brother John does. Excellent. They said it was one of the highest enrollment or attending. Yeah, I can believe that. Brother John talked about the little boy that came up to him early. Background on him was amazing. Oh, yeah, yeah. I listened to it on TV, on my social media platform, you know. That's how I listened to it. But I did appreciate him walking through the audience for the invitation. That's a wonderful, wonderful thing. Three things I want you to be mindful of in May. Next week, we're going to roll out that evangelism push the church is making. And so we'll speak to that in just a few minutes. Well, hello, Bradley. How are you? Where did the wife go? She went to another class? Yeah. Okay, I don't want to hear it. And then the fish fry, we try to do, I've got a couple of dates for the fish fry. May 18th, the week after Mother's Day. This is on Sunday. We usually try to do it on Sunday, since everybody's captive audience. I can drag you where I need to drag you. So mark your calendars for that. If it rains, we'll move into June. June 8th is my second date. We'll see how it rolls out. I'll get back to y'all on that. I'll put it on the announcements. Fish fry. May 18th. Is that okay with you, Terry? Yeah. What did you say? Just do it. That's right, John. I had to wait on her. I never had a party. They do? Okay, I did see something on the 18th. We may have to move it or see what we got going. We'll have a shuttle bus. Brother Jack and Jimmy didn't make it last time. I've already made a commitment to come to Brother Jack's house and do a fish fry in his backyard. He keeps putting me off. I'll be there. I'll be there before it gets hot. Before it gets hot, I'll come do it. You'd better hurry. Yeah, I'd better hurry. Yeah, exactly. We finally got a little water in the lake now, so we'll see how it goes. Daddy? Yes, Barbara? Maybe the 18th might not be when somebody's maybe wrong. Okay, I'll check some dates on that and just follow up where and where what's going on. Okay, okay. You know how it goes. Try to pick a date and it's always got something going, isn't it? I may be incorrect, but I believe it. If she's right, I wouldn't have thought she would have been incorrect, Barbara. That's good. All right, well, let's shoot for the 18th. What do you got? Another lesson? You got an extra one? We got plenty of lessons, I think. Anybody needs one? All right. Thirdly, I wanted to put out the directory back in January, and I looked at the old one. I did it in April. I thought they at least ought to last a year before we have to have another one. So, y'all need to check your information, your phones and addresses. I know some of them have changed. I know the McKinley's have changed their address, and so they're out and about. So, if you got things to change, let me know over the next week or two, and we'll get those directories out. We got a couple of visitors today. Jane Williamson and Doug. Good to see y'all. Thank you for being here today. Appreciate you being here. I left my glasses in the back. I had to look at it a little bit. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that. And another couple in the back, too. I said hi to you earlier, but I've already forgot your names. So, glad to have y'all here, too. Give them a round of applause for being here. All right. Brother Jimmy, we're going to do Joshua this morning. Yes, Sharon. It's good to see you again. Coming to visit the sister. Okay, good. And anybody else I'm missing? Same faces. I see the same pretty faces. Don't say it. Don't say it. I know. I'll get in trouble. Don't say it. All right. So, let's go to the Lord in prayer and ask His blessings on our last day. Heavenly Father, we're so thankful for this opportunity of gathering together on these wonderful times we have with our friends that come from our Christian faith and from our church. We're thankful, Lord, for the season. We just went through the Easter season and what it means to each and every one of us. Eternal life brought to men on earth. We're thankful, Lord, for that, for the sacrifice that was made, and for the promises that you keep for us. Thank the Lord for this day, for Brother Jimmy, as he teaches. May our hearts be open and our minds be attuned to the words today. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
