A community backpack blessing event will be conducted Sunday, July 27, at 11 a.m. at Tillatoba Baptist Church. Bring your backpack to our Sunday morning service and let us pray over it and encourage you as you began a new school year. This is open to anyone in the community. You do not have to be a member to participate.
Diane Dukes reported Bible school started Sunday, 6 to 8:30 p.m. It was a good turnout. There were about 38 kids present. Everyone had a good time. The little and big kids were so excited.
“Let’s keep praying for the kids, parents, helpers and the church over all,” said Nancy Rose.
Deborah McCool says nothing much is going on up their way. Their daughter, Angela, gave a little scare when she had to go to ER. “Thank God she is OK, but still going to get double check with her heart doctor next week,” Deborah said.
Tommy McCool and son-in-law Jason Beavers went to son Christopher’s Saturday afternoon to help him hang a big wooden swing bed on their front porch. Tommy said he supervised while Jason and Christopher did the work. Samantha was very happy with the work they did.
With a whole lot on her mind, Martha Box said she still made it to church Sunday, “and what a special encouragement it was, soul-touching songs and message!” Martha Bro. Truman Scarborough so thoroughly taught about God the Creator, the Leader, the Provider, the God Almighty! “A message we all needed, young and old,” Martha noted.
Martha enjoyed a great lunch last week at the Ole Corner Store with brother Jesse. There was great food and great company.
Joey and Katelyn McClanahan visited Bobby Joe McClanahan and other relatives for the July 4 weekend. Breanna McClanahan visited Freddie Wayne and Jojo McClanahan on Saturday afternoon.
David and I had an enjoyable Sunday afternoon with daughter Donna Garripoli and granddaughter Francesca, Brad and Bradley Holliday, all of Grenada! Donna and I ate watermelon for lunch and it was good and sweet! Just like I like them.
Congratulations to Brother Mike Ramage on his retirement from preaching, but, as they say, a pastor never retires completely. I pray you and Miss Patti will enjoy your retirement and now you can visit your little granddaughter more often.
Lynn Marceleno reported that there were three train derailments in one weekend in Mississippi. That sounds kinda strange to me.
