Steve and Carol Rogers welcomed a new granddaughter on Friday, the 24th, when their daughter, Ashley, and her husband, Jason Lybrand, became the parents of a baby girl they have named Blair! The family also includes Blair's brothers Carter and Parker.
Another precious addition to our class family!
Please keep them in your prayers as Blair was born about 2 weeks early when Ashley developed BP issues. Blair was put in the NICU on oxygen. Grandmother Rogers says they should be fine and we are very thankful for that. God Bless this family!

Cultivate Contentment ...
Scripture: Philippians 4:10-20 and 1 Timothy 6:6-12
In Paul's first letter to Timothy he discussed Godliness and Contentment as great gain. By Godliness he meant leading a life that honored God and keeping His commandments. By Contentment he meant being satisfied with what God provides for us and not giving in to the temptation of greed. Contentment is an affirmation of our faith in God's ability and desire to provide for us.
Prayer Requests:
Gerald and Brenda - Love short visits.
S Green - Sheilah R's step mom - Bone Marrow Biopsy this week.
L Green - her dad - during these times and he's been ill recently.
Unspoken - many
Fred K - friend of Don's with cancer.
C Odom - Randy H's BIL - health problems
N Sanchez - MDA friend of Self's there with Hospice - not strong enough to go home.
Mike and Wanda's parents.
Jay and Rebecca Y - Gleeda's family
S Horne - Van's SIL - Cancer. Went on their own to MDA. In trial study.
Alice L - S Lowery's sis.
Praise:
Zo's mission trip was wonderful. She'll share soon.
Jane D - Ann H's sister doing well.
Dads and their influence on us.

Blessings at Shoal Creek
Once again to those of you who were at Sunday School Sunday and also to those of you who weren't - we thank you all for the hard work in preparing for and serving at Shoal Creek Valley. We had 26 members helping on Saturday and fed over 200. Ann, we all appreciate you taking charge and pulling everything and everyone together! We've heard only positive comments and that is a day we will all remember.
In the picture with Brenda and Pete and her parents is her cousin. Her husband is the Fire Chief and was in that damaged truck. He was caught in the tornado and thrown into the lake but got out and swam to safety.

Defer to the Owner ...
Scripture: 1 Chronicles 29:10-20
Today we began a series of lessons concerning our attitudes toward possessions. Once we realize that we are only temporary residents of this earth and God owns everything throughout Eternity, our perspective becomes a Biblical one. We are stewards of the things that God intrusts to us and our responsibility is to give Him glory and praise through the use of our possessions.
Prayer requests:
Gerald and Brenda
Unspoken
Zo's friend and their son and the mission trip she's going on. The VBS they will do, special ed teachers she hopes to be able to work with, her voice to return before they leave. Others on the trip and those they minister to. We took up a love gift toward the supplies they now will take for VBS.
Our church's VBS this week. Bonnie will deliver the meal she is preparing one day. She doesn't have to serve the meal.
Number to feed from Restoration Academy decreased to 20-25.
Donna's family in loss of her dear aunt Jane and Don have known for years.
Sharon Green - Sheilah R's step-mother
Wayne Williams - good friend of Don and Jane. Former class member.
Sandra Horne - Van's sis-in-law - treatment and complications.
Johnny Payne - friend of Roger's
Alice Livingston and Karyn Williams in need of job.
Praise that the Bailey's will welcome a granddaughter and
Cochrans will welcome a grandson!!
This coming Saturday, June 11th, we will feed people at Shoal Creek Valley. Ann has worked hard on organizing this and we appreciate all in the class who've stepped up to help. We need all who can to come on Saturday. Contact Ann H with any questions.
Birthday night will be June 13th at 6:30 at Munoz. Dessert by Brenda Bryant.
Ladies Luncheon on Friday, June 17th. Place TBA
