Cochran's welcome a new grandson!!

George Elliott Cochran was born on September 19th becoming the second grandson for Zo and Mike! Clay and Julie Cochran are little George's parents and everyone is doing well. He was 7 pounds 14 ounces and 20.5 inches long. If I'm remembering correctly George is named for Zo's dad.

In November Zo and Mike are expecting another grandson!

God continues to bless our class family with these new little ones and we give Him all the praise and glory for these blessings!

We welcomed Tyler and Jennifer Eiland to class...

Instead of our lesson this morning we welcomed the young missionary couple, Tyler and Jennifer Eiland, who spoke to us about their life and work in the middle of Africa in an area called The Democratic Republic of Congo. They were church planters there.

Jennifer grew up in Pleasant Grove as a friend of the Baileys. She says they are somehow distantly related! Tyler grew up in Clanton and they met at Samford and gave their lives as missionaries expecting to serve in foreign lands for maybe 25 years and then retire but their plans changed when they noticed slow developmental progress with one of their young daughters named Hope. She has been diagnosed with High Functioning Autism and through programs here they see her making strides they never thought would be possible.

Please pray with them that Tyler will find a position in a church to continue God's work or he is open to work in other areas. They are currently on medical leave which the IMB extended another month for them and at that time all their income and benefits will cease.

We've been praying for them since we heard of their situation and recently made a Love Gift donation to them for which they were most thankful. They also have another young daughter that some of our ladies had in VBS. Her name is Sophia.

They welcome encouraging emails. Their addresses are: tylereiland@gmail.com and jenniferceiland@gmail.com .

Our prayer requests for today are:
Mrs. Arthur - Nancy's mom
Emma Kate - Dorrs granddaughter's been sick and other grandmother had to keep her this week so she wouldn't give anything to new baby Chloe Paige. Chloe is doing well.
Matt J - Dan Z's nephew
Mr. Waldrop - Glynda's dad
Travelers
Jane A - Tim's sis
Hubbard family - Gleeda's friend lost son and husband within 2 months.
B Blackwell - Bonnie's mom - surgery is out - to see Dr. about what she can do. (Neck is very fragile.)
Freddy W - friend of some and church member - serious health issues.
Brenda S - doing well
Jennifer and Tyler - our new missionary friends and their young daughters
