January 2012 Ladies' Luncheon
Twelve ladies enjoyed a delicious lunch and lots of fellowship at Firebirds Wood Fired Grill on Wednesday, January 18. We were happy to have Lisa's daughter, Beth, join in the fun. Hope more can join us in February on Friday the 17th. Lisa is making plans for us to dine at Devinci's of Homewood.
Changes
Our prayer requests and praises from Sunday will now be emailed. We felt that with issues regarding privacy and other matters this would be best and discussed this in class on January 8th.

Stay Focused on the Goal
Jimmy Summers led us in our Bible study from Numbers 32. We demonstrate that our focus is on fulfilling God's purposes when we take steps to help others know and follow God's purposes too. We also show a deep sense of spiritual obligation when we commit to fulfilling God's purposes over our wants and plans.

Stay Grateful for God's Care ...
Scripture from Numbers 16:1 - 25:18
We thank Earl Tharp so much for stepping in for Don today! As I'm sure most of you know, Don took a fall on Wednesday and isn't able to get around well and has now developed pain with a bone or nerve in his hip. We still have much to be thankful for on this - in Earl's words: "The first day of a new week of a new month of a new year - 2012!" Thank you for all your prayers and offers of help. As long as I'm able to do for him, we are making it fine.
We are here because of people in our lives that have led us and have gone on before us. We should remember to be thankful to God for His mercy and what He has in store for us.
Earl brought out several meaningful points and thoughts this morning. Another was that instead of making resolutions that we might not follow through with he told us to rely on God's word as our resolution for 2012. Proverbs 3:6 KJV: "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths."
He reminded us that when he was our Interim Pastor, Dr. Charles Carter would say that in order to make it through each day and what it brings to us we each should recite the 23rd Psalm several times a day. Another wonderful thing Earl reminded us of was our model prayer, The Lord's Prayer" and that we could recite it during the day also. Turning every second of every day over to God is what we each should remember to do when we first think we have something to handle. WE don't have to handle it GOD is with us to handle it for us.
Our prayer requests for today are:
Jessica H - friend of Wanda's -UAB ICU
Sandy G - friend of Bonners and Bryants - had heart surg.
Don - injuries from fall
Brandon S and Christine - friends of Jim S
Jane's mother driving today for first time in many weeks
Randy H - fell and also arm infection
Ed S - bro of Horne's BIL - cancers
Travelers
Williamsons of church and friend of many - health issues
Marla W - friend of Gleeda
Lola C - friend of Zo and family
Jack R - Eddie R's bro and children in divorce/custody issues
Jamie D and Jason - children of Mitchell's
Military
Grace C and her family
Our children, grandchildren and our parents
Praises:
New Year of 2012 God has given us!
Military
God is in control! He goes before us!
WITHOUT OUR HELP OR AWARENESS GOD IS ABLE TO PROTECT AND CARE FOR US!
