Good morning on this first Saturday of November. It was forty years ago on the second Sunday of November that I officially began my duties as the new pastor of the Edgewood Baptist Church. Barb and I arrived with our six-month old baby, Lori, and settled into the parsonage as our new home. My what changes God has wrought during these intervening years to our church, our family, and our lives. Although my anniversary will fall on November 9th this year, we are having the anniversary dinner and program at 6:00 pm on Sunday, November 23rd to better accommodate the scheduling of activities. Please plan on joining us for this special evening. You may sign up on the sign-up sheet posted on the bulletin board in the south corridor to reserve your place. The dinner and entire program will be held in the multi-purpose center that evening.
Many of you have been asking about Barb's mom knowing that she experienced cardiac arrest for the third time last summer. She has had an amazing recovery and is now living once again in her own home after completing her stint in rehab. We are hearing that she is stronger now than she has been in some time and will be celebrating her 94th birthday this month - an amazing feat given all that she has been through!
Tomorrow's sermon is about prevailing prayer and will focus on getting our prayers answered. I hope I'll be seeing you in the services.
Mel Brown
