“Well-done, good and

faithful servant.” Matthew

25:23

God can use you at any

age if you are willing.

Because of age or health

issues, many these days

have realized that they may

no longer be able to be

active in the life and work

of their church. However,

what many of us don’t

realize is they are still hard

at work for the Lord. They

are our prayer warriors.

Even though they may not

always be able to attend

each service at church,

they are ever so faithful to

pray for their church family

and the needs of the

church. May God continue

to bless our “prayer warriors”

as they serve.

Many in our community

and surrounding areas

have lost loved ones

recently. Christian love

and sympathy is extended

to the families and friends

of Jacob Holladay, Glenn

Free, Bobby King,

Dorothy Hill, Clayton

Clemons, James Peck

Glasscock and Bobby

Smith.
