–Announcements–
-
- Providence Baptist Church’s A Providence Christmas in Bethlehem December 4-7
- Hickory Cove Bible Camp has had a recent funding shortfall in Phase Two of their Waterfront Vision Plan and needs to raise $8,500 by December 6. If you know anyone who may be interested in making a sizable donation, please contact me. (Context for those not at the workout: a good friend of mine is the Executive Director of this camp and we have been attending various camps and functions there for years. It is a very good program).
–Prayers–
- Continued prayers for Josh’s family, Lilly, Christian, Constitution’s wife Ashley, Boy Scout’s neighbor interested in the Christian faith, and an unspoken prayer request.
–Moleskin–
- Thanks to everyone who came out today to help me kick off my 45th birthday. I didn’t know until the end of the workout that it is also Misfire’s 57th birthday today. Too bad he didn’t let us know earlier so we could have been doing 57 reps instead of 45.
