First, the arrangements have been made for Heather’s funeral:  the family will receive friends from 6-8 Thursday night and the funeral will follow at 8.  Heather will be buried Friday at 11 at Phillips Cemetery in New River.

Herbie’s sisters are still in critical condition though the older is doing well, talking, and improving.  The younger, on the other hand, is not doing quite so well.  Please continue to pray for all involved in these two tragic accidents.

Please be in prayer today and for the next little while for Heather’s family. She was killed this morning in a single car accident.  [Originally posted at 7 am on Tuesday].

WATE TV 6 has a few more details and points out that not only was Heather killed this morning, but the sisters of our own Herbie Morris were critically injured in another accident.

Heather’s family will make funeral arrangements tomorrow (Wednesday) and I will post them when they become available.

Herbie’s sisters have both undergone surgery and will hopefully recover, though it is too early at this point to be sure.  Pray for him, and them.

The wedding of Larry and Shirley this afternoon went off quite smoothly and nicely, with a good crowd of family.  Here are some pictures so take a look.  And click to enlarge:

Last night was the VBS workers picnic- the official conclusion to the VBS “season”.  We had a great time and here are a few photos (of many taken):

If you didn’t work in VBS this year, make plans to do so next.  It’s a great opportunity to share the Gospel with the community.

I mentioned the other day that we had to conduct the funeral of a young man killed in Iraq.  Below are some of the photos I took while we were over there: his mom and dad, the Church, and the awards he received posthumously.  Please do continue to pray for Christopher’s family as the loss they have endured is profound.

A Church I served in North Carolina and a family in that Church we love has suffered the loss of their son in Iraq. Please pray for the Johnsons. I remember when that young man was just learning to swim, attending Sunday School, excited about VBS, coming to Christ, and facing a bright future. Sorrow is the only word that fits. The funeral will be difficult, to say the least.

Trey D. is once again hosting a School of Singing.  This time at Union Baptist, June 25-29 (excluding Wednesday night), from 7-9 pm.  If you want to attend, please call Trey by June 20th.  It’s free!  And a lot of fun!

Here she is, in her costume for the ‘day job’.  We thought you would enjoy seeing it.  Her cousins visited the park and took this photo last week.  As always, click to enlarge.

VBS finished up last night and it was a great week.  Here are some photos.  Remember, commencement is at 7 on Sunday night.

The fourth day of VBS has come and gone.  Here are a couple of photos- and there are more on the slide presentation- which you will be able to see when you come Sunday Night to Commencement.
