We also want to congratulate two of our Kindergarten graduates, Emery Hoover and Arrow Isom.

Our family enjoyed a nice family get together this weekend at my sister and brother-in- laws in Marietta. My nephew, Micah and his wife Hannah came down from Tulsa and my great nephews Gavin and Ollie came to visit from Melissa, TX as we all enjoyed visiting while we celebrated birthdays and Mother's Day.
We want to wish Kayelin Kindred a Happy Birthday. When Kayelin was turning 10 years old she and I put our birthday offering in together at church. At that time she asked me if I was also ten years old. I noticed after a couple of years she never asked me again if we were the same age.
We also want to wish Robby Isom a Happy Birthday. Robby will be turning 60 on May 19th. We have also heard rumors the Fire Department has been called out to be on standby when he lights the candles on his birthday cake.
Please keep Willa Mae Isom in your thoughts and prayers as she undergoes medical treatments. We also ask that you continue to keep Leebert Tramble and Alice Hutson in your thoughts and prayers.
We thank you for the prayers for Tammy Arteberry during her recent hip replacement surgery and ask you to continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Tammy is the daughter of Donna Clay.
Please continue to keep Liz page in your thoughts and prayers as she recovers from Covid.
