The next two weeks' Pastors' Breakfasts are "Miss Nots" as Donna Cooper brings a report from Christian Women's Job Corp next week and introduces a guest with resources from our very own community college system. On the following week, Phil Ensley will challenge us with the work and opportunities of hospice.
All meetings are from 8:00 AM - 9:30 AM at Country Waffles on the west side of Blackstone between Ashlan and Dakota.
On a personal note, prayers are appreciated for my (Tom Sims') family as we are dealing with issues of our grandchildren being removed from their mothers' home and, consequently, from us for the time being. CPS is trying to fast track the approval process for them to be placed with us in foster care since there is no clear, legally established relationship. One of the boys is our grandson through our son, but he was in the process of trying to prove parentage when this happened. The other is simply our grandson through love and mutual choice. We have been raising them half of the week for quite a while and are very anxious about their well being. The good part is that they have been removed from a dangerous environment and a young couple is being compelled to get some help that they really need. There is also a little baby girl involved who is only a few weeks old with whom we have no real relationship, b ut much concern. Her name is Adriana and she needs our prayers along with Kaibian and Elijah.
Thank you so much for praying with us.
I am in Virginia at the moment, having performed a wedding in which my mother was the bride. I will return tomorrow night.
If you have any prayer requests, please let us know. We pray all the time for each other, but every fourth Tuesday at our Pastor's Breakfast, we have a special, focused time of prayer for pastors and churches in our Association.
Let me add my congratulations to my friend, Johnny Mendez for his recent award as an outstanding leader in our community. well done, brother.
- Tom Sims
