We do have some Prayer Request and Praise The Lords we want to share with ya'll. 1-Ambers Jarrell has just been admitted into the Bax. Hosp.  He is having some trouble breathing... 2-Ronnie Long is in St. Joseph hosp in Sav. His leg is swollen and infected again - He sure needs our prayers. 3-Reuben Holcomb has been very sick with whatever is going around. He is at home. 4-Michael Patrick (Who is Wilbur Murry's Son-in-law, and has attended our church several times) his father was found to have several spots of cancer this last week.  The cancer has been found in several different places. The expectations are not looking good right now. 5-Tonight is "Cosmic Volley Ball" for our youth.  That is always a big event for our kids and youth workers.  Please pray for them today, and help get any kids you can here tonight... 6-Rodney Herndon says he is doing better and that his leg is not hurting like it was.  But he still has a long way to go.  Keep praying for him. 7-Let's keep the Reese family in our prayers. 8-Reb & Wanda Mabry's son (Danny Bunkly) had his mobile home to burn last week, he lives out back of Reb & Wanda's home on Herrington Rd.  We are trying to see what we can do to help, he already has another mobile home on the way, it will be here in about a week or two.  Hopfully at that time we will be able to offer some type of ministry to him.  Keep them in your prayers, I am sure that many of you know just how trying a time like this can be for them. 9-After looking at our SS records Bro. Fred, Bro. Glen Stone and I see a NEED for at least three new SS teachers.  Please join us in praying that God will guide us as a church so that He will be Glorified and we will be better students of His Word.  (The teachers we need are in classes that will range from the 3rd grade to and through high school.) 10-Our Awana has been doing GREAT, and it is a blessing to see so many kids at church on Wednesday evening.  But with the increase in numbers of kids comes an increase in need for the number of adults to help minister to those kids.  Angela Morris says she NEEDS some more "listeners"  there is not a lot of work to be done except during the awana class time.  (being a listener as the kids quote their memory verses.) Pray about it and see if God wants YOU to be a part of this GREAT work! *Did you know that last Sunday morning we had 31 people in our worship service who were not members of Mt. Vernon Baptist Church?  Do you know who any of them were?  If so I trust that you will do your part in letting them know that we enjoy having them with us, and invite them back!!! *I am sure that you join me in saying "Praise The Lord" for the decision of Andy and Andrew Boatright, as they joined Mt. Vernon last Sunday morning.  AMEN & AMEN! - MARK IT DOWN!  March 16th we will have a dedication of our newly finished Office Space, SS Rooms, Choir Room & Nursery!  Thank You Lord!!!

Ambers Jarrel is not doing well, they have found some spots and are going to have to address those spots, but he has other problems that are more pressing.  He has something wrong with his neck and breathing passage-ways.  There is some sort of blockage and it seems that they will be going in through his nose tomorrow to seek to remove the blockage.  He is very swollen and having a lot of trouble breathing. Please keep them in your prayers. 2nd, Bro. Ronnie Long is looking better and today he was hoping to get to come home soon.  He still needs our prayers and will continue too. 3rd- Mrs. Annie Merle Bowers has had a heart-attack, but the doctors say it was a mild one, she may get to come home tomorrow.  At her age she has to be very careful.  I know Glenn & Sherri want us to keep them in our prayers. 4th - My wife has been in a lot of pain for several days now, she has even had a "migraine headache" each day for the last 5 days!  She had blood work done this morning and her blood work showed her blood was way to thin!!! (a month ago it was way to thick) I'll be taking her to her doctor in Warner Robins in the morning.  Please pray for her. 5th- Dr. Graham and his wife have set up their son's surgery for April 1st in Atlanta.  Their son Kaden and his sisters do not yet know about this surgery so please be careful and not talk about it around their kids. Dr. Graham has decided he will just wait on his knee surgery.  They sure need our prayers. 6th - Vicki Beck's mother in law is very low and they desire our prayers. 7th - One more need that I hope you will pray for us about.  "CHURCH WORKERS" We need some Awana "Listeners", if you could give of your time and help Angela Morris on Wednesday evenings by just being willing to listen as our kids memorize and quote their verses, JUST 2 HOURS OF TIME. OR If you would be willing to pray about helping teach some Sunday School classes.  We NEED a teacher for either the 3rd & 4th grade class OR for the 5th & 6th grade class.  We also need a Youth girls class teacher. Pray about it or for us as we seek help in these classes. *Sunday was another great day at church.  We once again had a great crowd of visitors, we had "30" in church yesterday morning who are not members of Mt. Vernon.  Amen & Amen  If you know any of those visitors I trust you will be thanking them for coming and encouraging them to come again... *Don't forget March 9th will be TIME CHANGE DAY.  I know, I know.  We lose an hour of sleep!  But don't you let a little thing like that stop you from being on time to God's House!!! *Don't forget March 16th we will have our Dedication of our newly finished rooms.  (Nursery, Choir, Sunday School rooms & Office space) This will be during the morning service. *I KNOW you will not forget that this year EASTER comes on March 23rd!  Sunrise Service, (at sunrise) & church wide breakfast, as we celebrate the greatest victory ever won!  Death is defeated & Jesus is Alive! I'll be looking for you at church. Til He Comes Bro. Darrell
