Saturday turned out to be a great day for the starting of the remodeling of Dozier Freewill Baptist Church. Wayne and Debbie Walker had breakfast ready for the crew when everyone arrived. The women cleaned the inside of the chapel while the men moved a structure to make way for the real work to began. The church has extreme termite damage and it would cost more to repair it than to just tear it down and start over with a structure that will last. The church is asking for any donations. If you have something you would be willing to donate for them to sell to make money or if you would like to make a cash donation please contact Brother Rockey Pearce at 334-527-3197. If you would like to help in the remodeling please call Brother Rockey. There is going to be a lot of work and they can use all the help they can get. Brother Rockey asks that everyone please keep this church in your prayers.

Thank God no one got hurt last Saturday and the weather cooperated.

Please continue to pray for our community, our military, our government and the world. So many have lost family members, homes and jobs. I am sure they feel as though their faith is being tested so please let's remember themin our prayers.

I was so sorry to hear of the loss of Mrs

Layton. She was just the sweetest person. My mother was in her Sunday school class at one time Mrs Layton would come by the store to visit with her. After we started at a new church she would still come by and ask about mom. Kindness and a gentle heart. That's how I will always remember her.

Until next time please pray for me and I'll pray for you.
