A Weekeng With Gary and Brenda - March 2010

The brothers four and their wives gathered at Gary and Brenda's home in Lexington, SC for a weekend reunion. We work hard to make sure we stay close. Eddie Mack is still suffering from the headaches caused by the amyloid angiopathy adema. It is a big set of words and it has given him a fit. Keep him in your prayers. We talked about children, grandchildren, vacation plans, and all our aches and pains. Joe and Liz have recently retired and are spending their time between Charlotte and Edisto Beach. Their biggest job now is taking care of grandson Logan on Mondays and Tuesdays. Joyce and Mack are trying to get Mack well. Brenda is taking painting lessons and is doing quite well. Jan and Grayson are aging gracefully. A good time was had and the food was superb.

Friday Morning Men's Prayer Breakfast

Believe it or not, a handful of men at Second Presbyterian Church have been coming to the church on Friday mornings for the last 10 plus years. We gather for breakfast, Bible study and prayer. We support each other during the difficult days and during the days of celebration.
Our numbers have been as low as 3 and as high as 11. We now have 11 gents who come real faithfully. Come on down and join us at 700PM. We would love to see you there.

Through this gate come the old Christian soldiers of Second Presbyterian Church for their Friday morning breakfast and Bible study.
