A community backpack blessing is scheduled Sunday, July 28, at 11 a.m. at Tillatoba Baptist Church.

You do not have to be a member of the church to attend.
Christian love and sympathy is extended to the Wanda Gail Jackson family of Oakland. Gail passed away Friday, July 12, at her home in Oakland. Gail and her late husband, Bo, had opened their hearts and home to dozens throughout the years, creating memories, impressions, and a legacy that will far outlive them both.
Diane Dukes motored to Greenville last week and checked on her sister, Ellen Parker. She went to Hot Tamale Heaven while in Greenville and got seven dozen hot tamales. She said when she fixed supper all they wanted was Mac and cheese and hot tamales. Goodness that sounds good!
I talked to Freda Weir Monday morning by phone and she said Frank was scheduled for knee surgery Wednesday in Oxford. Please add Frank to your prayer list.

Martha Box said, “All I can say is, I’m still here. Still trying to be everywhere instantly.”
She skipped church again Sunday due to tiredness. She also fought off a virus this week. Martha is still able to exercise, building muscle, but reported she found a couple of curves that had been hiding for awhile. She also encourages everyone to pray for our country.
“Friend, let’s encourage all that we know to pray for our United States of America. For the guidance, leadership and support of our leaders . Let us pray for the salvation of all!” she said.
I’m all for that, Martha.
Sheryn Goode went to her doctor in Oxford Tuesday and all went well.

David cooked pork chops, candied yams and green beans. I was ailing and didn’t get to eat with them but later in the afternoon I ate a barbecue.
Deborah McCool, my up-the-road-neighbor says nothing going on this past weekend with her. Her husband, Tommy had to work. Deborah said she did things around the house and at her late dad’s house.
