No Hope Group this week.

How about a Potluck Supper on July 11th at our house? Have some card tables and chairs we could use? Could you contribute some paper goods? What do you think? A theme? A "leave it up to chance" kind of affair? Thoughts?

United in Baptism

Ephesians 4:4-6

We are all one body, we have the same Spirit, and we have all been called to the same glorious future. There is only one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and there is only one God and Father, who is over us all and in us all and living through us all.

Praise God for our glorious futures!

Hope Group Baptisms and Pool Party!

Please join us this Wednesday, June 20th to celebrate the sacrament of baptism!

Bring your bathing suits and pool toys and we'll all take the dip afterwards!

Copperfield Pool, 7-9 p.m. (Look for the pool on your right as you come into the neighborhood -- it's before you get to Sam Houston Elementary)

We received this e-mail from Mark Henry... just passing the information along in case someone in our group might be able to help with this need.

The children’s ministry is currently in great need of vehicles (and possibly drivers) to transport children to pre-teen camp. Approximately 61 children and adults will be going and we currently have room for 36. Please email this need to your HOPE group – we will need transportation on Monday the 25th and Thursday the 28th. It’s about a 3 hour drive. Have them contact Mark Henry at mhenry@tamu.edu if they can help.

Meet & Eat Wednesday

Time to meet again. We're planning on meeting for dinner on Wednesday at 6:45 -- The Feed Barn. If you've never been to the Feed Barn, they've got great burgers, chicken fried steaks, catfish, steaks, chicken, etc. Prices are very reasonable! They have a "meeting room" I'll try to reserve for us... If you have no idea how to find the Feed Barn, the address to "mapquest" is 2017 Fountain Drive, Bryan, Texas 77801, or give us a call and we'll get you there! Let me know you've got the details and I won't call you with all of this info. again! Hope to see you all there!

Update

Talked to Carla this morning. The fracture is at L1 and not C1 -- so lower back, not neck. Jeremy's pain is a little better controlled with the back brace on but he is still in pain when he moves around. Pain medication he was given in the ER kept him (them) up last night with nausea and vomitting, so let's pray that passes quickly and his pain can be controlled without the side-effects. Also pray for their rest!

Keep your eyes and ears open -- we may be able to help them out by providing some meals, but they are covered tonight.

Pray for Carla who is pregnant -- this is all a lot for her to deal with. Praises though -- Jeremy is doing alright, he will be alright and no one else was hurt!

Update on Jeremy

I think I was able to talk to everyone and/or leave a message to let you know that Jeremy Hilland needs our prayers. Jeremy was in a single vehicle accident this morning and after a long wait in the emergency room was diagnosed with a compression fracture of his C1 vertebrae (upper neck). Jeremy has been in a considerable amount of pain throughout the day, but once he was fitted with a brace, his pain was somewhat better. He will need our continued prayers as the treatment for this type of injury is limited and he will most likely continue to have pain and discomfort as he recovers. I'll keep everyone posted -- I'll be in contact with Carla tomorrow and perhaps we can organize some meals or some other way to help their family...
