PRAYER REQUEST - James 5:13-16
Wes Conley – friend, Jackie Barnett is in hospital diagnosed with leukemia and needs our prayers for healing.
George Paden – update on friend, Craig Cooper –1) his radiation treatments seem to be doing all they had hoped, 2) he is a little past half-way through the process at this point, and if all goes well, 3) he should be home mid-December and fully back to work soon after the first of the year. Craig, his wife Betsy, and his mother, still need to be kept in our prayers. They have a deep faith, a young marriage, and a bright future. They are brave and are blessed by what they do not know and are content to take life a day at a time and be grateful for the progress each day hold for them. Thanks for your continued prayers.
Jan Johnson – dad, Robert Essner, is in the hospital. His legs are not working and he cannot walk. Pray for healing and also future decisions.
The Springs! - remember to pray for the work being done at the new Sand Springs location.
Continue to pray for all the men and women serving in the armed forces and law enforcement, and our nation.

VISITORS – Roger & Brenda Blanton – Cecil & Jane Kelley


ANNOUNCEMENTS
CHRISTMAS PARTY
– We had 96 attend last Friday evening’s party at Camp Loughridge. THANK YOU for 1) the wonderful musical performances Shirley Ritchey, Gene Tyree, and Brian Elmore; 2) Sharon Martin for the fun and games and the Christmas Story reading (so many laughs); and 3) Lea Weaver, Sally Taggart, Beverly Allen and, of course, Kirk & Coleta Larkin, Wayne Allen, and Ray Weaver--plus the many others that helped to make the party a success. Party pictures will be ready for you to pick up next Sunday.
Owasso Baptist Homes for Children –Help with School Work Needed – The boys need help with their school work. If you can help out, contact Janice Turner at 943-6686 or 510-3750. Help is especially needed on Mondays, but they welcome help anytime. The boys study hour is from 4:00 - 5:00 PM.

CHRISTMAS ANGEL TREE – We will celebrate Christmas with the boys immediately after the late service Sunday, December 20th with pizza party while the boys unwrap their gifts from the angel tree in Fellowship Hall. If you have not brought your gift back, call Janice Turner.
The Springs! Wes Conley asks for back up help for the technical services on Sunday mornings. Wes said their need is for three volunteers to serve as back up to the Springs Technical team. They would request that the volunteers train with the team for two Sundays and then be on standby should they need help when one of the first team members should be out. There is nothing really technical to learn and any in our group could learn quickly. There is mostly moving, setting up, running cables, and some lifting--but not much. Contact Wes to volunteer at 671-7734.
CARING CENTER NEEDS – Our class voted to adopt a family from the Caring Center to provide their Christmas. Duane Dunham has agreed to coordinate this project. The gifts will be delivered on Saturday, Dec. 19. Also still collecting tooth paste bar soap, cans of green beans and corn for the Caring Center!
