As you pray today I ask that you call Dr. Keith Thomas’ name to the Father. Keith is pastor of Cottage Hill Baptist Church in Mobile. He was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He is in Houston this morning at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center having surgery. It is scheduled for 8 a.m. Keith and Karen have been dear friends to Liz and me since seminary days in Texas. I ask you to join me in intercession for him and his healing.

On Wednesday evening of this week I am meeting with the 2020 Implementation Team. We have big-time decisions to consider. Pray for us as we convene at 7 p.m. The ministry village is first priority for us. That is what came from the 2020 Vision Plan. We will also have the privilege of dealing with other important items and issues that have surfaced. Truly, God has a plan and we are discovering His revelation.

Over lunch on Monday, Chairman Steve Harrod had a burdened heart. He said to me, “Pastor, we must get this right.” We understand the next generation will be forced to deal with choices we make. If we get it right the journey will be one of victory. If we miss God then a big price will be paid now and in years to come. I rejoice to have great lay leadership at Olive. Together we will get it right and get it done!

Don’t forget we have one service the next two Sundays at 10 a.m. It will be exciting to hunt parking and seating. Come early and stay late. Church will be wonderful!

Pastor Ted Traylor
