For your presence. We know that there are many who were not able to be out this morning because of the weather, but we are glad that you Were determined to be here. And that it was of such a nature that you were able to be here as well. Before we get into the lesson, ask you to be remembering brother, Larry Turner. He is under the weather. He’s not feeling good. And sister Carolyn called last night to let us know that he would not be able to be here. So we certainly want to remember him in our prayers, as well as all the others that we’ve been making mention of. It’s good to have with us, our middle son, Nathan, with us this morning, whom most all of you are very well familiar with. He came down yesterday in order to get a load of wood to take back. Cause his woodpile is diminishing and with the weather predictions, the way that they were, and the fact that his wife and daughters are passing around all kinds of crud, his wife said, why don’t you just stay down there until Monday? Of course, that was after he got down here. He wasn’t planning to stay. He was going back last night. So anyway, he’s going to stay til Monday. And because of that, I thought, well, this would be a good opportunity to let him preach. So he’s going to plan to preach for us tonight …

Certainly grateful for your attendance this evening. And a couple of announcements that we need to make before we get started in our lesson. One is a reminder that the ladies are planning to meet, to discuss concerning the meal for Tuesday after our worship this evening. And what down here, Linda, where are you wanting to meet Down front? Okay. So don’t forget that men were going to need some help in moving some furniture, especially the Lord’s table out of the way, get that out of the way and this stuff over here. So we could use a couple of hands with that. And if you can help with that, we would greatly appreciate it. I didn’t write all this stuff down. I knew, I remember it seems like there was one other thing. Pardon? Oh yeah. If you have pillows or something in the Pew, you may want to go ahead into move those someplace else. I don’t know because I wasn’t here, but I understand with Vivian’s funeral that was here, there were like over 500 people that came through for the visitation. So we’re gonna need all the seating capacity that we can have for those that are going to stick around. Yes, Richard, I think that’s been done. I think so in order to make use of all the chairs, but also get as much eating space that’s available because again, last year or with Vivian’s funeral, which was not here, but I understand …

This, this, we want you to know that we’re honored by your visit and hope that you will fill out one of the visitors cards that you should find on the back of the Pew in front of you. If you’ll leave that on the Pew, when you leave, we’ll collect those after our worship is over so that we can ever record of your visit. Speaking concerning visitors. We have the Shelton’s with us this morning from Porsche Arkansas, and they are on their way to Springfield. I understand in order to celebrate their 51st wedding anniversary. So we are certainly grateful that they have decided to stop by here on their way. Also, we, again want to express our sympathy to the Turner family brother, Carl having passed away Friday afternoon. And as we’ve already announced, the visitation is going to be tomorrow evening here at the building from six until eight. And then the funeral will be Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock here at the building, and we will be providing a meal for the family and any friends that decide they want to stay after the funeral. And the burial has taken place. And along those lines, Cheryl gave me an announcement. There will be a meal served for the Turner family. Ladies are working on the plans that will be discussed tonight. Those who are not going to be here tonight will be called. So you won’t be left out, but just so that, you …

And we do know that there are Some who could not make it because of the weather being concerned about the ISIS. We also know that there are some who are not here Because of illness. And certainly we want to Remember those that we’ve made mention in the bulletin concerning, but also a sister. Barb is not with us this morning because she is not Doing well. And of course, Bonnie has been out for last several weeks because of a fall and Ruby’s not feeling well and Lois is not feeling well. And there’s Several others that we could put on that list as well. But we certainly are gret glad that you’re able to be here Because of that. I’ve called another audible. Those of you Who weren’t here, able to be here last week, didn’t get the inside joke. But anyway, I called an audible last week because we’ve been studying series of lessons concerning worship, but with there being so few that were able to be here last week, I decided to preach on something different. And I’m going to do that again this week as well. I want to suspend our time this morning, thinking about the adequate man, the adequate man, when you look up the word adequate and Webster’s dictionary, …

Certainly glad you were able to be here tonight. Some of you are here tonight because, or you were not able to be here this morning because of the weather. And even though it’s not great tonight, you ventured out anyway. And we certainly appreciate that. We’re not going to use the PowerPoint again tonight because we are having problems with the projector talking with, or listening to my computer. No, actually one of the cables that we have has a short in it evidently. And so it’s not able to keep the connection. And so that was the problem we were having this morning. We had it last week as well, but Sunday night it worked fine. Well, tonight it’s not even going to attempt to do that. So we’re just going to have to bypass that told you this morning, that if you wanted to read to be ready for the lesson tonight, that you needed to read acts chapter four, verses 23, through the end of the chapter. I want us to use this chapter to speak concerning the value of fellowship, the value of fellowship. Before we begin reading in verse 23 and go through the end of the chapter. I want us to get a background concerning what’s taking place here. The background for chapter four verses 23 through the end of the chapter actually starts at the beginning of chapter three. When you go back to chapter three, first 11 verses gives us the …
