Oops! Schedule Change...

What do we always say when we publish our schedule in the Newsletter?


All These Dates Are Subject to Change (Like Maybe Tomorrow)For Our Full Schedule Please Check Our Website www.davykellyandodie.com

Well, as often happens, we send out the Newsletter and the schedule does just that... it changes!


We knew this change was a possibility but we couldn't wait any longer to get the newsletter out. Since this change falls within the next month I felt like I should make folks aware of it just in case somebody wanted to visit revival.


We will also be doing a singing on January 28th in the Tulsa/Broken Arrow area for Bro. Rich along with the Crafton Trio from Joplin, Missouri. The location has not been determined yet so call closer to the date for more info. I will try to update the information on the blog when it becomes available.


God bless you all...
Davy


These are the changed dates...


· January 22-27Weir, KS, Faith Tabernacle, Pastor James Fellers  
· January 29-February 3 Broken Arrow, OK, South Mission, Pastor Leon Rich

Bro. Ray Driscoll

Our Dear Friend Bro. Ray Driscoll


I have known Bro. Ray and Sis. Beulah Driscoll all of my life. For many years they attended the church I was raised in and some of my earliest memories include Bro. Ray, Sis. Beulah and their family. They have been Godly examples to me and countless others. They were always kind, gentle and good. They set a great example of faithfulness, loyalty and prayer and loved going to the house of God. They also personally encouraged Kelly Jo and I at crucial times in our life experiences and we will never forget it.

Bro. Ray has always been playful and in the picture above taken at Dryden Rd. Campmeeting in 2007 you can see his mischievous smile. He loved to pick on Kelly Jo. He would call her "trouble" when she told him often she was going to sit on the front row with him. That is probably the conversation that preceded the picture above and the cause of the smile. He lived fully, loved well and laughed often.

Bro. Ray has struggled with his health for several years but he and Sis. Beulah kept right on going to church, revivals and campmeetings. Bro. Ray insisted on going to church the Tuesday night before Thanksgiving at Dryden Road. The following day Bro. Ray loss the use of his legs and was confined to bed. I know he was glad he went to church on his last opportunity. Friday morning December 16th about 7:00 in the morning Bro. Ray left Sis. Beulah and made his way HOME.

Bro. Ray and Sis. Beulah have a beautiful family. Please pray for them today, tomorrow during the funeral, over the holidays and then beyond. They certainly need the comfort and help of God right now.

Bro. Ray loved to worship the Lord, dance in the Spirit, leap for joy, read from the Psalms and pray with others in the altar. He absolutely loved church service and being in the presence of the Lord. There is no doubt that Bro. Ray is happy and joyful in the God's presence now. 

We loved Bro. Ray dearly and we miss him already.

Schedule - Ready to Roll Out!

Well, Christmas is a week away but Christmas vacation is over. We went to our home church this morning and preached in Hillsboro, Ohio tonight. 

We have a funeral visitation tomorrow evening and then Christmas dinner with one of my brothers afterward. (Definitely a blog in the making in that dinner) 

We have a funeral Tuesday morning then preaching in Indiana Tuesday night. 

We are preaching in Kentucky Wednesday and north Dayton Thursday. 

We have Christmas dinner with Kelly Jo's family Saturday and my family Sunday. I am supposed to preach at home church Sunday morning and then our church starts revival Monday night. 

We will attend Monday and possibly Tuesday of that and then head to Oklahoma to start our next revival. 

Whew! It sure feels good to be getting back into the swing of things.

I received this in a text message a few days ago and knew that I had to pass it on...
