FRIDAY, 3/9
The Lord has blessed and we have had a good week. Thankfully, we have no one from the Friendship family in the hospital right now and that is a good thing. We are still praying for several folks battling cancer with the most serious of those seemingly being Alisia Crawley’s mother, Mary Burkholder. Mrs. Burkholder is under hospice care and certainly needs our continued prayers. Also, please continue to pray for Carla Kyser, Judy Ziglar, and Mike Blaylock as they go through their respective treatments.
Our interim missionaries in residence, Derrick & Jodie Wilkerson, have begun a blog which includes updates and pictures. You can see this at www.derrickandjodie.blogspot.com. This will be a good way to keep up with them until their assignment with us ends on August 21, 2007. Please continue to pray for them too.
Speaking of Guatemala, Jerrod Brown, campus minister at the University of South Alabama, leaves tomorrow, 3/10, with a team of USA students to spend a week doing ministry in Guatemala. Their home base will be the L.G. Camp, Jr. mission house and they will be working alongside Derrick & Jodie. Pray for them!
We will have a work day tomorrow, 3/10, beginning at 8:00AM and ending at noon. We need to do much in getting our buildings/grounds ready for the Spring. All available members of the Friendship family are encouraged to help us in this effort. Bring your tools and equipment!
Bobby Crawley & Deidra Ramires will become one as they will be united in marriage tomorrow night, 3/10. Pray for them as they begin their new life together.
Spring forward is the theme for this weekend as time changes. This is my least favorite Sunday of the year as folks tend to forget to set their clocks forward on Saturday night thus missing church the next day. Please don’t forget and I hope to see you this Sunday. Remember, hope is alive!
