MONDAY, 3/12
The Lord blessed and we had a good day yesterday in our three worship services, Sunday School, and Discipleship Training. Yes, a look at the figures shows that the time change did negatively affect our attendance in the morning services (especially the second service). The good news is that we will not have to deal with that on the first Sunday in April!
Our ladies are asked to remember that there will be a wedding shower for Kayla Huffstutler, daughter of Kathy Wadkins, this Sunday, 3/18, from 2:00PM until 3:30PM in the fellowship hall.
A big thank you goes to each person who participated in our work day this past Saturday morning. Much was done and we even had folks working around the church buildings and grounds today.
Plans call for us to host one more Spring work day on Saturday, 3/31, from 8:00AM until noon as we ready for Easter weekend. We will have our classes, children’s church, and an eggstravaganza on Saturday, 4/7. So, we need to make certain the area for the egg hunt, et cetera is ready plus we need to do some clean up on the west property now that the house has been removed. Please put this on your calendar and make plans to join us!
Please note that our Easter Sunday morning will consist of three worship services – 7:30AM, 9:00AM, and 10:30AM. We will also have an evening worship service featuring the music ministry of our adult choir at 6:00PM. Please make plans to attend one of the morning services, the evening service, and to bring others with you.
Presently, we have one member of the Friendship family in the hospital – Miss Audrey Brooks. We have three others associated with the Friendship family hospitalized – Neal Barnes (Burney & Jeannine’s son); Judy Ziglar (Jodi Johnson’s mother); and Mickey Howard (Jennifer Jackson’s father). Neal & Judy are battling cancer while Mickey is battling diabetes. Pray for all four of these folks and their families.
Also, I learned from a secret source yesterday that our own Ronnie Owens will have exploratory surgery performed next Wednesday, 3/21. I don’t know all of the details but do ask you to pray for Ronnie as he awaits this procedure.
We have received a little over $2,300 toward our $10,000 goal for the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering for home missions. Please pray and give as the Lord leads to help us reach our own country with the Gospel.
Jerrod Brown, campus minister at USA, is presently leading a group of BCM students and one high school teacher from Canada on a mission trip in Guatemala. They are staying in the L.G. Camp, Jr. house in Chimaltenango. Pray for them.
