MONDAY, 3/3/08
We had an awesome day in the Lord’s house yesterday and we give God the glory for all He did in our midst! We welcome Andrew Rutherford into the Friendship family by transfer of letter. Last night’s service was great as Pastor Terry Rainey from South Carolina brought the message from God’s Word and we saw twelve folks follow the Lord in believer’s baptism. Amazing!
Bro. Benny took our children on a skating outing yesterday afternoon and one young girl broke one of her arms. She is five years old and they are supposed to place her are in a hard cast today. Bro. Benny did well in taking care of this girl as he went to the hospital to be with the mother during the surgical procedure of setting the arm and so forth. Pray that everything will go well as this young girl’s arm mends.
Rusty Suthoff’s grandfather passed away early Saturday morning and they will have a visitation and funeral service today in Escatawpa, MS with the burial taking place in Philadelphia, MS. Pray for the Smith family.
Pastor Rodney Coleman is having some problems relating to his recent heart surgery and is back in the hospital. Pastor Charles Fields is having heart surgery today. Carla Kyser received another chemo treatment last Tuesday. Vaughn Womack is supposed to receive a new type of treatment beginning today. Pray for these folks!
The lady with the heart condition in Guatemala still has not had the surgery. Supposedly, she is going to be taken to the hospital in Guatemala City today and operated on in a timely fashion. It appears that she needs this surgery immediately so please pray that it can happen today. Louise Mason & Eugene Dighero are doing a great job of helping us in this situation and I appreciate their help.
We have another night of FAITH ministry tonight. I appreciate all the folks who have been participating in FAITH for the past couple of weeks as follow up visits have been taking place. I have an appointment tonight to visit a couple of folks awaiting baptism.
We have a GRACE trip planned for the dates of November 18 -25, 2008. I need to meet with the folks who have signed up for that trip. This meeting will take place immediately following the 7:00PM service this Wednesday. Any, and all, persons interested in being a part of that trip need to attend this meeting.
Shari, let me know if you have any more confirmed names. Bret, got the box of screws – thank you!
I hope that you will have a great Monday with Jesus!
