DEACON DEWAYNE

I simply forgot this morning to wish Deacon Dewayne Lavelle a happy 28th birthday today.  The day is far spent but I hope you had a good one Dewayne!

MONDAY, 4/7/08

We had another good day in our services yesterday capped by the baptism of Judy Creal in the evening service.  Observing the ordinance of baptism is always a good way to end a Sunday.  Thank God for the increase. 

I learned yesterday that Jack Leasure has been admitted to a local hospital.  I do not know why but do know he was in our service last Wednesday morning.  Greg Boutwell’s brother, David, remains in an ICU.  Tim Burnett’s brother, Eric, was hospitalized Friday night and remains there too.  Rachel Jackson’s father, George Hill, was admitted to the hospital yesterday afternoon with complications from his surgery of last week.  Miss Exie Woods will most likely be brought home at some point this week.  Larry Whitehurst has been sick all weekend and will have a stress time perhaps as early as today.  Tom Russell (Faith Academy) begins another round of chemotherapy this week.  Annie, Eddie & Mary Hall’s friend, has been admitted to the hospital.  Mary’s father, Travis McDonald, has gone home from the convalescent home.  These things should keep your prayer life busy today!

I want to remind the members of the Friendship family about the scholarships for the Guatemalan pastors.  The pastor’s conference isn’t until October 7 – 9, 2008 be we are asking that the scholarships be awarded during this month.  We had several scholarships given Wednesday/yesterday and I anticipate many more this month.  After April, we will ask folks outside the Friendship family to scholarship any remaining pastors as well as help with other expenses related to the conference. 

This should prove to be a busy week as Lisa and I ready for the trip to China.  I am excited to be visiting Eddie & Sue and yet anxious about not being here.  Pray that all will go well as we prepare to leave. 

I want to remind the members of the Friendship family about Bro. Robbie Howard’s 50th anniversary celebration.  There is a service taking place each night this week at 7:00PM at the Helena Baptist Church.  I will be preaching Saturday night and hope many members of the Friendship family will join me for that service. 

Kansas & Memphis play for it all tonight!  I have got to pull for Memphis and it has nothing to do with Michael Taylor or Bret Hart.  It has everything to do with Lindsey Hatcher!  Go Tigers! 

I hope you will have a great Monday with Jesus!
