THURSDAY, 8/14/08
We had another good Wednesday in our services. Once again, we had a great number in our “college/young professionals” Bible study as there were 38 folks present. Thanks to Soy & Deidra for hosting this event! I was in our senior high Bible study and they had a good number, 34, of students present for that event too. Overall, we had a good attendance in all areas last night and I appreciate the folks who give Wednesdays priority!
This Sunday, 8/17, is the final day to sign up for our AWANA ministry which begins Sunday, 9/7, at 4:30PM. You can call the church office today by 5:00PM or sign up Sunday with a form. If you have questions, please contact Nicole Taylor directly.
Also, we have three more Sundays for members of the Friendship family to sign up for next summer’s GRACE mission trips. The dates for Bro. Jerry’s trip will be Thursday, 7/16, through Thursday, 7/23. The dates for the “college/young professionals” trip will be Thursday, 7/23, through Thursday, 7/30. The other team led by me will go either 6/25 – 7/2 or 7/2 – 7/9 – that date will be firm in a few days. We cannot “assume” that a person is going so please sign up by 8/31.
I need to meet with all of our high school juniors and seniors this Sunday, 8/17, at 5:00PM. This meeting will take place in the parsonage. Juniors & seniors, please be present!
Steve Mayfield’s surgery was postponed until tomorrow. Mary Brown’s sister, Pat Smith, passed away yesterday afternoon and the arrangements are pending. Caroline Ford and Joyce Bosarge are awaiting their respective test results. Carla Kyser & Phyllis Bush are undergoing their respective treatments. Louise Gibson is supposed to be admitted to the hospital today for some testing. My mother-in-law, Ann Clark, is sick and could be admitted to the hospital tomorrow. Brenda Poiroux had a nuclear stress test yesterday. Pray for all of these needs!
I pray that you will have a great Thursday with Jesus.
