The arrangements for Mr. Curtis Wilkinson are as follows:  visitation with the family on Thursday, 12/11, at the Zion Assembly Church of God (Schambeau’s building in BLB) beginning at 5:00PM and lasting until.  The funeral service will take place on Friday morning, 12/12, at 10:00AM from the Zion Assembly Church.   

Miss Shirley Hill had surgery on her knee yesterday and remains hospitalized.  She may come home today. Bernard & Patty Suthoff’s grandson, Zach, was admitted to the hospital yesterday too.   Scott Weaver’s father, Walter Weaver, is also in the hospital with a suspected stroke.  Teresa Lara is expected to go home from the hospital today too.  Pray for these folks along with the others who are battling cancer, recovering from surgery, et cetera. 

Raymond Wilkinson and his family will make the arrangements for Mr. Curtis Wilkinson this morning.  I can tell you that Gilmer’s Funeral Home will be handling those arrangements.  Pray for Raymond and his family during this time. 

Yesterday I entered a post about “I Stand For Christmas” and asked you to consider going to www.focusonthefamily.com to sign an e-petition to be sent to five major retailers who have basically refused to acknowledge Christmas in their stores, catalogs, or advertisements.  The goal is 100,000 signatures by tonight.  Lisa and I have signed the petition.  You pray about it and do as God leads you.  It is a small thing but it could produce big results.

Terry Stephan and Breck & Andy Ladd arrived safely at the mission house yesterday afternoon.  They will be meeting with local pastors today to discuss future ministry opportunities.  Pray for them.

We are going to have another meeting about our February ski trip.  This meeting will take place at 6:30PM in my office.  Those young adults who normally attend the 8:00PM Bible study can just meet with me after the Bible study.  We will be taking action on this trip within the next twenty-four hours. 

Today is a special day around the Turrentine house as we celebrate ten years of having twin daughters!  We love Dana & Gina and are so grateful God has given them to us!  Special daughters!  

This is a regular Wednesday for the Friendship family.  I hope you will join us for Bible study and worship.

I pray that you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus!
