The visitation with Edd, Sandy, Braxton & family will take place tomorrow night, 3/9, from 6:00 – 9:00PM in the church auditorium. 

The funeral service for Britan will take place at 2:00PM on Wednesday, 3/10, preceded by an hour of visitation.  This service will also take place in the church auditorium. 

Please continue to pray for the Gillespie family.

We had a blessed day in all four of our services yesterday.  God is so faithful!  I appreciate Bro. Robbie challenging us last night to not “miss any chariots” along the way.  I have in days gone by and perhaps you have too.  Run after a chariot today and share Jesus! 

Bobby Jack Felps came home from the hospital on Saturday – wow!  Jayne English remains in the same hospital as they work through the insurance situation.  Gage Hudson, Pattie Suthoff’s grandson, remains hospitalized and they are supposed to get the biopsy results tomorrow.  Bill Abendroth is going to begin his cancer treatments soon.  Steve Morris continues to recover at home from his surgery.  Carla Kyser & Miss Joyce Bosarge continue their respective battles against cancer.  Susan Quinn, Edwin & Eula Mae’s oldest daughter, will have surgery this Friday, 3/12, to remove the tumor from her chest cavity.  Pastor Jack Bailey’s mother is seemingly near death’s door so pray for her and the family. 

I will go this morning with Edd & Sandy Gillespie to the funeral home to finalize the arrangements for Britan’s service.  I will be posting them here probably shortly after noon today.  Keep praying for Edd, Sandy, Braxton, & the entire family.

Folks who are helping with the food for the Gillespie family are asked to have it in the fellowship hall two hours prior to the service time. 

Two really important things for this week – the MBI Chorale will be with us this Friday, 3/12, at 7:00PM.  We need a good attendance.  We will receive a love offering for their ministry. 

Time changes this Sunday, 3/14, at 2:00AM.  So, “spring forward” before going to bed on Saturday.  Don’t forget! 

Tony Hacker and our CAB renovation committee continue to move forward with phase one.  They will be working tonight at 5:00PM doing some building.  Sammy Bowden is leading the electrical work and will be working between now & Wednesday morning as the sheetrock crew arrives then. 

These are blessed days within the Friendship family.  Thank you for being faithful! 

I pray that you will have a great Monday with Jesus.
