SPECIAL PRAYER REQUEST

Tom Compagner called around noon today to tell me that Dan Van Vels passed away this morning.  I realize that most of the members of the Friendship family did not know Dan but he & his wife, Gloria, are faithful participants/supporters of GRACE Ministries.  They were signed up for the February 2011 GRACE trip.  Dan would have been 60 years old on September 15.

Pray for Gloria and the family as they walk through this valley.  My heart hurts for them.  Our loss is heaven’s gain but death sure stings!

MONDAY, 8/16/10

Wow, we had a really blessed day in our services yesterday.  First, I want to say a huge “thank you” to each member of the Friendship family who attended the 2:00PM service.  What an encouragement!  Our goal has been to have 25 folks in that service and yesterday saw us have 27 Spanish folks with 3 of them following the Lord in believer’s baptism – praise the Lord!  Again, I thank those who work in this ministry week after week.  Thanks to Bro. Benny & Bro. Dale for the pinatas.

It was a joy to see Chad Blakeney join the Friendship family by transfer of letter during our 10:30AM service.  The torrential rains probably kept some folks at home last night but we still had a nice attendance.  Thank God for folks who are faithful!

Larry Blackwell will have surgery this morning.  Roy Blodgett will see the doctor this week as they begin to map out a plan of action to treat his cancer.  Shawn Felps continues to recover from his surgery.  We still have a number of folks battling cancer.  Pray without ceasing.

I give the Lord thanks for blessing Pastor Jack Bailey and the folks at Danville Baptist with their annual block party this past Saturday night.  It is my understanding that they had a blessed time of ministry.

Friendship family – now (August) is the time to sign up for a Summer 2011 GRACE trip.  Sign up sheets are in the foyer of the auditorium.

“Potluck with the Pastor” takes place this Wednesday, 8/18, at 11:00AM.  You bring the vegetables!

Speaking of eating, it is corn beef hash day at the Lighthouse so you can (Lord willing) find me there during the lunch hour.

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