Bro. Sonny Bates will have knee replacement surgery this afternoon. Pray that all will go well during this procedure and that he will recover quickly.
Earl Kirschenman will have valve replacement surgery on his heart on Wednesday morning. Pray that will go well too.
The visitation with the Alice Pigorsch family will take place from 5:00 – 8:00PM tonight at Serenity with a noon service tomorrow. Miss Alice will be buried in the Grand Bay Cemetery. Thank you to Miss Vinnie for coordinating the feeding of the family and to each one who will be helping by providing the food. Please bring the food to the fellowship hall no later than 12:00 noon tomorrow.
Miss Monette Nations is in a local hospital and the doctors are not sure the cause of her problems. She spent one night in ICU but is now in a regular room. Pray for her.
I could write a really lengthy blog about my gratitude for the service last night recognizing my 20 years of service as pastor of the Friendship family. However, I am going to simply say a huge “thank you” for the flowers, gifts, cards, kind words spoken, and every other act of kindness shown to my family and me. I do not deserve such kindnesses but do appreciate them. Friendship folks are the best! Wow, 2o years as pastor and almost 32 years on staff – where does the time go?
Tomorrow, 10/26, marks the beginning of our 40 days of prayer emphasis for revival. Pastor Michael Mason will be with us the dates of Sunday, December 5, through Wednesday, December 8. I will be taking the first day as the “point person” and plan on posting another blog later today/tonight listing the folks who will be “on the point” for the rest of this week. Remember, we all need to pray daily for revival but these folks on the point will be leading the effort on their assigned day.
Congratulations to the Auburn football team on their #1 BCS ranking. I would much rather Alabama be in that spot but Kim French, Scott Fontenot, Ross & Betty Clair Hatcher, and the other three Auburn fans in our church are happy “cam”pers today! The same can be said for my siblings and their families along with Pastor Bob Harvey.
I pray that you will have a great Monday with Jesus.
