Elijah Tate Bryant, son of Kyle & Sueanna Bryant, made his entrance into this world this afternoon, 7/8, at 5:36PM.  He came in weighing 7 pounds 12 ounces and is 21 inches long.  He was born via c-section and mother & son are doing fine.  His big brother is Jameson.  Proud grandparents are Morris & Diane Bryant.  Welcome Elijah Tate!

Planking is something that the pastor, staff, and leadership of Friendship Baptist Church do not condone, encourage, promote, et cetera.  As a matter of fact, we strongly discourage and disapprove of doing things, planking or otherwise, that are illegal i.e. trespassing, being disrespectful to other folks and/or their property, et cetera.  Questions/comments?  Feel free to contact me personally.  I would rather not use this page to take your comments pro or con.   Thanks!

Our students will be going to the Baybears game tonight.  Bro. Chris will throw out the first pitch (ball) and Jennifer Kelley will sign the national anthem.  You would need to contact Bro. Chris for the details.

Our Sunday night service is going to be different – again!  This time it will feature the college ministry of Hurley Baptist Church where Wade Ivey is the pastor.  They will be doing drama.  I am told that several members of this group have parents who work at Chevron.  I am also told by Francine Ivey and others that the message presented by this ministry is powerful.  I encourage you to attend this service.  If it goes well, you can applaud Bro. Chris.  If it does not go well, you can blame me!  I am believing it will go well!

The events in Grand Rapids yesterday were sad.  Because of GRACE Ministries, Lisa & I know several folks who live/work in GR and we have been downtown many times.  Pray for the families affected by the events of yesterday.

Speaking of GRACE, Bro. Johnny Tucker’s team arrived safely yesterday.  Pray that they will have a great week of ministry.

It is early in the morning and I am about to hit Walmart before hitting the Gulf.  No red snapper is safe today!  I pray that you will have a great Friday with Jesus.  Hope to see many members of the Friendship family in our services this Sunday!
