Chris Cavin’s paternal grandmother passed away very unexpectedly this morning (Wednesday) in Woodville, Mississippi.  She was preparing the ingredients for a pecan pie and suffered a massive heart attack.  The visitation will take place on Friday night followed by the funeral service on Saturday morning.  Pray for the Cavin family.

The church office will close at noon today and will be closed tomorrow for the Thanksgiving holiday.  As usual, the church office will not be open on Friday.  We will be open on Monday, 11/28, at 8:00AM.

If an emergency arises, please call me at home.  (If it is during office hours call me.  If it is like 2:00AM in the morning, call Bro. Jerry!  LOL!)

Visited with Bobby Stork in his mother’s ICU room yesterday afternoon.  Miss Stork continues to decline physically and the doctors do not believe there is any more they can do to help her.  Keep praying!

Also visited with Xavier Blackwell.  His mother, Amanda, says the doctor hopes he can gain some weight but will most likely need surgery soon regardless of his weight.  If surgery takes place, it will be in Birmingham.  Pray for Xavier and for the doctors to have wisdom regarding his situation.

Attended the funeral service for Larry Barnes’ father yesterday.  Larry’s sister also lost her husband over the weekend and that funeral service will take place today.  Pray for the Barnes family.

Herbert Benefield’s sister fell and broke her shoulder.  She is in a local hospital.  She will have surgery this morning.  Pray for her as she goes through surgery and the recovery.

Carla Kyser should be receiving another treatment today.  As far as I know, Chuck Rockwell and Earl Gunter are still receiving their respective radiation treatments.  Pray for these folks.

There are no services/activities at Friendship today/tonight.  We are on a regular schedule for this Sunday, 11/27.  Lord willing, I will be in all four services.

More than likely, I will not post again until Monday, 11/28.  I pray that you will have a Happy Thanksgiving day and a blessed weekend.  I pray that the members of the Friendship family who are in town will be in their rightful places this Sunday.  Thank you for being faithful!
