MONDAY, 7/8/13
We were blessed with another good day in our services yesterday. Our attendance figures were very close to where they were last Sunday. I commend the members of the Friendship family for their faithfulness in attending the services on these two holiday weekends. We thank God for His continued blessings!
Miss Kittie Camp was absent from our services yesterday and for good reason. The hip she had replaced years ago is giving her problems which will result in her going to the doctor today. It is severe enough that she has given up her spot on the team going to Guatemala later this week. Pray for her.
Bro. Kerry spent some time in the ER this past Saturday night but not because of his recent heart surgery. It is suspected that he is battling kidney stones. Pray for him as well.
I ask the ladies from the Friendship family to remember the baby shower for Chris & Courtney Cavin. It takes place this Saturday, 7/13, from 10:30AM until noon (come and go) at our house. It is a girl! Chris & Courtney are a very, very faithful young couple on Sunday mornings and evenings and Wednesday nights.
Sonny Bates, Jim Chinners, Tony Hacker, Jeff Holifield, Teddy Ray Jackson, TJ Vice, Jerry Whitmore and Raymond Wilkinson have been nominated to serve as a deacon for three years beginning on August 1, 2013. The Friendship family will elect three of these men as a part of the evening service on Sunday, July 28. Consider this matter prayerfully.
Cheryl Woodson was an active member of the Friendship family in years gone by before moving to French Camp, Mississippi. She has been battling cancer for the past two years or so and passed away last week. Her funeral service took place this past Saturday.
Brad’s dad, Gary, and his brother-in-law, Timothy, sent us four of the prettiest tomatoes you will ever see. I am thankful. I think the words “tomato sandwich” are in my vocabulary for today!
Speaking of sandwiches, Louis Reyer told me that his sister eats okra sandwiches! Never heard of that before – have any of our eight readers?
I pray that you will have a great Monday with Jesus.
