MONDAY, 9/2/13
Today marks the 27th anniversary of Lisa’s brother, Michael, passing from this life as an 18 year old young man. It seems like an eternity ago on one hand and like yesterday on the other. Just three short years later, Dub Ladnier would pass on the same date. Dub & Michael were good friends and it was ironic to me that they passed on the same day. So many memories.
We saw three students make public professions of faith in the second morning service yesterday. They had accepted Jesus as their personal Savior last Wednesday night. We praise God for these decisions.
Our attendance was down some yesterday morning but we still remained over 400 in worship. I appreciate the members of the Friendship family being faithful.
We had 140 (+/-) in our service last night which is about what I expected. Marisa and the others did a great job of hosting the fellowship. John Milton & Blo Joe did an excellent job of cooking. You did a wonderful job of providing the sides and desserts. Randall, Lynda, & Rita did a great job of leading our musical worship. Jim Chinners is to be thanked for running the sound. It was a good evening of fellowship. It was good to have Sara Nell Moulds in the evening service.
The monthly men’s breakfast takes place this Saturday, 9/7/ beginning at 7:00AM in the fellowship hall. All men are invited to attend. Questions? Contact Jim Chinners or Jeff Holifield.
There will be a baby shower for Summer McGriff this Sunday, 9/8, from 2:00 – 3:30PM in the fellowship hall. All ladies are invited to attend.
There will be a wedding shower for Austin Jackson & Nicole Clark on Tuesday evening, 9/10, from 6:30 – 8:00PM. This will take place at our house. Katelyn Jackson is in charge so if you have questions contact her. Everyone is invited. I think they are registered at Tide Marine.
The church office is closed today. It will be open tomorrow at 8:00AM.
I pray that you will have a great Monday with Jesus.
