Today’s Bible reading – Leviticus 22:17-23:44 Mark 9:30-10:12 Psalm 44:1-8 Proverbs 10:19

Max Peacock had a double by pass and a valve replaced.  He is in CCU and will most likely remain in the hospital for four or five days.  We had several folks, led by Bro. Jerry Hovel, from the Friendship family present at the hospital during the surgery and I appreciate each of them for ministering to this family.

I will post another entry with the information regarding Sarah Thornton’s brother’s service.

Regular schedule tomorrow morning and evening.  Lord willing, I will be preaching in all three of the worship services.  I hope to be joined by many members of the Friendship family along with many guests.

We will observe the ordinance of baptism as part of our evening worship at 6:00PM.

February 2015 is gone in just a few hours – wow!  As we look back on the first two months of this calendar year, how well have you done in being intentional in evangelism, equipping and encouraging?

I pray that you will have a great Saturday with Jesus.
