Today’s Bible reading – 1 Kings 8:1-66 Acts 7:51-8:13 Psalm 129:1-8 Proverbs 17:1
I continue to hear good things from our Vacation Bible School after the first three days. Pray for today’s evangelistic emphasis.
Eddie Whitmore will begin his chemotherapy treatments today. Pray that they will be effective this time as they were previously.
As it stands right now, Jo Nell Barnes’ daughter will have surgery in Birmingham next week. That still could change.
Evangelist James Messer will be our guest messenger this Sunday, 6/14, in both of our morning worship services. We will receive a love offering to support his ministry. I pray that the Friendship family will be faithful to attend.
Pastor Wes Bates did a nice job of preaching his first funeral service this past Monday and I am now told that Dale Bosarge did likewise yesterday with this father-in-law’s. I am proud of these young ministers.
It is basically 3:00AM and our first wave of folks going on the first GRACE Ministries mission trip of the Summer are leaving for the Gulfport, MS airport. There are eight of them flying out of GPT and two more will be flying from Mobile early this morning and all ten will meet up in Houston, Texas. I am very grateful to Carl Ray Moulds for driving these folks to the Gulfport airport.
Meanwhile, Pastor Keith Martin and nine others from Kennedy Baptist Church will depart from Birmingham, AL early this morning. They will be connecting through Atlanta, GA.
This afternoon, six more will depart from Gulfport, MS courtesy of Bernard Suthoff (thank you Bernard) driving them there. At basically the same time, nine others will depart from Mobile, AL and all fifteen will meet in Houston, TX before arriving in Guatemala City later tonight.
I pray that you will have a great Thursday with Jesus. Pray for our VBS!
