Amy Huhn has been having some physical problems.  She meets with a doctor today.  Up to this point, she has opted to keep things more or less private but sent me an e-mail this morning asking for the Friendship family and others to pray for her.  Will you join me in that prayer?

Speaking of seeing doctors today, I believe Carla Kyser and Eddie Whitmore both do the same today.  Pray for them!

Today’s Bible reading – Nehemiah 7:73-9:21 1 Corinthians 9:1-18 Psalm 33:12-22 Proverbs 21:11-12

Max Peacock was admitted to the hospital yesterday.  Not sure what is going on but do ask that you pray for him.

Bro. Chris and a group of about fourteen others will leave today heading to Danville, Alabama in order to help Dr. Jack Bailey and the fine folks of the Danville Baptist Church family with their Block Party tomorrow night.  Pray for their safety in travel today and tomorrow night.  Bryan Drake will be ministering at the Block Party tomorrow night and then sharing in Danville’s Sunday morning service.  Pray for him and these opportunities.

Lord, send a revival.  Evangelist Wade Morris is set to join us this Sunday, 8/16, at 8:00AM, 10:30AM and 6:00PM.  He is then scheduled to be with us Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights at 6:30PM.  Pray for Bro. Wade.  Pray for the services.

We were blessed with two good revival prayer opportunities last night.  First, a good number of folks came to the auditorium from 6:00 – 7:00PM and then our ladies met at 6:30PM and it is my understanding that they had a meaningful time of praying for revival.  Thank you to each person who prayed.

Our Sunday School class (20 – 29) had a group gather at the house last night to discuss our strengths, our weaknesses, and our ministry opportunities as a class.  Productive meeting.  We are committed to having a team at GROW visitation each Monday night beginning August 24.  We plan to host the service for the men from the Mission of Hope on 8/28, host the services for McKemie Place the first Tuesday of each month for the rest of 2015, and to financially support the dump ministry in El Tejar.  We encourage each class in our adult department to be involved in doing outreach/inreach, ministry and missions too.

Well, Bobby Broome has bailed me out the past two weeks as far as the grass cutting is concerned.  I kept thinking he would show up this week but that prayer has not been answered.  (BTW, Bobby is as good as they come when it comes to mowing.  You need to hire someone to mow your yard?  Give Bobby a call.  I do not think you will be disappointed!)  So, the weed eater, push mower and zero turn are calling my name today and probably tomorrow.

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