Greg Boutwell was admitted to the hospital last week.  The thinking is that he “may” be discharged today.  Pray for Greg.

Miss Kathleen Henderson was admitted to the hospital over the weekend and is in the ICU.  I will be visiting with her today.  Miss Kathleen is so very faithful to attend our services and to pray for me.  Pray for her.

Sharon Jardee remains in the hospital and should be discharged today per her doctor.  Pray that her recovery will go as planned.

I mistakenly wrote that Tim Knighten would begin his raditation treatments today.  He will see the oncologist today.  Not sure when his treatments will begin.  Keep praying for Tim.

Becky Sellers has been having some tough days.  Pray for her.

Carla Kyser is MIA!  Really?

Brooke Whitehurst is having outpatient surgery on her knee this morning.  I overheard Rusty telling her yesterday morning that she will probably be “out” for the next three or four years based on his experience!  Pray for Brooke!

Good day in our morning services yesterday.  Thanks to everyone who helped with the food boxes and/or the bus ministry meal.  The adult choir was really strong in the second service – awesome!

Thank you to each member of the Friendship family who attended the community Thanksgiving service at the Methodist Church last night.  We were well represented.

We had forty five students attend the outing last night in Gulf Shores.  Special thanks to Terry Lucky for driving the bus to and from this activity.  Not sure how well Terry did on the trampolines!

Lazaro & Glendy Suruy will arrive in Grand Bay tomorrow, 11/22, if all goes as planned.  They will be with us in our services this Sunday, 11/27.

The following is taken from the calendar of activities which has been distributed for the past three or four weeks:  Wednesday, November 23 – No Services/Classes/Activities.  I will not get on my soapbox (LOL) but will simply remind everyone that we are not having any services, classes or activities this Wednesday, 11/23, as has been announced for the past month.

Courtney Cavin is my hero!  Why?  She gave me a Hope’s Cheesecake!  Amazing!

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