Well, the good news is that everything needed for the meal has been covered.  Done.  Finished.  Completed.  Amen!  Praise the Lord!

However, we still need those cash donations from those out of town guys!

Again, thank you to those ladies who have so graciously helped get this meal together and for each one who is cooking.  What a blessing!

I know you are sitting beside your computer or looking at your phone/watch just waiting on an update about the meal.  Here it is:

We have the turkeys being cooked covered.

We need two cakes.

We need six sweet potato casseroles.  (Sessions has cases of sweet potatoes – just saying!)

We need five fruit salads.

I have noticed that one of our Sunday School classes is not well represented on our list.  I am not calling them out yet.  Could give you forty reasons but I will let it slide today.  Just saying!  LOL!

Dark thirty is coming!

P.S. – this is a community event so if any of our readers outside the Friendship family want to help then please feel free to do so.  Just send me an email.  Thanks!  (Really trying to avoid having to use Courtney Cavin and her cooking skills!)

P.S.S. – or folks who are out of town like Eddie, Ross, Tom, Dave Westhouse, Pastor Clint, et cetera could just send cash donations.

“Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.” (Ephesians 4:32)

Ok, I know you had a restless night with not much sleep wondering where we stood on the food for the senior adult Thanksgiving meal.  Here is where we stand as of this morning – we need four cakes, six sweet potato casseroles, eleven fruit salads and cooks for three more turkeys.  I would love to complete this list before dark thirty tonight.  Calling on those folks under age sixty five to step up today!  Please email me at pastor@friendshipfamily.net so I can add your name to the list.

Special thanks to Brittney Nelson (20-29), Daphne Hutto (30-39), Jeanette Bates (40-49) and Bro. Jerry (50-59) for contacting their respective Sunday School classes to get folks to help with this ministry.

If this list is not complete by dark thirty today then I will start calling folks like Kim French out in tomorrow’s entry.  Just know that you have been fairly warned!  (Do we really want Kim French cooking?  Just saying!)

The Friendship family is hospital free at the moment.  Marisa Felps got a good deal on a gallbladder removal surgery so she will have that surgery done one week from today.

Time changes tomorrow night so remember to “fall back” one hour before going to bed.

Deacons meet this Sunday afternoon at 4:00PM.

Personnel Committee meets this Sunday afternoon at 5:00PM.

The Friendship family will most likely be asked Sunday night to give the Buildings & Grounds Committee the ok to purchase the new door unit for the front of the auditorium.  I appreciate all of the work Jeff Holifield has done with this much needed project.

I am ready for the college football weekend.

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