SUNDAY, 11/11/18

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

Wow, if I could just live by that verse daily then I would be much better as a follower of Jesus.  Kind – never wrong to be kind.  Tender-hearted – a heart of compassion.  Forgiving one another – even when they do not deserve forgiveness.  Just as God in Christ has forgiven me – ouch!

Happy seventh birthday to our granddaughter, Lizzi Taylor!  Yes, she was born on 11/11/11 at 11:16AM.  Her “mimi” is flying down today to spend a few days with her, her two sisters and her parents.  I hope that Lizzi has an amazing birthday.  She has really picked up the Spanish language and speaks in exclusively when at school.  We are proud of her!  Happy birthday Lizzi!

Happy Veterans Day!  I say a heartfelt “thank you” to all of our veterans!  Likewise, I commend all of those presently serving in our Armed Forces.  We will be recognizing all of our veterans today and giving a gift to each one present in our evening service.

Pastor Wes Bates will be preaching for us this morning in both of our worship services.  My prayer is that many members of the Friendship family will be present.  Then in tonight’s service Randall Broome will lead us in a special time of musical worship.

Remember, we will receive a special love offering in all three services today for the church family at Long Avenue Baptist Church in Port St. Joe, Florida.  This church suffered major flood damage because of Hurricane Michael.  Pray and give as the Lord leads.

We have two openings that just became available on our December 1 – 8 mission trip to Guatemala.  Interested in joining that team?  Contact me personally at pastor@friendshipfamily.net.  First come, first served.

Lord willing, I will be attending the annual meeting of the Alabama Baptist State Convention on Tuesday.  It will take place in Trussville.  It actually lasts through Wednesday noon but I will be back in time for our morning service that day.

I pray that you will have a great Sunday with Jesus.  Go to church.
