FRIDAY, 4/17/20
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1)
Bill Kendrick sent me an e-mail late yesterday saying that Debbie’s mother is some better. She remains in the hospital and in need of our prayer support.
Terry Lucky tells me that Carol is doing better. She has been battling pneumonia again. He was thinking that she may be discharged from the hospital today. Keep praying.
I really do not have any updates on others for whom we have been praying but do ask that you keep praying. God knows the needs and He honors prayer.
Our on campus schedule for this Sunday, 4/19, is drive in service at 8:00AM and another one at 6:00PM. Plans are for these services to take place on the back forty. We will have the offering receptacle set up under the carport again so folks can drive through and deposit their offerings if they so desire. These will be two different services so I encourage folks to attend both if at all possible. Let’s be honest – what else is there to do right now with the “stay home” order in place?
The weather forecasters are calling for thunderstorms Sunday morning. That will not impact our ability to have the drive in services. Worse case scenario, the musicians and I will simply broadcast from inside the auditorium but those in attendance will be able to tune in on their vehicle’s radio. As has been the case previously, everyone must stay in their own vehicle for the duration of the time they are on our campus. “If” we are inside the auditorium then you can park anywhere on our campus and listen the music and message.
Yes, we will have some things online this Sunday but my strong request is for the members of the Friendship family to attend our drive in services. We will have worship through music and preaching streaming at 7:00AM this Sunday. Now, you do not have to watch it that early as it will remain on our website all day Sunday so you can watch at your convenience.
Bro. Jerry will teach an online Sunday School lesson beginning at 9:00AM and then Bro. Dale will lead Power Up for our children beginning at 9:30AM. These two things will also be on our website all day Sunday.
I pray that you will have a great Friday with Jesus.
