TWO ADDITIONAL PRAYER REQUESTS

Word came to me around 1:00PM that Marie Brooks’ brother, Jessie, had just passed from this life.  I went to the house to see Marie & Nanette.  A chaplain was there so I did not hang around.  Yes, this is the second brother to pass from this life in less than a week.  Pray for the family!

Katie Tillman messaged me earlier today to say that her maternal grandmother, Stella Brinkman, had been transported to the hospital via an ambulance.  The initial thought was stroke but they found a brain bleed.  She underwent surgery, did well, is now responding some and has been placed in ICU.  Pray for Stella and her family.

THURSDAY, 4/23/20

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”  (Psalm 46:1)

Eddie’s father did have surgery yesterday and all went well as far as they know.  They are thinking that he could be discharged from the hospital early next week.  Keep praying.

Talked to Tim Knighten before our service last night and he met with a surgeon this past Monday.  They will do a different test and then Tim will see the surgeon again on May 21.  Keep praying for Tim.

Larry Whitehurst told me yesterday of the passing of Larry Fort.  I have known Larry for over forty years and ask that you pray for his family.  Obviously, private service.

One of the members who is presently unemployed sent me a message last night sharing a huge blessing from God.  He was extremely grateful.

How about that crowd for yesterday morning’s drive in service!  Awesome!  Last night’s attendance was much better too.  Thank you to those who are being faithful to attend.

We also had folks give offerings in both services yesterday.  Our online giving is up this week too.  Thank you Friendship family for being faithful in this area of worship.

Pray as we begin to focus on getting back in our buildings for corporate worship.  It is a constitutional right and a scriptural command.

Two drive in services this Sunday – 8:00AM & 6:00PM.  I am asking the members of the Friendship family to join us and to invite others to join you!  We plan on having a treat for all of the children, fifth graders and under, who attend the morning service.

We need the senior adults from the Friendship family to contact Cecil Guidry no later than next Thursday, 4/30, to let her know if you will be attending our morning service on Sunday, May 3.  It will be Senior Adult Sunday and we will providing you with a take home dinner from Kitchen of the Sea.  Fried fish, baked beans & coleslaw.  Rumor has it that a piece of Lisa’s pound cake will also be included.  We plan on delivering to our senior adults who cannot attend the service.  We count our senior adults as those who are age sixty five and above.

I was able to spend some time in my garden yesterday afternoon working on making it a Santa Claus garden – hoe, hoe, hoe!  I also was singing “In The Garden” especially that first stanza that goes, “I come to the garden alone!”   Just saying!

Where will Tua go in the draft tonight?  Which pick and which team?

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