“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1)
The church office is open today from 8:00AM until 4:00PM.
Mary Jackson remains in the hospital and needs our prayer support. She is having some issues that have the doctors confused.
Debbie Kendrick’s mother appears to be at the point of her physical death. Family members are traveling in to be able to be with her and the rest of the family. Pray for traveling mercies. It goes without saying that we need to pray for God to be merciful to Mrs. Amonett. The family is being allowed to visit two at a time while following strict protocol regarding the virus.
The memorial service for Stella Brinkman will take place this Saturday, June 13. There will be an hour of visitation from 11:00AM until the noon celebration of life service. Everything will take place in our auditorium. Keep praying for the Brinkman family.
We need a ton of food to feed the Brinkman family following the service. Please call the church office today, tomorrow or Thursday if you will help. The secretary can either take your information or put you in touch with Tina Wilkinson. All food will need to be at the church no later than noon on Saturday.
How did the dividing of the adult Sunday School classes go this past Sunday? In my opinion, very well. Each class had a good number even though we were down due to the stormy weather. Remember, we now have a class for 30 – 37; one for 38 – 44; and one for 45 – 49. All three classes meet in the adult building. The 50 – 59 class now meets in the youth building. Sunday School is the place to get into a deeper study of the Word and to develop relationships. Not involved? Why not start this Sunday at 9:15AM?
Regular schedule on our campus tomorrow morning and evening.
The Cracker Barrel restaurant is contemplating selling alcohol. The brass is supposedly listening to their clientele as to whether or not to implement this plan. If you are against it, contact their customer service. I will try to provide that contact information in another post.
I ventured out into my garden late yesterday afternoon and almost had a meltdown. Lots of damage. The ground is very wet. It is supposed to rain today and tomorrow but I am going to use a vacation day today to try and salvage some of my plants. The corn will straighten up once the sun comes out. It will take some surgery to fix some of the other plants. I will most likely have to either dodge the rain showers or just grin and bear it! I have been dealing with stress lately and now this! I am literally laughing out loud. It is a garden which means it is not life or death and does not have any eternal significance.
Pecan trees tend to lose many limbs when the wind blows more than one mile per hour. Such is the case on this hill following Sunday’s winds. Special thanks to Steve Morris for providing a huge help to me yesterday and today.
Let me give a shout out to Joey Switzer’s lube shop. Lisa took her vehicle there yesterday for an oil change and all they did was change the oil. No new engine, transmission, tires or anything! See, miracles do still happen!
I also want to give a shout out to Joey’s gym – WOW! If you are not presently a member, why not consider joining and get some physical exercise. I try to go at least once a day to do cardio. A lot of you were thinking I have been doing weight training but that is not true. My guns are natural! Any way, Joey & Amy are members of the Friendship family, WOW is local, and many of us need to do a better job of taking care of our bodies. (Please note that I am not a paid endorser! Not yet anyway!) WOW is open 24/7.
I loved the state trooper in Georgia who was asked to take a knee in support of the protesters. His answer was that he only bows to One – God! (I am assuming he means the same God I serve)
I pray that you will have a great Tuesday with Jesus.
