Let me begin by saying congratulations to Zach & Charlotte Brown on the birth of their son last Monday, 1/11.  All is well and we are grateful.

Also, congratulations to Josh & Kristi Nelson on the the birth of their daughter this past Friday, 1/15.  Again, all is well and we are grateful.

Thank you to each person who helped feed the Belvin McDonald family this past Friday following the celebration of life service.  I also appreciate Jeff Holifield preaching that service and Cecil Guidry doing the eulogy.

The celebration of life service for Diane Bryant’s father, Jim Brannon, takes place this Wednesday, 1/20.  It will be a private family service.  Pray for the Brannon family.

We had a good day in our services yesterday.  The attendance in our first service was up while the attendance in our second service was down.  Our evening service attendance was somewhere in the middle.  I think that I did not take into account that it was a holiday weekend which affected our attendance.  Overall, we had a good day and we give God the glory.

This Sunday, 1/24, is going to be a day of appreciation for Miss Kittie Camp.  Miss Camp faithfully served as a part time secretary in our church office for thirty five plus years before retiring at the end of 2020.  However, she is much, much more than a secretary within the Friendship family.  I refer to her as our “church mother” as she means so much to so many folks within the Friendship family and outside the Friendship family.  More details on this special day to follow.  Thank God for Miss Kittie!

I “think” the Friendship family is virus free at the moment.  Bro. Jerry should be back in the office today if he feels up to it.  Praise the Lord for His watch care over Bro. Jerry and the others within the Friendship family.  We are blessed!

I am not a watcher of the NFL.  However, I did see where the Saints lost in the playoffs and I know that disappoints a good number of folks on the Gulf Coast.  It appears the playing career of Drew Brees is over.  If so, he had a great career.

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