FRIDAY, 4/8/22
Good morning to all thirteen readers of the “blob!” The weather forecasters are calling for us to enjoy three beautiful days here in South Mobile County. I hope that you will enjoy them but not so much that you miss the church services on Sunday! Just saying!
The memorial service for Kirk Crowder’s father takes place at Serenity this morning beginning at 10:00AM. Help is needed to feed the family following the service. Those helping need to have their food in the fellowship hall no later than 10:00AM. Thank you in advance for helping and a very special thanks to Tina Wilkinson for coordinating this ministry. Tina is awesome!
Nothing new as far as I know on those for whom we have been praying. Steve Morris, any word? Folks, keep praying!
Picture day tomorrow for our soccer teams. I am sure those involved know the details. Pray for this ministry.
Regular schedule on our campus this Sunday, April 10. There will be a meeting beginning at 4:00PM for those interested in discussing the proposed budget. That budget will be voted on during our evening service.
Our focus this Sunday morning will be on the Cross and our evening service will see us observe the ordinance of the Lord’s Supper. I pray that the members of the Friendship family will attend these services in strong numbers.
Our Easter Sunday schedule is as follows: sunrise service at 6:00AM followed by worship services at 8:00AM and 10:30AM.
Our tumbler supply is dwindling pretty quickly. We now have zero yellow tumblers. We still have two orange ones, seven reds and eleven purples. Email me if you want one or more. Again, first come, first served.
Ok, let me be honest. I had an ulterior motive for going to Hartselle on Wednesday. Garnett’s Lawn Equipment has a nicely stocked supply of Gravely mowers especially the 660. I was thinking that perhaps the “big boss” (Willard) would want to bless a pastor with one of those as a token of his appreciation for God’s blessings on his business. What was I thinking?
As I examine the landscape, I am afraid our blog readership has perhaps fallen into the single digits. My use of “thirteen” in the opening of this entry is probably an exaggeration. How do I know this? Folks who claim to be readers send me emails, messages, et cetera asking questions or making statements about things that were clearly mentioned in the blog earlier which means they did not read the blog. That hurts! So, is it worth spending time, energy and space on the web for seven or eight readers? (Asking for a friend!) I had high hopes of being like Pastor Jack Bailey and his blog readership numbers but that simply is not feasible.
I pray that you will have a great Friday with Jesus. Enjoy this beautiful day that the Lord has made!
