WEDNESDAY, 6/29/22
We are on a regular schedule on our campus this morning and evening. I pray many members of the Friendship family will be in attendance.
Keep praying for Myrtle Bowden as she battles a malignancy. Myrtle is as good as they come when it comes to being faithful to the things of God. She is very deserving of our prayer support.
Steve Morris’ doctor has taken him off of the medication that was causing his swallowing difficulties along with his weakened voice. They are going to increase his treatments. Pray that this new plan will be effective.
Jeanette Bates got some positive news from the orthopedic doctor this week. She is now wearing a brace on each wrist but they do not prevent her from playing the piano. Praise the Lord!
Miss Judy Tucker is having surgery this morning to remove a cancerous spot on her face. Pray that all goes well.
Pastor Eddie Burdette and his team in Guatemala will finish their week of ministry today. Pray they will finish well as they have had a strong week of ministry.
I met with Stacey Dyess yesterday morning and then Lisa and I spent several hours buying supplies for this Sunday’s church wide fellowship. All systems are a go! The sign up has been excellent and we are going to have a great fellowship which will include the cake auction featuring a cake baked by Miss Vinnie Brewer. The auction will be silent as well as live! Bro. Jerry is even bringing in a special auctioneer to help with this special auction. Remember, we need the folks attending to bring potato salad/chips, baked beans and a dessert. Please bring enough for those attending with you plus two more. If possible, we need the food to be in the CAB no later that 4:45PM so it can be ready to be served by 5:00PM.
By the way, my brother, Eddie, is going to try to attend the auction. That would be bad news for Gary Walton in his bid to purchase a cake. Just saying!
One worship service this Sunday and it will begin at 8:00AM. No buses running their routes, no Sunday School, no second morning service, et cetera. (Our Spanish service will meet as normal but that is the exception) Please pass the word!
Eddie Albritton and I were in the Waffle House following the service this past Sunday evening. Richard & Angie Bentley and family were also there and Angie picked up our tab. How nice is that! Totally unexpected but totally appreciated. Thank you Richard & Angie! When are you guys going to WH again? (That question came from Eddie!)
Also, Lisa and I have had a banner year gardening wise with folks bringing us produce. John Milton Ladnier has been very gracious to us as have Stacey & Gayla Dyess. (John has given liberally but what he does not know is that we have been taking from his garden pretty much daily while he has been at work) Clinton Stringfellow has given us some beautiful peas which we enjoyed for lunch this past Sunday. Thank you to these find folks for their many kindnesses to our family.
I pray that you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus. Stay cool! Pray for the auction!
