It is a little after 4:00PM on 8/18 and I just spoke to Sonny Bates via the phone.  The medical folks have advised Jeff to call the family in as Miss Kittie Camp is very low.  So, the family members are headed to Montgomery to be with Miss Kittie.  Folks, pray fervently and without ceasing!  Pass the word to others who will join us in praying!

I spoke to Tim K as we were walking into the classes/services last night.  The plan is to go back to M.D. Anderson in December, have another scan and, depending on the scan results, do surgery to remove the tumor.  Tim’s situation is fluid.  I simply ask that you keep praying for Tim & Peggy.

Miss Kittie Camp continues to need our prayer support.  How many others has she prayed for over the years?  (Do not even try to count!)

Sammy & Myrtle Bowden’s son, Sambo, had surgery yesterday and all went well.  He should be discharged today.

Steve Morris is still battling a cough and is just not feeling well.  Pray for Steve.

Richard Bentley is recovering nicely.  Keep praying.

Anna Carol Bosarge had a therapy session yesterday as she continues to recover at home.  Pray for Anna Carol.

I received a call from my brother, Eddie, shortly after 1:00AM this morning.  They took our Mama to the hospital via ambulance.  It is now a little after 4:00AM and they are doing some tests/scans to try to figure out what is going on.  It “appears” to be a blood pressure problem but the doctor does not want to say until he has the test results in hand.

So, my plans could change meaning I would head North today instead of tomorrow.  I will definitely be in Gadsden for Mark’s celebration of life service tomorrow afternoon at 2:00PM.

We had a good day in our services yesterday morning and evening.  We were missing some regulars in our evening service but we still had a strong attendance.  Thank you to those who attended morning or evening.

Church fellowship at Presley’s Outing on Sunday, 9/25, from 4:00PM until 7:00PM.  Baptismal service during that fellowship.  More details coming!

Now is the time for members of the Friendship family to sign up for our June 2023 and our July 2023 GRACE Ministries trips to Guatemala.  June dates are 15 – 22 and July dates are 20 – 27.  These are both going to be at capacity plus so you need to sign up soon(er).  Email me (pastor@friendshipfamily.net) for more information or to sign up.

Remember, I am not in the office today but it is open and we have men ready to serve you.  I will either be on a mower or on the interstate.  I prefer the mower!

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