MONDAY, 8/29/22
The Lord blessed the Friendship family with a really good day in our services yesterday. We had a profession of faith in our 8:00AM service and another one in our 10:30AM service. We give God the praise and glory!
Camp 20 was the focus of our two morning services as the entire Friendship family was invited to join us going to camp. Here is how:
20 minutes of prayer daily from now until December 31, 2022.
20 minutes of Bible reading daily from now until December 31, 2022.
20 minutes of sharing Jesus with someone weekly from now until December 31, 2022.
20 dollars given to GRACE Ministries weekly (September 1 – November 30) in order to build houses in Miss Kittie’s memory in Guatemala on our December 1 – 8, 2022 trip. Each person can determine the amount they can give toward this ministry.
20 members of the Friendship family joining us for the June 15 – 22, 2023 GRACE Ministries mission trip.
All of these things are an “at least” with the exception of number four.
No one knew anything about this camp until yesterday morning. Six hundred dollars was given following our second morning service, five hundred and fifty dollars was given at the start of our evening service and another one hundred dollars was given following the evening service. So, twelve hundred and fifty dollars given on the first day. Great start to Camp 20! I have already heard from one member of the Friendship family this morning stating they have already done the praying and reading this morning! Good stuff!
FYI, folks outside of the Friendship family are welcome to join us at camp!
Camp 20 will be an emphasis for the next four months. Miss Kittie would be thankful and would quickly say, “to God be the glory!”
Thank you to those who gave to the anniversary offering for Bro. Abel Garcia yesterday. He did a nice job of preaching in last night’s service.
This Sunday, 9/4, we will have a regular morning on our campus. However, our evening service will begin at 5:00PM and will conclude by 6:00PM. Miss Tena “may” have children’s choir at 5:00PM but otherwise there will be no other classes, activities, et cetera.
Dale Ellerman is set to have surgery in Birmingham on Friday, September 9. Pray for Dale as he is back in Birmingham today.
Keep praying for Myrtle Bowden, Anna Carol Bosarge, Tim Knighten, Richard Bentley, Karen McGriff and others.
Rhett Butler got called out to work yesterday. Jimmy Tagert stepped in and did an excellent job with our video for the service. Brandon Baker has been handling the audio portion and is doing a nice job. Raymond Wilkinson has done the audio since like forever and has always done a great job too! Ditto for James Mareno on the video side. We are blessed in this area.
As noted by Keith Barrett, my wife was found guilty of money laundering yesterday!
I pray that you will have a great Monday with Jesus.
