Happy adoption day to our daughters, Dana & Gina!  Twenty-four years ago today Judge Red Noonan legally declared them to be our daughters for life!  We love Dana & Gina and are grateful to God for placing them in our life.

I normally do not blog on Saturdays but there are a few things I want to make sure the members of the Friendship family remember.  First, I am encouraging each member of the Friendship family to attend our services tomorrow morning and evening. Our morning service will feature a Gideon testimony which is a great word of the saving power of God.  We will receive an offering for the ministry of the Gideons.  Please pray and give as the Lord leads.  Jeff Holifield will we our point person for this service as he serves as a Gideon.

Also, Carl Ray Moulds is leading the ministry of feeding the men from the Mission of Hope who will attend our 10:30AM service and then be treated to lunch compliments of the Friendship family.

Our 5:00PM service will feature the ministry of our adult choir under the direction of Miss Jeanette Bates.  They will be presenting their Christmas musical.  I pray that the Friendship family will be faithful to attend and support this service.

Folks, you do not want to miss these two services!

We have a committee of five ladies who are leading the charge in helping fulfill JZ Baker’s desire to check an item off of his bucket list – taking a trip to Guatemala with his family.  This eleven year old wants to do mission work – specifically build a house for a needy family.

Tomorrow morning, there will be forms available to pre-order t-shirts that will benefit this cause.  Shirts are twenty dollars each with an upcharge (from the shirt company).  Payment (cash, check or Venmo) needs to be made whenever your form is given to Bibbi, Chelsea, Daphne, Elizabeth or Tena.  Questions/more information?  Contact Bibbi or Daphne.

Also, there will be bracelets available for two dollars each.  I think they are embossed saying “JZ4JC” and will serve as a reminder to pray for this eleven year old boy and his family as they walk through this journey.  (JC4JC?  Yes, JZ for Jesus Christ)

One final thing – we have a fresh batch of coffee in festive red bags just in time for Christmas gifts.  Ten dollars per pound.  Very limited supply.  Ground only.  See Lisa to get yours.

Basketball is taking place today in our CAB.  Pray for this ministry.

I am looking forward to tomorrow.  Join me!

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