WEDNESDAY, 5/7/25
Happy fourteenth birthday to our oldest granddaughter, Emmy. She and her mom will spend the day together and I hope she will have a great day! We love Emmy and wish her the absolute best!
By the way, my “sister” Deidra Tucker Burleson is also celebrating a birthday today. She is a bit older than fourteen. I hope her day goes well too!
Tried to blog earlier this morning but “this page is temporarily unavailable” message kept appearing. However, it just became available. I know Deidra and Daphne are excited!
Katie Tillman gets a failing grade in providing her pastor with updates regarding her husband’s medical tests, consults, et cetera. (Maybe she should take lessons from Peggy Knighten!). It is my understanding that Grant will have more tests tomorrow. Pray for all to go well and for answers as to why Grant is having issues.
Keep praying for Clinton Stringfellow.
Bill Kendrick shared a prayer request with me Sunday that relates to this morning – right now as a matter of fact. I pray all goes well.
Gospel songwriter/singer, Squire Parsons, passed from this life on Monday. He was seventy-seven years of age. What a legacy he leaves behind. Pray for his family. Thank you to Andy Hamil for letting me know
Members and Missions are the theme for May when it comes to the Friendship family. We are praying to add members and to give graciously to the ministry portion of our June 12 – 19 GRACE Ministries mission trip. This will include building houses, distributing food, helping another ministry and giving toward an annual salary for a teacher at Colegio JET.
How did we do on the first Sunday? We added one member so that is good. Our goal is ten new members in May. We received four hundred seventy-five dollars in a special offering. Our goal is ten thousand dollars. So, we did not get off to a great start but I am thankful for each cent given. We have three more Sundays to reach these goals.
This Sunday, 5/11, will see us celebrate mothers in our morning service. Our children’s choir will be singing in that service. Please note that the children will be standing on the piano side of the pulpit. We will recognize the oldest mother in attendance. We will have a baby dedication. It is going to be a great service. Also note that we will not be having any evening service or activities. If possible, celebrate the day with your mother.
We will have a catfish dinner donation meal on Friday evening, May 16, and Saturday morning, May 17. All proceeds will go toward the ministry portion of our June 12 – 19 GRACE Ministries trip. This is something totally separate from the special offerings in our May services. Pre-orders can be placed by sending Daphne an email at daphnehutto@gmail.com. Deadline for pre-orders is Monday, May 12.
I pray that you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus.
