MONDAY, 7/7/25
Happy twenty-first birthday to our great-nephew, Grayson Glenn. Grayson is staying with us this Summer as he is involved in a research project at USA. We will have a family gathering tonight to celebrate this milestone birthday. Rebecca Markey baked Grayson a cake and it may just be the ugliest cake ever! LOL! (Actually, Becca does a great job baking cakes. Decorating? Not so much!). Happy birthday, Grayson.
The Lord blessed the Friendship family with a good day in both of our services yesterday. We praise Him. Yes, we had folks out of town but, all in all, our attendance was good. Thank you to those who were faithful!
My heart breaks and my prayers have focused on the folks in Texas who were affected by the flooding this past Friday morning. Tragic! I am praying for each family who lost loved ones but especially those parents who lost their children. I am also praying for the first responders. Join me in these prayers.
Bro. Chris’ schedule has changed. He will now be working Monday through Thursday with Thursday being his grass cutting day. He will continue to lead our bus ministry visitation on Saturdays.
Deidra, the girls and Ingrid are set to arrive here late Wednesday night. The older two girls will be going to camp with our students next week. Deidra will be speaking during our 5:00PM service this Sunday, 7/13. She is excited! (Wink, wink!)
Speaking of Deidra, Edgar, Jr. was involved in a motorcycle accident this past Saturday. He was kept in the hospital overnight and is now on GRACE Mountain. He is experiencing a great deal of pain. Pray for him, please.
Keep praying for Clinton Stringfellow, Betty Hamil and the others on our prayer list.
Sonny & Jeanette Bates celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary yesterday, 7/6. Happy belated anniversary to this outstanding couple. I thank God for Sonny & Jeanette and the ministry God has given them at Friendship.
Word has it that Mexico beat the USA in the Gold Cup last night. If I had known this before going to bed last night then I probably would not have been able to sleep.
“Bags of GRACE” are our focus this month. Help us as the Lord leads. Love offerings for this cause will be received on Sunday, 7/20, and Sunday, 7/27.
I pray that you will have a great Monday with Jesus.
