Friendship family, as you know, our students and chaperones will leave our campus at 4:00AM on Monday heading to Summer camp.  You have been so supportive as they have raised the finances for this potentially life changing experience.  I am going to ask you to do one more thing in addition to praying – bring cookies to either of the services this Sunday, 7/13.  These can be homemade cookies, cookies from a bakery, Crumbl cookies, Great American cookies, store bought cookies, whatever.  These cookies will be their “snack” on the ride to TN and any leftovers will be eaten during the week of camp.

There will be a receptacle in the foyer of the auditorium where you can place the cookies.  Thank you in advance for your cooperation and participation.  Cookies, cookies, cookies!

The Timberlake’s grandson, Tyler, had successful surgery.  Not sure what is next other than the recovery but I do ask that you keep praying for Tyler.

Larry Crawley remains hospitalized.  He has a very positive attitude and did something yesterday when I visited that no patient has ever done – he got out of bed when I walked in the room and stood for the entirety of my visit.  He had hopes of being discharged yesterday but that did not happen.  Continue to pray for Larry.

Deidra, Lizzi, Sydney, Audrey & Ingrid arrived in Grand Bay safe and sound around 12:30AM today.  Ingrid?  Yes, Ingrid.  Go to shininglightabroad.com and read Deidra’s latest blog entry for the information.  Thank you to Scott Fontenot for making the airport run to bring them to Grand Bay.  (Eddie Albritton’s rates have just gone through the roof!)

Remember, Deidra will be speaking in our 5:00PM service this Sunday, July 13.  I am praying for a full house.  Pass the word, please.

Our students leave for camp on Monday morning, 7/14.  The will depart from our campus at 4:00AM.  Pray for traveling mercies and a spiritually meaningful camp experience for all of them.

Thank you to those who are bringing the “Bags of GRACE” to the services.  Special offerings will be received on Sunday, 7/20, and Sunday, 7/27.  Please pray and give.  Our goal is three hundred bags from the Friendship family.

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