David French’s father, James Francis French, passed from this life on Monday, 8/25.  Mr. French was ninety years old.  The obituary is incomplete but the arrangements are complete.  The visitation and service will take place Friday, 8/29, from Pinecrest Funeral Home on Dauphin Island Parkway.  Visitation will be from 10:00AM until the 11:00AM service.  Please pray for the French family.

David French is one of the nicest gentleman I have ever known.  (How Kim got him I will never know!) David has faithfully taught Royal Ambassadors at Friendship for years.  He is very quiet and never seeks the spotlight.  Great member of the Friendship family.

I will post the obit once it goes online.  Pray for David, Kim and family during this time.

The celebration of life service for Sonny Bates was very well done.  Brad & Cindy did a great job of sharing the message in song.  Wes Bates did his dad proud as he did an excellent job of sharing the Word.  I know Sonny would have been very proud of his son for a job well done.

Thank you to each person who helped with the meal following the COLS.  Nicely done.

Regular schedule on our campus today and tonight.

Ladies Bible study tomorrow morning beginning at 10:00AM.

Church wide bowling fellowship this Sunday evening.  Details in my letter this week.

Church picnic at Presley’s Outing on Sunday, 9/21, beginning at 4:00PM.  Make plans to join us.

One observation from the visitation with the Bates family Tuesday night.  The wife of one of our leaders came to me complaining about having to stand in line so long and basically demanded that she be taken to the front of the line or. . .   So, not wanting to cause a scene I did as she requested.  People!

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