Stacey & Gayla Dyess are presently taking orders for seafood gumbo.  The order deadline is this Friday, 12/19.  The gumbo will be delivered on Tuesday, 12/23.  Cost is twenty dollars ($20) a quart.  It can be frozen and served eaten later.

The members of the Friendship family are well aware of the fact that Stacey & Gayla can cook!  They did not ask me to share this information or to solicit orders but it may be just what you want for the Christmas season.

This is a fundraiser to help one of their granddaughter’s cheer team go to nationals.  Contact Stacey or Gayla to place an order.  I can give you their number if you so desire.

The Lord blessed us with a good Sunday.  Our morning attendance was strong, not SRO strong but very good.  Our evening attendance was good.  I am thankful for folks who are faithful.

Clinton Stringfellow is home but still needs our prayers.  Please join me in continuing to pray for Clinton!

Bonnie Smiley is having some difficulties health wise.  I do not know all of the details but do ask that you join me in praying for her too.

Daisy, in Guatemala, is facing surgery at some point this week or Sunday.  She will have her gallbladder removed.  Pray for Daisy!  Yes, we did receive an offering for her yesterday and “may” do the same this Sunday, 12/21.

Pastor Shirlon & Jennifer Davis became grandparents yesterday afternoon as their daughter gave birth to a set of twin boys.  I think the birth took place at thirty-four weeks.  I have just told you all that I know but I do ask that you pray for this family.  Congratulations to the entire family!

Regular schedule on our campus this Wednesday, 12/17.

The Inspirations will be in concert at Friendship on Friday, January 2, 2026, beginning at 6:00PM.  A love offering will be received.  Everyone invited!  Pass the word!

I pray that you will have a great Monday with Jesus.  Enjoy these cooler (cold?) temperatures while they last.  Blessings!
