WEDNESDAY, 3/11/26
Regular schedule on our campus today beginning at 10:00AM and 6:30PM. Praying for a good number of the Friendship family members to join us. Will you be one of them? I pray so!
Clinton Stringfellow was moved from the rehab facility to the hospital yesterday as he has been diagnosed with pneumonia. Keep praying for Clinton.
Arnold Strahan was supposed to be discharged from the hospital yesterday but I am not sure if that happened or not. He was in pain and the decision would depend on how he did in his initial physical therapy session. Pray for Arnold.
What has been the response thus far for the call for eight women (baking) and the eight men (mission trip) up to this point? One sweet lady called and graciously committed to bake a cake. Otherwise, crickets. My wife would normally bake two or three cakes but she will not be in the country during those days as she will be on a mission trip to South Africa. We do have one lady who promised to bake a cake last year but then “forgot” to do so. I wonder if she will step up this year? Who? Yep, she is the one!
The concept of having a “men only” building team going to Guatemala is brand new. Waiting to see the response before going definite. Why eight? So each man will have his own room and bathroom. Again, it will be a Sunday through Saturday trip at some point in September. Brothers, the ball is now in your proverbial court.
Two things relating to our student ministry. First, we have gift “cards” got the Tidal Wave carwash. They are ten dollars each and allow the holder to get a thirty something dollars wash with an expiration date of early 2027. All proceeds from this effort will go toward summer camp for our students.
Second, there will be pulled pork dinners (sandwich, bag of chips, cookie and soft drink/water) available immediately following our morning service on Sunday, March 29. The suggested donation is eight dollars per plate with a maximum of thirty dollars per immediate family. Take outs only. There will be a limited number of the dinners available during the soccer games on Saturday, 3/28. More information to come.
Speaking of soccer (why would you?), our league play begins on Saturday, March 21. The highlight of the season will be our concession stand which will once again feature our soon to be famous five dollars combos. I hope that folks will come just to purchase a combo which will help the ministry portion of our June GRACE Ministries trip. Here is the good news – you can eat and you do not even have to watch the soccer games!
Pray for Bro. Abel and our soccer ministry. Bro. Abel did me a huge favor yesterday and I am most appreciative. It is about Jesus!
Now I will sit back and watch my email inbox go crazy with baking ladies and mission trip men responding. Just saying!
I pray that you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus.
