“Prayers outlive the lives of those who uttered them; outlive a generation, outlive an age, outlive a world.” (E. M. Bounds)
Prayer band – day five of forty. Be consistent in your prayers.
Tim Knighten’s brother, Mark, continues to need our prayer support. He remains in the hospital and his situation is very serious.
Carol Lucky was taken to the hospital yesterday, was treated, and then sent back home. Terry was not a “happy camper” with the decision to take Carol to the hospital. The ultimate move of sending her back home seems to prove that Terry was correct in his opinion. Regardless, Carol is home and that is where she wants to be if at all possible. Keep praying for Carol & Terry.
It was so good to see Edna Pearl and Phil Morgan in our morning service this past Sunday. Edna has had such a great attitude throughout her whole ordeal. Thank you Edna for being such a good example of how to handle physical adversity. Keep praying for Pearl and Phil.
I am missing my friend and brother in Christ, Andy Hamil. The visitation with Andy’s family will take place tomorrow, 8/27, from 10:00AM until the 11:00AM celebration of service begins.
Brothers in the Friendship family, this is an eleventh hour request. I need some help. I know Andy and I know what would please him. Gary Walton and his crew will work this morning to spruce up the flowers and shrubs around the auditorium. The shrubs in front of the office building were trimmed this past Saturday thanks to Bro. Abel and his soccer workday. I need three or four guys to help me today beginning around 11:30AM to weed eat, edge and mow the front lawn. We have the mower and a weed eater. Just need another weed eater or two and we should be finished in an hour or so. Any volunteers? Contact me or just show up at 11:30AM today. I want the place to look good in honor of Bro. Andy and Miss Betty.
Regular schedule today for everyone except our students (6th – seniors) as they will begin at 5:30PM. Everyone will dismiss at 7:00PM. Join us!
Our Sunday School Rally and Ice Cream Fellowship is this Sunday evening, August 30, from 5:00–6:00PM in the CAB.
This special evening is open to everyone—young and old—whether you already attend Sunday School or are considering becoming part of a class. We will enjoy homemade ice cream with all the toppings, have some fun together, and discover the importance of being connected to Sunday School.
Come on your own or bring your entire family! We will begin promptly at 5:00 PM and finish by 6:00 PM. This event will take the place of our regular Sunday evening service.
Strong Christians don’t drift—they stay anchored in God’s Word! Come learn how Sunday School can help you and your family become Anchored in Truth through God’s Word, community, service, and mission.
I pray that you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus.
