SATURDAY, 8/29/26
“None but praying leaders can have praying followers.” (E. M. Bounds)
Today is the eighth day of our forty days of prayer. Thank you to our prayer band for joining me in this effort!
First, a very heartfelt “thank you” to each person who contacted me yesterday expressing strong words of encouragement and prayer support. Each one was very much appreciated – very much so!
Tomorrow is a very important day in the life of the Friendship family. We, as a church family, will have the opportunity to express our love and appreciation to Bro. Abel for his seventh anniversary as a staff member at Friendship. We will do so by receiving a love offering in both services. This is a love offering so give as the Lord leads. No obligation but a great opportunity!
Our 5:00PM service will take place in the CAB and will be a Sunday School rally. This is for the entire Friendship family and will include an ice cream fellowship. I am asking each member of the Friendship family to attend this special service and help us build our Sunday School. Sunday School is important to our church! Join us tomorrow afternoon at 5:00PM in the CAB.
Congratulations to Bryant, Faith and UMS for their respective victories on the football field last night.
While others were being so kind to me yesterday my wife was cracking the proverbial whip! She had me working in the yard for about five or six hours. She was Aunt Bee and I was Otis! I walked in the house at dark thirty and her exact words were “did you finish?” What ever happened to grace? Just saying!
Today we get to attend football games in Citronelle and Fairhope. Nora plays flag and Jayden plays tackle. (Lisa and I are trying to be like Eddie & Sue!)
I hope to be joined by many of you in our services tomorrow morning and afternoon. Remember the love offering for Bro. Abel.
I pray that you will have a great Saturday with Jesus.
