Our first and second grade basketball leagues will have three games tonight beginning at 5:30PM.  Our leagues will then take a break until Saturday, 1/8/22.  Thanks to Eddie Albritton for coordinating this ministry.

The visitation and service for Bryce Johnson will take place tomorrow, 12/21, in our auditorium.  Visitation with the family is from 10:00AM until the noon service time.  Pray for the family.  Pray for Bro. Jerry as he will preach the service.  Thank you to those who are helping with the food to feed the family following the service.

Donnie Felps is recovering nicely from his knee replacement surgery but has developed a cough that continues to hang on.  Keep praying for Donnie.

Dale Ellerman continues to recover at home from his hip replacement surgery.  Keep praying for Dale.

A blessed day in our services yesterday.  Kathy Jordan came desiring to follow Jesus in baptism and to join the Friendship family.  God gives the increase and we give Him the glory.

Miss Jeanette Bates and our adult choir did a great job of sharing the Gospel through song in our evening service.  I appreciate those folks!  A special thanks to Jeanette for a job well done.

I no longer watch any professional sports for various reasons relating to the NFL, NBA and MLB.  I have boycotted the NFL for the longest period of time.  It was revealed over the past few days that the NFL is funding the “defunding of the police” and “the abolishing of prisons.”  Really?  The following comes from Trey Gowdy and his television show on Sunday night:  “My guess is the folks in the stands and buying merchandise and paying for NFL channel will be surprised to learn their money is going toward crazy things like defunding police and abolishing prison.”  Personally, I support the police and believe in prisons.  Just FYI.

Regular schedule this Wednesday morning and evening.  Christmas Eve service from 5:00PM until 6:00PM.  Only one service this Sunday, 12/26, and it begins at 10:30AM.

Revival services begin on Sunday, 1/2, at 10:30AM.  We will have Sunday School at 9:15AM that day.  Evangelist Danny Long will be our guest messenger 1/2 – 1/5.  Pray for revival.

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