Happy birthday to my wife, Lisa.  She and all of her daughters and granddaughters have been away for a few days celebrating, relaxing and enjoying each others company.  Hopefully, the will decide to come home late this afternoon.  Lisa is a jewel!  I love her and pray that today will be a great day for her!  Happy birthday, Lisa!

The church office was closed yesterday so I do not have any updates on those for whom we have been praying.  I do ask that you add Robert Baria to that prayer list as he has an upcoming appointment regarding his throat.  I hope to get updates today on Chuck Rockwell and Buddy Brewer and will share them tomorrow.

The church office is open today from 8:00AM until noon and then from 1:00PM until 4:00PM.  Regular hours.

Regular schedule on our campus tomorrow – morning and evening.

I am still rejoicing in the sweetness and goodness of our fellowship this past Sunday afternoon/evening.  Someone made the comment to me around 7:30PM, “the folks are just hanging around not seemingly wanting to go home and that is a good thing!”  That person was correct!  It was not just a good thing but I feel it was a God thing!

Our next church-wide fellowship will take place on Sunday, July 2.  Stacey Dyess will be the lead chef.  I am giving him the twins as helpers.  (Hey, they cannot garden so I am trying to find something they can do!)  This will be our “cake auction” with all proceeds going to provide “extra” food for the students/families of Colegio JET in Guatemala.  We need a minimum of twenty-five cakes and probably could us fifty cakes.  (We had forty-two last year)  Looking for homemade cakes!  I learned last year that “homemade” is a debatable word!  If you will bake a cake for this auction, please send me a personal email at pastor@friendshipfamily.net.  Thank you in advance for helping “the least of these!”

We are adding something to our cake auction this year that will be a highlight indeed!  Have a guy cooking up something BIG!  You do not want to miss it!  Details forthcoming!

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