It was a rainy Sunday morning and we all know what is said about rain and Baptists when it comes to church attendance.  Well, that was not true yesterday morning as we had a packed house including folks sitting in the choir loft.  How about that!  Obviously, it did not hurt that the men from the Mission of Hope joined us be we would have had a strong attendance without them.  Wow, what a Sunday morning.  The proverbial “cherry on the top” was having Justin & Amber Dunnam join the Friendship family during the invitation.  Praise the Lord!

Eddie Albritton is experiencing some pain due to his surgery.  Pray for Eddie to recover quickly.

Eddie’s younger sister, Wendy, remains in the hospital but should be discharged later today.  Pray for Wendy and family.

The visitation with the Jack Dowdy family will take place in our auditorium this Saturday, 4/5, from 2:00 – 4:00PM.  Continue to pray for this family.

I am told that we had another great day of soccer this past Saturday which was preceded by a great night on Friday.  As I have written many times, pray for this ministry, Bro. Abel and all who help in any way.

Unless something happens, all three of the remaining 2025 GRACE Ministries trips are now at capacity plus.  I will gladly add anyone to a waiting list but the prospects are not good.

Speaking of mission trips, thank you to the six ladies from the Friendship family who baked cakes for the University of South Alabama’s Baptist Campus Ministries auction this past Friday night.  Those cakes sold extremely well.  The proceeds will help college students spend six to nine weeks on the mission field this Summer.  Good stuff!

Congratulations to the Auburn basketball team for reaching the Final Four.  I have had Auburn as my pick to win it all since the season began.  I am also glad to see Florida in the Final Four.  SEC, SEC, SEC!

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