Pastor's Blog

What is this?  A blog entry?  Wow!  I apologize for my “absence” since June 11 but my life was fairly busy.  Bro. Abel did a superb job of keeping me informed which allowed me to pray for those in need.  I offer no excuses.

Clinton Stringfellow spent Monday through Friday of last week in the hospital related to his treatments.  He was discharged but was admitted back to the hospital early yesterday morning.  Pray for Clinton.  I will visit him today.

Betty Hamil was discharged from the hospital and admitted to a rehab facility.  Yesterday afternoon she was discharged from that facility and is now at home.  Pray for Betty and Andy as they definitely need our prayer support.

Gary Walton continues to struggle with pain in his knees.  So much so that he had to miss our services yesterday which is unusual for him.  Pray for Gary & Rachel.

I have lifelong friends in Hartselle, AL who are in a battle with a malignancy.  Radiation treatments begin today at UAB.  Join me in praying, please.

The Lord blessed us with a really good day in our services yesterday.  I have received positive communication regarding both services.  All I can say is “thank You Jesus!”

Our time in Guatemala was blessed.  Very good team from the Friendship family, Grand Bay Ministries, Providence Baptist (Hatton, AL), New Life Fellowship (Anderson, SC) and from the Kalamazoo, MI area.  Our folks did a nice job of sharing in our service last night.

Our annual cake auction takes place this Sunday, 6/29, beginning at 4:00PM.  As far as I know, this auction will consist of cakes, pies and corn beef hash.  This is a critical part of our emergency food program related to GRACE Ministries and Colegio JET (school).  We need cakes and bidders.  We need prayer warriors too.  More details coming in my letter to the Friendship family later today.

Pray for our country.  Pray for Israel.  Pray for our military personnel.  Pray for our President and the other leaders.  Pray!

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