First, I have to begin by saying a huge “thank you” to each person who showed up on short notice to help with the landscaping on our campus yesterday.  Wow, what a blessing!  Gary Walton supervised the group and everything that could be done got done even earlier than expected.  Yes, there were some professionals on hand to lead the effort but the others who came helped get the job done.  Thank you, Friendship family for coming through once again.

Clara Broadus’ surgical procedure went well yesterday.  They kept her in the hospital overnight but she should be discharged today.  Thank you for praying for Clara.  She is a sweetheart!

I do not know if Clinton Stringfellow was moved from the hospital yesterday.  I do know that, regardless, he needs our prayers.

Miss Bonnie Smyly is scheduled to have hip replacement surgery next week.  Pray for her.  Sheila Booker is to be thanked for helping Bonnie out in a great way.

Speaking of Sheila, our Ladies Helping Hands meets today beginning at 10:00AM in the Preschool Building.  All ladies invited to attend.

Our soccer leagues begin play this Satuday, 3/21, at 9:00AM.  I am asking even folks who do not like soccer (my hand is the first being raised) to come support the concession stand.  All proceeds will go toward our June GRACE Ministries mission trip (80%) and toward financially helping the John Peacock family (20%).  The concession stand will be open from 9:00AM until 1:00PM.  Five dollar combos include either a hamburger, Conecuh sausage or hotdog paired with french fries and a soft drink.  Best deal in town!  Best deal in the state!  Pray for Bro. Abel and our soccer ministry.

Still looking for folks to get on the meal train for John & Alaina Peacock.  We are going to provide at least three suppers per week for them through April.  Presently, we have folks lined up through April 2nd.  Contact Daphne Hutto at daphnehutto@gmail.com or (251) 533 4595.  Or, you can do as a couple did yesterday morning and simply give money to cover a meal (think pizza, et cetera).  I have no doubt that the Friendship family will come through again.  Thank you, Friendship family.

Regular schedule on our campus this Sunday with our evening service being very special as we will host the Roberson Trio.  These are relatives of JoNell Barnes.  Friendship family, come join us for this service.  A love offering will be received!

I pray you will have a great Thursday with Jesus.

P.S. – My wife is a happy camper as she has got to spend time with her friend, Mandi Fortner, this morning.  Plus, she is excited about her mission trip to South Africa.  (I am also excited!)
