Pastor's Blog

I realize that the students of the Friendship family do not read my blog entries.  That hurts but it is a harsh reality.  So, I need folks who do read the “blob” to pass the word and get it put on the other social media means the young people frequent.

First, there will be a swimming fellowship this Sunday evening, July 5, immediately following our 5:00PM worship service.  This fellowship will take place at the home of Larry & Judy Whitehurst.  Larry & Judy have graciously agreed to host this fellowship and will also be providing the food and drinks.  No two piece swim suits and all swimmers (male & female) need to wear a colored t-shirt at all times.  In order to attend the swimming fellowship you must be present for the entire 5:00PM worship service.  Are adult leaders invited?  I will leave that call to Larry & Judy.  I will attend just because I am, in some regards, the de facto student minister at this time.

Second, there will be a USMNT team watch party at our home on Monday, July 6, beginning at 6:45PM.  Lisa will be the host.  Stacey & Gayla Dyess have graciously volunteered to provide the main meal for this fellowship.  We have been asked if the students can swim and the answer is yes – beginning at 7:00PM and ending when the game ends.  Dress code for swimming is the same as the one at Larry’s & Judy’s.  Here is another catch – we anticipate a good attendance so we are asking that no adults attend unless invited.  (I plan on having a life guard in attendance at our pool.  I am married to an insurance agent!)

The Sunday night and Monday night fellowships are open to our rising sixth graders through the class of 2026.  No one younger, please.  These are the first youth events to which our rising sixth graders have been invited.  Pass the word!

Please help get the word out!  Let’s pack the pool on Sunday night and then have a great crowd Monday night too!
