Pastor's Blog

Matt Everett remains in the hospital and that will likely remain the case until this weekend or maybe longer.  Matt has a very good attitude about it (0pposite of what I would be in that situation) and is just following the doctor’s orders.  Just my observation – men sure make good patients!  (Eyes rolling by the ladies reading this entry!).  Keep praying for Matt & Jennifer.

Pastor Mark Mast has now had two successful surgeries (cataract & cornea transplant) on one eye and they will now proceed with the other eye beginning tomorrow (cataract).  Pastor Mark is an amazing follower of Jesus.  Pray for Mark & Tina.

Speaking of Mark & Tina, their son Ben & his wife, Ireland, are expecting their second child.  The baby has a rare health and needs our prayer support.  Join me in praying for this family!

Regular schedule on our campus today.  I mentioned in yesterday’s “blob” entry how much I enjoy our Wednesday morning services.  One of our Wednesday night attendees stopped by the office yesterday afternoon and asked me “how about the Wednesday night services?  Do you not enjoy them?”  He was playfully asking and I know that but point well made.  Yes, I enjoy both Wednesday services!  The teaching is not that great in either service that will improve after today!  Just saying!

I have one request for this Sunday morning’s service which will be my final one as the pastor of Friendship Baptist Church.  The request?  Let’s have a standing room only attendance.  How can that happen?  If you attend and bring others with you.  I want this to be a “to God be the glory” service!

FYI, I will not be in attendance for the services on Sunday, 10/25, or Wednesday, 10/21 or 10/28.  Going to give a little space but then I will be back joining my church family in corporate worship.

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