Pastor's Blog

This will be an unusual Wednesday for the Friendship family as we will have no services/activities/Bible studies this morning or tonight.  The staff is in today but this is really due to having so many teachers/leaders out of pocket due to the season and the various schools being on Christmas break.  Remember, the church office is open today from 8:00AM – 5:00PM but there are no services.

The third pastor I ever had was Bro. Jack Freeman.  He passed away in March of 2000.  His wife, Miss Peggy, passed away on Monday and will be buried in Decatur, AL today.  Pray for the Freeman family.

Carla Kyser has an infection.  She went to the doctor yesterday and got some meds so hopefully she is on the mend.

Lisa and I visited with Bro. Jerry & Miss Gloria Whitmore yesterday.  She is doing great and wants to get back to church!  She is receiving “in home” physical therapy.

Found out yesterday that Derrick Wilkinson’s father is in a local hospital.  I do not have the details but do ask that you pray for him along with the others that have been mentioned.

FYI, the church office will be closed next Monday, 1/2/12, for the New Year’s holiday.  We will be open on Tuesday, 1/3, at 8:00AM.  (As per normal, it will be closed on Friday, 12/30)  Personally, I think we should make the following Monday, 1/9, a national holiday.  (If we were having a service tonight, Ross Hatcher would probably second that motion!)

Remember, we are on a regular schedule this Sunday, 1/1, with the exception of bus service and Discipleship Training.

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