Pastor's Blog

Someone checked on me over the weekend to make certain that I was okay since I did not post an entry Friday or Saturday.  Yes, I am fine.  It is nice to know that at least one of the four readers (we actually picked up one) cares!

Our Sunday was not where I hoped it would be but it was significantly better than the previous two Sundays in regard to attendance.  Obviously, it is Summer and we have folks who are “out of pocket” but there are plenty of us at home each Sunday to more than fill the house.  Thank you to those who are faithful!

The adult choir did a nice job of ministering in our service last night.  That was different but it was a good different!  The obvious highlight of the evening service was Wes Holifield’s public profession of faith.  God gives the increase and we give Him the glory!

John M. Ladnier, Jr., Kenny Lingle, and Carl Ray Moulds were selected by the Friendship family to minister as deacons beginning August 1.  Pray for these men as they join Herbert Benefield, Bill Kendrick, Rob Nevin, Max Peacock, Bernard Suthoff and Larry Whitehurst.

I am not going to try and list those who are hospitalized until I get updates today.  I know that Melissa Brown’s grandmother came home from the hospital.

GRACE Ministries now has a director for the feeding center to be built in Guatemala.  He will assume his duties on December 1, 2012.  We believe this is God’s man for this position and he feels the same way.  We give God the glory!

The okra patch calls!  I pray that you will have a great Monday with Jesus.
