Pastor's Blog

Bible reading for today – Genesis 28:1-29:35, Matthew 9:18-38, Psalm 11:1-7, Proverbs 3:11-12

As I wrote the blog entry yesterday morning, I was unaware that just a few hours earlier Bob Henley had departed this life and entered Heaven.  Pray for his family as they walk through this valley.  It appears that the funeral will not take place until Saturday, 1/18.  However, please note that these plans are not finalized at the time of this writing (12:25AM).  Once the plans have been finalized, they will be posted here.

We were blessed with a great day in our services yesterday.  As usual, Pastor Jack did a great job of preaching.  God used him to speak to us.  Tonight provides us with the opportunity to see just how serious we are about revival!  There is no reason that we should not have a capacity crowd.  The service begins at 6:30PM.  It is my intent to have Pastor Jack in the pulpit by 6:50PM.  If you need to come  late, just come on and join us.  Pastor Jack has asked us to “fake it” and I encourage you to do so based on his definition of faking it!

We will open the youth building at 6:00PM for a time of prayer.  At some point between then and 6:30PM, Pastor Jack will be in the youth building for those present to pray over him.  If you can join us for this time, please do so.

The music portion of our worship services yesterday was great as well.  Thanks to Bro. Kerry, the soloists, the choir, and the instrumentalists for a job well done.

I have appointed an ad hoc committee to bring a recommendation to the Friendship family related to our video projection system.  The main projector is having some problems which were most evident during this past Thursday night’s service.  Bro. Chris is chairing that committee and will be joined by Tyrone Crawley, Rob Nevin, Liz Whalen, Jerry Whitmore and Raymond Wilkinson in consultation with Bro. Kerry.

No updates on Carolyn or Lindsey.  I will visit them today.  Debra Elliott will be having surgery this morning.  Bro. Kerry will cover that one.

Friendship family, lets be faithful plus some tonight by attending the service at 6:30PM!

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