Today’s Bible reading – 2 Samuel 12:1-31 John 16:1-33 Psalm 119:65-80 Proverbs 16:4-5

Karla Teasley’s dad, Bill, is battling cancer and has been receiving treatments.  Yesterday, he was admitted to the hospital and they are saying pneumonia.

Miss Bryant remains in a rehab facility.  I have plans to visit her today and will know more about the expected duration of her stay.

Leslie Williams posted a comment on yesterday’s blog asking prayer for a student at her school.  You can read the comment to know how to pray.

Jerry Whitmore shared a prayer request with me this past Sunday morning involving their oldest son, Brian.  I would ask you to pray for Brian & Dawn.

We are going to host the preaching ministry of Illusionist Bryan Drake this Sunday evening, June 1, during our 6:00PM service.  A love offering will be received to help Dale & Karla get through the months of June, July & August which can be tough on evangelists.  Please pray, attend, and come prepared to give as the Lord leads.

Also, on the schedule for this Sunday, 6/1, is a mandatory meeting for all those from the Friendship family taking part in the June 12 – 19 GRACE trip.  The meeting will take place in the youth building as soon as the evening service ends.  Please note the mandatory part!

Our VBS takes place the dates of Monday, 6/9, through Friday, 6/13, from 9:00AM until noon.  This is an important week in the life of the Friendship family.  As always, prayers and workers needed.  VBS overlaps with the mission trip so extra folks to work in VBS  will be appreciated.  Contact Myrtle Bowden if you need more information or would like to volunteer to be a VBS worker.

On Sunday morning, June 22, during the 10:30AM service we will honor the institution of marriage by recognizing all of the couples within the Friendship family who have been married for 50 years or longer.  This includes those widows/widowers who were married for 50+ years before their spouse passed from this life.  We ask these couples to please call the church office to let us know that you will be in attendance for this special service.  We need to get some information from you.  Thank you!

Memorial Day 2014 was a restful day for me.  Did a little work in the garden early, spent a little time in Lisa’s office, and then just enjoyed family time.  Levi & Brianne came over in the evening to show off her engagement ring and to set their wedding date.

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