Today’s Bible reading – Zechariah 4:1-5:11 Revelation 14:1-20 Psalm 142:1-7 Proverbs 30:21-23

Bro. Chris Taylor went to Birmingham yesterday to visit with Levi Westbrook (home) and Pastor Alben Gaston (hospital ICU).  Basically he said that both men are doing ok all things considered but have a long road to recovery.  Keep praying for them.

(He also said that the Galleria was really crowded and that Jim & Nick’s has really good bar-b-que!)

I continue to encourage members of the Friendship family to attend the Christmas Eve service tomorrow beginning at 5:00PM and ending at 6:00PM.  Make it a family tradition!  It is going to be a special service with the Lord’s Supper, lots of singing, special music (including the specials from this past Sunday morning) and some brief thoughts on Christmas.  I am praying for a full house.  The weather is supposed to be pretty nasty today but then be beautiful for tomorrow.  O come let us adore Him!

I failed to receive a special offering for the LMCO this past Sunday morning.  Therefore, we will do so in the service tomorrow night.  Pray and come prepared to give.  Thanks!

I was thinking about Billy Bon Smith yesterday.  Why?  Just thinking about folks like Miss Janice who will spend another Christmas without that special someone in their life.  I encourage you to remember someone who will be in that situation this year and to pray specifically for them today.  By the way, Billy Smith was a great Christian, church member, friend & supporter, and a very proud Marine!  I miss him!

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

P.S. – Friendship family, remember that we will only have one service this Sunday and that service begins at 10:30AM.  Hope to see you there!
