Good morning, Busy weekend for the Friendship Family with folks coming in from Guatemala, Upward, RA Basketball, and the Children’s play along with the weekend services. This Wednesday night we will have a Tacky Sweater Christmas Party with students 6-12th grades and on Sunday we will have a BreakFEAST for our last Sunday School of the year with our 6-12th graders. On a last note we are looking for a stand up single door cooler that can be locked for the kitchen in the CAB. It will alleviate some of the confusion of use of the main double door cooler and give some room in the double door cooler to be used by others. If you have any suggestions on where to look for one please let me know. It will mainly hold drinks. Details on what’s coming up is below: In 140 characters or less: – 12/16 – Tacky Christmas Sweater Party (Last Wednesday of the Year) – 12/17 – Last day for MCPSS students before Christmas Break – 12/18 – RA Older & Younger Team vs. St. Patrick Catholic in Biloxi, MS – 12/19 – RA Basketball Games at Oak Park Church of God starting at 12:00 noon. – 12/20 – Sunday School BreakFEAST at 9:15am – 12/23 – No Services – 12/24 – Christmas Eve Service at 5:30pm – 12/27 – Only 10:30am Worship Service – 12/30 – No Services – 1/5 – First day of 3rd Quarter In 140 characters or more: Attendance Schedule December 16 (5:30-6:30p) – Lynne Watson January 6 (5:30-6:30p) – Eva Mareno January 20 (5:30-6:30p) – Sanna Collier January 13 (5:30-6:30p) –...

Good morning and welcome to the end of November, Hope you had a great Thanksgiving Holiday and are back in the swing of things this morning. It was a blessing to the GBMS teachers of all the desserts that were donated to them on Wednesday, Nov. 18th. They absolutely loved it and appreciated it greatly. Thank you especially to Sara Gaston for coordinating those outside the church family to participate also. It definitely helps in keeping the door open for us to have a Christian influence in the local public school, and if you didn’t know, that is something that is fading quickly in the US. Our first two games in Biloxi, MS with the RA Older basketball teams ended in losses but as I like to call it, there were some growing pains that we needed to endure before our regional season started. A big thanks to Zach Huhn for taking time to take Dustin Graham, one of our students to his GED assessment test on Friday, Nov. 20th. Dustin will begin classes this Tuesday at the Grand Bay Community Center so please pray for him as this is a big step in the right direction in his future. If you are selling calendars the day to turn in all your calendar money and leftover calendars is on Sunday, December 6th. At that point we will hopefully sell all remaining calendars. We have a couple things that are coming up and the information is below.
