Happy Monday to you all, Sunday we embarked on a journey toward revival. It was great seeing adults and students coming to the Lord in last night’s service. Please do not miss out on hearing Wade Morris speak this week. He will be speaking every night at 6:30pm finishing out on Wednesday night. We had a great quick trip to Danville, AL to help with their block party and the students really did a great job of serving. The breakfast also went well as all the food was gone and I believe everyone got enough to eat. Thank you to those who supplied food for the breakfast and helped with it yesterday morning. Every night this week we will have activities and food in the CAB for students that attend the revival. We will close up at 8:30p.

Good morning everyone, School has officially started for MCPSS students. I hope that everyone will get back into the swing of things pretty quickly and we can begin to see the numbers on Sundays and Wednesday rise. The feeding for the GBMS staff went exceptionally well as they loved it. Gave us a chance to meet some of the new teachers as well as talk to a number of the veterans. Big thanks to Jim and Glenda for cooking everything, and Trish, Kerri, J.T. & Alexus for helping and eating the leftovers. We are 7 days away from Wade Morris being with us. I highly encourage you to begin praying now. If you have not heard, we will have open prayer times throughout the week for you to come pray for the revival services. You can check those out on Bro. Teddie’s blog (friendshipfamily.net/pastorblog). More on the services below This year we have school representatives at GBMS and BHS. Brooke Ladnier will be our GBMS school representative and Adriana Arriola & Caleb Watson will be our BHS representatives. They will help us to plan and coordinate things with the school as well as keep us informed with the happenings there. Our youth committee has been set for the upcoming year with some new additions.

Good morning summer is about done, We are exactly one week away from the first day of the MCPSS 2015-2016 school year. If you would like a schedule of the year here is a link: goo.gl/LTxR0M I was wrong as this week is the last Wednesday of the summer that Youth Works will be with us and working in our community. This Wednesday is also the first Wednesday our upcoming 6th graders will be coming up and the upcoming 9th graders will be coming into the high-school Bible study. Emails have been sent out requesting members for the 2015-2016 youth committee. If you didn’t receive an email it most certainly doesn’t mean you cannot continue to serve in the youth ministry, we just try to rotate those serving on this committee and give new opportunities to those who haven’t had the chance to serve.

Good morning, Yesterday was the last Sunday of the church year which means this is the last Monday update of the 2014-2015 church year. I will send another email behind this one about GO Camp as there is more information that I would like to share than send it here. This Wednesday night will be the last Wednesday for our Seniors and up. I have been trying to prepare them mentally for the move and hopefully it will be a smooth transition with them. I’ll be encouraging them to go to the College and Career Bible Study at Bro. Teddie’s this Wednesday and will be going with them over there this Wednesday to help the transition. Encourage them when you see them to go. This Wednesday, I believe, will also be the last Wednesday the groups from Youth Works will be with us. They have definitely been a blessing and I hope that we have been so to them also. Next Wednesday, 8/5, will be the last Wednesday for the upcoming 9th graders to be in the Junior High Bible study and the first Wednesday for the upcoming 6th graders to be a part of The Foundation. At the beginning Bro. Jim will send the upcoming 9th graders onward to the Gym.
