THURSDAY, 12/6
We continue to study the book of Romans on Wednesdays and yesterday we looked at chapter 12, verses 13 – 16. We spent a good deal of time on verse thirteen discussing what it means to “distribute to the necessity of the saints” and being “given to hospitality.” This season of the year provides the opportunity to minister to the needs of fellow Christians and to pursue friendliness with strangers i.e. angels unaware? I encourage you to look for those opportunities.
Sara Nell Moulds did well through her surgery and will now be in the hospital for a few days. Rachel Long hopes to be discharged from the hospital today. I am hearing that Blake Stokes continues to get good reports from the doctors at M.D. Anderson. Last night, we were asked to pray for Tom Russell, a teacher at Faith Academy, who is also at M.D. Anderson this week being evaluated.
Bro. Kerry and our senior saints are scheduled to return home at some point today. Pray for their safety in travel.
Our senior high students will have a “game night” tomorrow night from 7:00 – 10:00PM in the student ministry building and CAB. Y’all come!
We will receive a special offering for the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for international missions this Sunday. I ask the members of the Friendship family to join us in reaching/exceeding our goal. Please use the GA post office to send Christmas cards to fellow members of the Friendship family.
Folks who “adopted” a resident at the GBCH for Christmas need to bring those gifts to the church no later than this Sunday, 12/9, as the party takes place next Wednesday, 12/12.
Today is my father-in-law’s birthday so best wishes to Charles for a great day. I only know that he is older than me and that he will outlive me in order to keep me out of his will! Happy birthday Charles!
I hope you will have a great Thursday with Jesus!
