I want to remind the members of the Friendship family that we are going to have our regular Bible studies/services today beginning at 10:00AM this morning.  All other Bible studies/classes and the 7:00PM service will meet as normal too.  

I am encouraging those folks who plan on attending the 7:00PM service to visit with the Womack family at Serenity Funeral Home before our service.  I would expect the crowd to be significant at Serenity tonight with the Womack family being so well known in Grand Bay.  So, I don’t figure the visitation will end at 8:00PM simply because of the number of folks present to pay their respects. 

Carla Kyser went for another treatment yesterday and will have one more next week.  She will then have a scan six weeks after that.  Please keep praying for Carla. 

I gave a false report about Vera Bosarge being in Huntsville to help her brother and his wife.  She was not able to make that trip due to some things happening here.  So, please continue to pray for Danny Vesper and his wife, Sheila. 

I received an e-mail from Rhonda Coleman with an update from Pastor Rodney’s situation.  He remains hospitalized and has had some anxious moments.  They think they have a handle on his condition now but he surely needs our continued prayers.

My life long friend and fellow pastor, Tim Keenum, and his family are walking through a tough spot right now as his father, Jimmy, continues to battle against cancer.  He is in a Birmingham hospital and has been pretty low in recent days.  Please pray for Mr. Jimmy Keenum and his family during this time. 

Our high school students going to Guatemala this summer will be sponsoring another GRACE meal this Sunday, 3/9.  I hope you will make plans to join us for this meal as it helps these students be a part of the summer mission efforts.

Please keep reminding yourself to “spring forward” this Saturday night as time changes!  Move your clock ahead one hour before going to bed on Saturday night.

I need to meet tonight with all persons planning on being a part of our November ’08 GRACE trip.    This meeting will take place immediately following the 7:00PM service.

I heard through the grapevine yesterday that someone is providing a vehicle for Bro. Jerry since his truck was totaled in the accident a few weeks ago.  I thank God for His provision for Bro. Jerry and thank the person providing this vehicle for being so gracious.

I hope you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus.
