First, I want to encourage you to read the comment attached to yesterday’s post.  Thanks to Elizabeth Sessions for sharing her thoughts with us. 

Wow, Tuesday was a Monday!  The Labor Day holiday and the hurricane have everything out of whack!  The schools reopen today so that will help life get back to “normal” around here. 

I have not been able to make phone contact with Danny or Angie LeBlanc but will try again today.  Robbie & Tia Heath live in the same area and, as of yesterday morning, Tina had not been able to make phone contact with them either.  So, we will try again today.  Pray for all of those affected by Hurricane Gustav.

Earl Kirschenman was taken by ambulance to a local hospital late yesterday afternoon.  He heart rate was too rapid and he is in an ICU room.  They will do a heart cath today.  Sarah Thornton’s brother, Henry Brown, is also in a local hospital.  He took a fall last week and broke one of his legs which required surgery and now therapy.  Melissa Brown’s grandmother, Helen Pugh, is having surgery today.  Pray for these folks! 

Our last two Sundays have been a little unusual because of Fay & Gustav.  So, we are extending the sign up for next summer’s GRACE trips by one Sunday.  Members of the Friendship family interested in being a part of one of these trips are asked to sign up by this Sunday.  If paying the deposit at this time presents a problem, please contact me personally and we will work it out. 

Our AWANA ministry begins this Sunday, 9/7.  Nicole Taylor needs to meet with the workers tonight at 7:00PM in the CAB.  AWANA workers – please be present for this meeting!

I am asking our deacons to meet with me tonight at 6:00PM in my office.  This meeting will be our regular monthly meeting which was originally scheduled for this coming Sunday. 

Mark Mast, I got your messages and e-mail yesterday – thanks!  I will get back to you. 

Today is a normal Wednesday for us with the morning service at 10:00AM and then the evening activities beginning at 6:00PM.  I pray that you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus.
