Pastor's Blog

Good Monday morning to all of our readers (all eight of you) in cyberspace.  God blessed and we had a good day in our services yesterday.  We welcome Billy Ray Baber into the Friendship family by transfer of letter.  We rejoiced as Pastor Johnny Howard of Azalea Baptist Church baptized his grandchildren, Kenny & Kaleigh Cooper, as a part of last night’s service.  God gives the increase and we give Him the glory!  We enjoyed the ministry of our children’s choir under the direction of Kathy Wadkins last night too.

I won’t bore you with the details but know that “murphy’s law” was in full effect yesterday but God still blessed and we are thankful!

Pray for Anna Carol Bosarge, Ruby Gulley, & Rita Vice as they recover from their respective surgeries of last week.  Pray for Vera Bosarge’s brother-in-law, Arthur McRoy, as he has been admitted to the hospital.  Pray for Karla Teasley Bosarge’s family as her maternal grandmother passed away this weekend.  Pray for Susan Quinn, Carla Kyser, Joyce Bosarge, Lois Kirschenman, Bill Abendroth and John Gensler in their respective battles against cancer.  Pray for Donnie Felps & Oscar Petersen as they recover from their heart surgeries.  Pray for Jayne English as she remains hospitalized.  Pray for Edd Gillespie as he will have a MRI on Wednesday.  Pray for Docia Thompson’s brother & sister and their respective health issues.

Wes & Rebekah Bates are in New York as Wes is preaching in revival services and Rebekah is singing.  They began last night and will continue through Wednesday night so pray for them.

I tried to tell Chris Taylor that the Magic had been off too long and it showed yesterday afternoon.  Wow, the Celtics looked like champions – will it last?  Here’s hoping the Lakers can set the Suns tonight.  Have I mentioned that I don’t like Steve Nash?  Have I mentioned that Steve Nash could care less about whether I like him or not?

Here is your NHL playoffs update –

Mark Harris will be our guest this Sunday evening at 6:00PM.  Pass the word and be present!

I pray that you will have a great Monday with Jesus.
