The arrangements for Melissa Brown’s sister, Gwen L. Gardner, are as follows:  visitation with the family from 11:00AM until the noon service time on Monday, 6/28.  Everything will take place from Serenity Funeral Home.  Keep praying for Melissa and her family.

Gayle just called to tell me that they are going to have a visitation on Monday, 6/28, from noon until a 2:00PM service time.  Everything will take place from Serenity Funeral Home.  Pray for the family.

I write with a very heavy heart this morning as I just came from visiting with Miss Janice Smith and her daughter, Gayle Thornton.  Billy Bon Smith passed away shortly before 8:00PM of an apparent heart attack or blood clot.  He was sitting in his recliner and had just spoken to Miss Janice.  She walked away to enter another room and he was gone to Heaven.  Billy was 70 years old.

In all probability the service will take place on Monday but nothing has been finalized.  I will post here once the arrangements are complete.

Pray for Janice, Gayle, Debra and the entire family.

The wedding last night was very nice.  The Lambert family must now turn their attention to making arrangements for the funeral service for Gwen.  Pray for them as they go through this process.  I will post the arrangements here once they have been finalized.

Bro. Chris & 80 others will leave at 2:00AM headed for Wild Week in Illinois.  They are scheduled to return home late Thursday night, 7/1.  Pray that they will have safety in travel and a great week spiritually.

Bro. Robbie will be in Shreveport, LA tomorrow preaching.  Pray for him as he travels and then as he preaches the Word.

I got word that Susan Blackmon Quinn is not doing so well.  I don’t know all of the details but do ask that you pray for her.  You can also read Pattie’s comments regarding Gage’s situation and a prayer request for her niece.

We are on a regular schedule for tomorrow.  Obviously, with 81 folks gone our numbers will be down but I pray that each member of the Friendship family in town will be in his/her rightful place.

Alisha Vice posted on her blog and all is well in Kenya.  Soy & Deidra are having a good time in China and were scheduled to visit Lottie Moon’s church yesterday.  You can read past comments from Eddie as to Soy’s condition.

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