Pastor's Blog

I have corrected my earlier entry where I stated that Pastor Johnny Howard had been in the hospital.  I was wrong!  It is Glenn’s dad, Glenn Cooper, Sr. who was hospitalized and will hear from the doctor on Friday.  Pastor Johnny is Carla’s dad and he is fine!  My apologies to all involved!

I realize that Lloyd & Edna Stokes are not members of the Friendship family but they are definitely long time members of the community and friends to so many of us.  Please note that the visitation with the family will take place tonight from 5:00 – 8:00PM at Oak Park Church of God on Sollie Road in Mobile.  The funeral service is set for tomorrow.

Edwin & Eula Mae Blackmon traveled home yesterday.  Please pray for them as they now make plans for the memorial service which takes place this Saturday, 7/17, beginning at 7:00PM.  The service will be preceded by a time of visitation with the family beginning at 6:00PM.

Pattie commented on Gage Hudson’s situation yesterday.  He is finished with his chemo for the month and definitely needs our continued prayer support.  The same support is needed for his mother, Callie.

Glenn Cooper, Sr.  spent some time in the hospital over the past couple of days.  It is my understanding that the doctors will be meeting with Mr. Cooper and his family to discuss their findings.  Pray for him and his family.

Bro. Robbie Howard will have a heart cath done tomorrow.  Miss Joyce Bosarge sees a doctor tomorrow about her continued pain.  Pray for both of these situations.

I don’t have a FaceBook account so I realize many of our blog readers (we only have three but it sounds good to say “many”) are keeping up with Chris & Nicole via FB.  I received an e-mail from Chris and they are doing well and are headed to Hong Kong.

Lisa & I had the privilege of visiting with Pat & Dee Patterson in Powder Springs, GA yesterday on our way home from SC.  We enjoyed our visit with them.

We were able to get home in time to vote.  I was not surprised that Robert Bentley won for a number of reasons.  Josh Woods is probably in the hospital over this one but he will recover!  Who did I vote for?  Wrote in Pastor Jack Bailey!

Regular Wednesday.  The deacons are asked to meet with me at 6:00PM in my office.  I pray you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus.

P.S. – Is the World Cup over?
