Jodie Johnson’s dad, Floyd Zigler, was riding a train to California when he became sick and had to be placed in a hospital in Colorado.  He is now facing possible surgery and it could be serious.  Yesterday, Jodie was trying to get to Colorado.  Pray for Mr. Floyd and the family.

Bro. Kerry and his mom, Miss Edith, will travel to Gainesville, FL today as Danny Kelley is having surgery.  Pray for traveling mercies and for the surgery to go well.

Vera Bosarge’s sister, Juanita, continues to nurse her broken ribs and to wait to see if the mass that has been found is malignant.  Her son (Vera’s nephew), Robert, will have a MRI today.  Pray for this family.

Interesting to read that on the anniversary of the earthquake in Haiti much of the situation remains unchanged i.e. folks living in tents, et cetera.  It now appears that of the millions donated to the relief effort much of it has not gotten to Haiti.  The reasons are varied but it is not a good thing – in my opinion.

Dave & Donna Westhouse lead (actually Donna does the leading but it helps Dave’s ego to be listed) the first team of 2011 to the mission house tomorrow.  Pray for their safety in travel and for a blessed week of ministry.  The church in Moline has been so supportive of GRACE Ministries for many years and we are grateful.

We are on a regular schedule today with the morning service at 10:00AM and the closing service at 8:00PM.  I pray that many members of the Friendship family will join us.

We will have our first “potluck with the pastor” fellowship next Wednesday, 1/19.  Details to be announced in today’s morning service.

Pray for Rex Looney as he will most likely travel to Auburn this weekend to have his picture taken beside the NC trophy in Walmart.  (Remember all of the comments from folks last January about the trophy being in Walmart?)

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