FRIDAY, 10/12/12
I spent the majority of yesterday at home studying so I do not have an update on any of the folks for whom we have been praying. As far as I know, Morris Dupont remains hospitalized.
I will be preaching a funeral service tomorrow for an infant who lived only one hour after birth. Pray for the Wittner family and for the service.
We are on a regular schedule for this Sunday. Lord willing, I will be preaching in the two morning services and the evening service. We “may” baptize as a part of Sunday night’s service if anyone desires to be obedient in that area of their Christian walk.
There will be a meeting this Sunday night immediately following the worship service for all folks interested in helping with the Hallelujah Festival. Lindsey & Daphne will update folks on what they can do to help. The times for the HF are 6:00PM until 8:00PM. Again, there will be no regular services/classes that day/night. Bags of candy are needed and can be placed in the basket in the fellowship hall.
Jerry & Gloria Whitmore are in Maryland visiting family. Their former pastor, Clyde Neidhammer, will be having a heart cath today in preparation for a valve replacement surgery on 11/1. Pray for him. Bro. Jerry will be preaching this Sunday morning in Pastor Clyde’s place so pray for that service too.
The pastors’ conference in Guatemala takes place next week (Tuesday – Thursday). Please pray for Eddie Burdette, Doug Chappelle, Abel Garcia, Clint Landry, Trey Lightner, Mark Mast and Terry Rainey as they travel and minister during this conference. We still could use scholarship money for the Guatemalan pastors. If anyone outside of the Friendship family is interested in helping, contact me for more information.
Read this morning where a mayor in a small town in South Alabama has admitted to stealing $201,000 from the town. So, things like that happen all the time, you say. Maybe. But this mayor is 91 years of age! She has been paying hush money too! Wow!
The Orioles were able to overcome the umps and the Yankees last night to tie that series. Game five tonight! Justin Verlander of the Tigers is just tough! Watched most of the WKU vs Troy game last night just because Troy is an Alabama team.
It is 2:30AM and Lisa has demanded that I be back from Walmart by 4:30AM today. Folks, she is tough! (Not the beast that Kay Fore Collins is but not far behind!)
I pray that you will have a great Friday with Jesus.
