SATURDAY, 6/21/14
Today’s Bible reading – 2 Kings 1:1-2:25 Acts 13:42-14:7 Psalm 139:1-24 Proverbs 17:19-21
Visited with Bea Unrue yesterday morning. She remains in ICU and is on a ventilator. Obviously, she could not talk to me but indicated that she was doing ok.
Heard from my niece, Jamie, this morning that her mother-in-law, Margaret Ann, is not doing well. Of course, this is Bro. Johnny Tucker’s younger sister. Adam & Jamie are in China so I know this is weighing on him emotionally. Pray for this family.
I have not mentioned our “pound the pantry” emphasis in a couple of weeks. We have two Sundays left to bring non-perishable items to help stock our food pantry. Receptacles are in the foyer of the auditorium, hallway in the adult building, and fellowship hall. I do not know for a fact but am fairly confident that the 29ers have brought more than double what the 39eers have! Lets make these last two Sundays the best two of the month in this regard!
We will be recognizing several couples in the 10:30AM service tomorrow. Each of these couples have been or were (widows/widowers) married for fifty plus years. It is a joy to honor the institution of marriage and those who have been faithful to it!
Summer 2014 begins today at 6:51AM which means this will be the day of the year with the most hours of sunlight. Summer also means vacations, beaches, weekend trips, et cetera for folks from the Friendship family. I am glad that families get to spend some time away from the hustle and bustle of life. However, I encourage those who are in town to be faithful to the church by attending the services, serving, giving, et cetera.
We have our Celebration service tonight at 6:00PM and then all three (8:00; 10:30AM & 6:00PM) services tomorrow. Lets fill the Lord’s house to His glory!
Was able to get the gardening done yesterday morning and then some of the yard work. Charles did more than his share of the grass cutting yesterday so that is a huge help. Today will be spent mowing, weed eating, and studying for tomorrow.
I pray that you will have a great Saturday with Jesus.
