Phil Sims’ sister, Kaye, passed away last weekend.  A memorial service will be set at a later time.  Pray for Phil and his family.

The arrangements have been set for Brenda Moss’ service.  The visitation with the family will take place from 9:00AM until the 11:00AM service time on Saturday, 8/6, at First Baptist of Grand Bay.  The Friendship family has been asked to help with the food for the family i.e. casseroles, side dishes and/or desserts.  Carol Lucky is coordinating this as far as the Friendship family is concerned.  All food should be taken directly to 1st Baptist.  Pray for Larry and the family.

Shirley Watts did have her surgery and did well through it.

Tommy Johnson’s mother, Miss Willa Dean, took a fall and broke her hip.  She will be undergoing surgery today.  Pray that all goes well.

David Bosarge’s mother, Miss Maxine, is in the hospital.

I am thinking that Kerri Lastorka’s sister, Kim, may be discharged from the hospital today.

There will be a meet and greet with the Palmer family tonight beginning at 7:00PM at Rob & Reb Nevin’s house.  RSVP.  This family has been in our budget for a few years as they have been serving in Morocco.

Randall Broome sent me a message to say that there were fifty one women present for the service at the McKemie Place this past Tuesday night.  Jeff Holyfield brought the message and nine women prayed to receive Jesus as their personal Savior.  Amen!

Josh is leading a small group of our high school students on a spiritual retreat today, tomorrow and Saturday.  They are at the beach.  Pray for this to be a spiritual high for all involved.  Thanks to Terry Lucky for driving them!

Regular schedule on Sunday morning and evening.

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

Kerri Lastorka’s sister, Kim, did well through her surgery and the doctors are optimistic that no more surgery will be needed.  She should be discharged from the hospital on Friday.

Bernard is receiving his radiation treatments early each morning.

Received word yesterday morning that Brenda Moss passed from this life.  Pray for her family as they walk through this valley.  I have not received any word as to the arrangements.

Pattie Suthoff has a great-nephew who is in a Brimingham hospital.  It was thought yesterday morning that he would not survive but the word was more positive last night.  He is twenty four years old.  Pray for him.

Regular schedule today and tonight.  Fare for tonight’s 7:30PM Bible study is ham, macaroni & cheese, green beans, bread, drink and strawberry shortcake.

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

Linda Green’s sister, Shirley, will not be having surgery today as scheduled.

Kerri Lastorka’s sister, Kimberly, will be having surgery this morning as they will remove a little more of her leg due to possible infection.  The hope is to stay below the knee long term.  Pray that all goes well and the infection stays away.

I failed to mention in yesterday’s entry our prayer time last night.  Had made arrangements for it before I left home last week but have not gotten a report on it.  We are definitely on for next Monday, 8/8.

Regular schedule tomorrow morning and evening.

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

I learned from Rhea that Linda Green’s sister, Shirley, is scheduled to have surgery on her broken hip tomorrow.  Pray that can take place and that all will go well.

I heard that our services were “good” yesterday.  Not exactly sure all that involves but am thankful that things went well.

I did hear from Josh that we had forty students go play lazer tag last night.  That is great.  However, the greater news is that one young girl prayed to receive Jesus as her personal Savior as they were involved in the lazer tag game.  Now that is good stuff!  To God be the glory!  By the way, special thanks to Morris Bryant for driving the bus to this outing.  I am grateful!

Yesterday marked the end of our 2015-16 church year which means that today marks the beginning of our 2016-17 church year.  What a blessing it would be if we could make this the greatest church ever for the Friendship family to the glory of God!  It is possible!

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