FRIDAY, 11/18/16
“Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.” (Psalm 19:14 KJV)
Today’s Bible reading – Acts 7-8
Sharon Jardee is scheduled to have surgery at some point today – most likely in the afternoon. Pray that all will go well and that the doctor will be able to correct the problem.
Lindsey Hatcher is expecting and has been put on bed rest. I do not remember her exact due date but do know it is some time in December. TJ told me last night that the possibility is good that she will give birth next Wednesday. Obviously, it could happen sooner. Pray for Lindsey and the baby.
The meal yesterday for the senior adults was a huge success! I cannot begin to say “thank you” enough to each person who helped in any way! What a blessing you were! Jennifer Brown did a nice job of sharing the Word in song. Pastor Bubba Sawyer, 1st Baptist Fairhope, AL, did a nice job of sharing the spoken Word with us. I had never met Bubba before but what a nice gentleman. So, we give thanks to many but we give the glory to One! Our God is an awesome God!
The bus ministry Thanksgiving meal takes place this Sunday, 11/20, immediately following the 10:30AM service. Pray for this to be meaningful time for those families.
All boxes for Samaritan’s Purse must be turned in this Sunday morning, 11/20.
The Grand Bay community Thanksgiving service takes place this Sunday night, 11/20, beginning at 6:00PM at the 1st United Methodist Church. I encourage the members of the Friendship family to attend this service as there will be no service, class, Bible study, et cetera at Friendship.
Lazaro & Glendy Suruy are presently in Pell City, Alabama. They are scheduled to arrive in Grand Bay next Tuesday, 11/22, and stay until Saturday, 12/3. Two things – if you want to host them for a meal (in home or eat out) then this will be on a first come, first served basis. (Thanksgiving Day is not an option) I will be the point man for scheduling them so contact me via e-mail.
If you want to give them personal items to take back to Guatemala, please remember that they have very limited luggage space. You will need to be willing to pay/help pay for an extra suitcase or two.
Wow, did Houston put it on Louisville or what last night! I would say so much for their playoff chances. Arkansas State put a similar whipping on Troy. Did not see either of those coming! That is one of the reasons that I love college football!
It is sad. Real sad! Soy and Rusty are no longer BFFs. I asked Soy on Wednesday night, “where is Rusty” and he told me with tears in his eyes that he did not know as they have not spoken in weeks. I offered to counsel with him but he said it was just too emotional right now. Wow!
I pray that you will have a great Friday with Jesus.
