“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 – 1 Corinthians 5-8
Found out yesterday that Miss Kathleen Henderson remains in the hospital. They are fairly certain that she will be discharged today. I will be checking on her following our morning service.
We are on a regular schedule this morning and evening. Hopefully, the Friendship family can settle back into a “normal” routine from now until school breaks for Christmas. Prayerfully, that “normal” will involve being faithful to attend our services.
If you are sponsoring a resident of the convalescent home for Christmas, we need your gift brought to the church either this morning, this evening or this Sunday morning or evening. You can simply place your gift in the foyer of the auditorium. Please make sure the name of the resident is on the outside of the wrapped gift. Thank you.
Our Girls In Action are once again sponsoring the GA Post Office for the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. If you are going to send Christmas cards to folks within the Friendship family then please use this service. Simply put the name(s) of the recipient on the envelope and place it in the “mailbox” in the foyer of the auditorium. You can then put $0.47 for each card in an offering envelope and simply mark “GA Post Office” on the designated side. All of the money will go toward our LMCO. The deadline for placing cards in the “mailbox” will be Sunday, 12/18.
We have twelve Yankees, five folks from outside the Friendship family and twelve members of the Friendship family who will be traveling to Guatemala this Saturday in order to celebrate Christmas with the families involved in our feeding center. Also, they will be building six houses and hosting six block parties for some very needy children in six different villages. Folks, this may be the best trip of the year for GRACE Ministries as it is definitely different from any other trip we host. Pray for this team. (I will be joining this team on Monday, 12/5, as I will be here for our services this Sunday)
I am praying that we will get some rain today. My prayers go to those families who lost loved ones in the Northeast part of Alabama early this morning due to the possible tornadoes.
Let me say “good morning” to Nanette Brooks Fontenot! Why? Really?
I pray that you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus.
