MONDAY, 10/30/17

“As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” I Peter 4:10

Today’s Bible reading – Jeremiah 20-21; II Timothy 4

The Lord blessed and we had a really good day in our services yesterday.  Our children’s church did a very nice job of sharing a song in our 10:30AM service.  Heidi Butler gave a nice testimony regarding the bus ministry and the role it played in her life.  It was great seeing Sarah Ladnier and her children in our second service.  I appreciate Bro. Benny, our bus workers, our preschool church workers, our nursery workers and our children’s church workers.  Obviously, the Sunday School teachers deserve thanks as well.  A lot of people are involved in impacting the lives of these children to the glory of God.

Our choir director, Jeanette Bates, was extremely flexible yesterday morning by allowing the children to sing even though she had the adult choir ready to go.  I appreciate Jeanette’s understanding and flexibility.  A blessing!

TJ & Lindsey Vice coordinated the Hallelujah Festival and they did a nice job.  Of course they had tons of help including the young men who play basketball for Dylan Westbrook.  I am grateful to each person who helped in any way.  I am not sure what the numbers were but there seemed to be a steady flow for the entire two hours.

The highlight of the night came when the pumpkin cake baked by Witney Edwards was auctioned off.  The decision was made by me to auction off the cake and give the money to our Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions.  Gary Walton and Ross Hatcher were great sports in their bidding war which was eventually won by Gary with a bid of five hundred dollars.  Congratulations Gary and thanks for understanding the cause.  Gary gave the cake to Lisa and me for pastor appreciation.  What a nice gesture.  Lisa ate almost the entire cake last night!

GROW tonight at 6:30PM.

Prayer time tonight from 5:00 – 7:00PM in the auditorium.

I cannot stress enough the importance of this coming Sunday in the life of the Friendship family.  Really, really important Harvest Day.  Pray.  Attend.  Invite others.

Man, those Dodgers are killing me!  The good news is that they won one in Houston so the Series shifts back to LA for the next game or two.  Can they beat the Astros two in a row?  Ask me Thursday morning and I will let you know.

It is LSWho week for Alabama football.  Enough said.

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