Pastor's Blog

The team members all arrived home safe and sound yesterday afternoon/evening.  Sylaina Hinkle said it was the smoothest day of flying that she has ever experienced.  The Michigan folks had an uneventful day in their travels as did Kendall Hargraves as she flew to Houston.  We give God the thanks for His protection.

The teams final day was a good one.  The house dedications were special.  You just have to experience those to really understand just how special they can be.

Kendall Hargraves led approximately half of the children who are involved in our feeding center in presenting a program to the team.  It was precious!  Bible memorization and singing.  Good stuff.

The team then went to the adjoining farm and enjoyed a pizza supper.  Unique place.  Unique pizza.

Share time was pretty short and then everyone packed for home.

So, the trip was a success.  To God be the glory!

P.S. – You can read Deidra’s latest blog at shininglightabroad.com for a more detailed look at all this team did during their time in Guatemala.

“Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.” (Ephesians 4:32)

I apologize for not posting an entry yesterday.  No excuses.  Sometimes it just does not happen.

Bro. Jerry sent me a message telling me that he was discharged from the hospital yesterday afternoon.  That is good news.  Keep praying for his recovery.

Also, keep praying for Miss Gloria Whitmore as she continues in her recovery from her surgery.

Pray for Pastor John, Tammy and their family as Tammy battles a malignancy.

Pray for Larry & Judy as they continue to seek wisdom in how to proceed regarding Larry’s tumor.

Regular schedule this Sunday, 8/5, and, Lord willing, I will be in the pulpit all three services.  I sure hope to be joined by many members of the Friendship family.

Adult choir practice resumes this Sunday, 8/5, at 5:00PM.

Our deacons will meet this Sunday, 8/5, at 4:00PM.  This will be our new slate of deacons.
