YOUR FAVORITE CHRISTMAS HYMN IS. . . ?

This is the chance for members of the Friendship family to perhaps have their favorite Christmas hymn included in our Christmas Eve service this year.  All you have to do is e-mail me (pastor@friendshipfamily.net) no later than noon on Sunday, 12/22.  I will then take the top three or four and include them in our service.  Remember, hymns and not carols i.e. Rudolph, Jingle Bells, et cetera.  So, which of our thirteen readers will be first to submit a request?  (I just hope my computer does not crash due to the high volume of traffic!)

FRIDAY, 12/20/19

“Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” (Psalm 119:11)

Gloria Whitmore was discharged from the hospital yesterday afternoon.  Whenever I visited her yesterday morning she was pretty sore but otherwise was doing well.  Her goal is to attend our Christmas Eve service.  Pray for Gloria!

Raymond’s mother was expecting to be discharged from the hospital yesterday too.  I “think” that happened but I am not one hundred percent sure.  I do know that the plan is to admit her again after Christmas.  Pray for Mrs. Wilkinson.

Bro. Jerry could use help packing the food boxes in the morning at 8:00AM in the Preschool Building.  Should not take long if enough folks show up to help.

Second Saturday of our basketball leagues takes place tomorrow beginning at 8:00AM in the CAB.

Our bus workers will meet for the final time in 2019 at 8:30AM tomorrow before going out on visitation.

We will have our “white Christmas” this Sunday morning during our two worship services.  Need a bag, list or more information?  Contact Bro. Abel personally.  My hope is to have Pastor Mark Williams in both services for a brief few minutes.  We shall see.

All Youth department and Adult department Sunday School classed will meet collectively in the auditorium this Sunday morning, 12/22, at 9:15AM.  Teachers, would be a great idea for you to contact your class members today or tomorrow to remind them of this change and make sure they are going to join you.

Adult choir musical this Sunday evening beginning at 6:00PM.  Friendship family, pray, attend, bring others.

Christmas Eve service from 5:00PM until 6:00PM.  Let’s fill the house!

The church office will be closed i.e. no secretary next week but the staff will be in place Monday & Tuesday.  No one will be in the office Wednesday or Thursday.

Bob Evans leaves early this morning heading out of town for the next eleven days.  Sammy will be lost without Bob.  I was going to drive Bob to the bus station but Eddie Albritton insisted on doing it.  Eddie said Bob is like a second dad to him.  As a matter of fact, he got a little emotional just talking about it.  I think it is a bit weird but whatever!  Rachel Hatcher is not happy that Uncle Bob is going to miss the family Christmas!

One source says it is thirty three degrees right now while the other says it is thirty five so let’s go with thirty four.  It appears the rain begins tonight and will be with us through Sunday.  The temperatures are supposed to warm up considerably lifting us out of this deep freeze we have been experiencing the past couple of days.

We will have extra counselors on hand this Sunday.  Why?  When the students went to Wendy’s house last night to sing Christmas carols she had already taken her hearing aids off, her teeth out and her hair in rollers in.  Just saying!

Does Tua stay or go pro?  It is a sure thing.  (Johnny Five is today’s source!)

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