TWO DRIVE IN SERVICES TOMORROW, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 2020

James Mareno is nothing short of a miracle worker!  He gave me a lesson in getting the transmitter up and running yesterday afternoon.  I went this afternoon for a solo flight and all went well!  Do you believe in miracles?

So, we will have a drive in service in the morning beginning at 10:00AM.  We will meet on the East side of the auditorium.  Folks attending will remain in their vehicles and I will be standing under the carport.  The Bible study will be broadcast over the radio.

We will then do a repeat at 6:00PM.  Same Bat station!

In my opinion, this is a safe way to meet without actually coming in contact with anyone else other than those in the vehicle with you.  However, each person must decide what is safe for them.

I can foresee this being the way we will be going until the time comes that they allow us to meet in person for corporate worship.  It is not the same but it beats any other option for the time being.

So, please pass the word and make plans to join us for one of the services tomorrow.

Footnote – our main service this Sunday, April 19, will also be of the drive in variety.  It will begin at 8:00AM on the back forty.  My prayer is that a very large number of the Friendship family will join us for this service.

PRAYERS FOR CAROL LUCKY

Carol Lucky was receiving her dialysis treatment this morning when she experienced a problem with her blood pressure.  She was transported via an ambulance to a local hospital and was placed in ICU.  They have put her on a ventilator.  Obviously, Terry was not allowed to enter the hospital and the nurse told him to go home and they would keep him updated via the phone.  Pray for Carol and Terry.

TUESDAY, 4/14/20

“So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.” Colossians 3:12-15 (NASB)

We will have a drive in service tomorrow morning, April 15, at 10:00AM and then again tomorrow evening at 6:30PM.  Everyone must stay in their vehicles.  I will be under the carport on the East side of the auditorium and folks are asked to park where they can see me. That can even be over in the office entrance.  Pass the word and come join us for one of these Bible studies.  There will be no online version of these Bible studies.

Kendall Falana’s son, Kendall, Jr, and his family live in the Chattanooga, TN area.  Their house took a direct hit from a tornado on Sunday.  Everyone is ok but they lost one vehicle and the house sustained damage.  Kendall & Leah left yesterday afternoon to go give them assistance.  Praise God for His watch care over this family.  Pray for all involved.

Kent Blaylock was taken by ambulance to the hospital Sunday.  He was admitted.  Obviously, he cannot have visitors.  Pray for Kent.

Karla Bosarge will have surgery early in the morning.  Pray that all goes well.

I will be preaching a graveside service this afternoon.  I do not know the deceased or the family.  They connected to me through Lisa’s office.  Pray for that service.

Keep praying for Marie Brooks’ brother.

Keep praying for Myrtle.

Keep praying for Andy Hamil.

My plan as of this morning is to have an online message (7:00AM) followed by a drive in service (8:00AM) this Sunday morning, April 19.  The drive in service will be followed by an online Sunday School lesson at 9:00AM and then Power Up online at 9:30AM.

The hope is that many members of the Friendship family will gather at 8:00AM for the drive in service.  We will position the stage out by the power pole on the South side of the CAB which will allow folks to have a view of the stage.  Once again, everyone must remain in their vehicles while on campus.  I have had a good number of folks tell me what a blessing it was this past Sunday just to be able to come to the church campus and to see other members of the Friendship family and guests.

Obviously, the online message, Sunday School lesson, and Power Up will all remain online all day Sunday so a person can watch them at the time of their choosing.

The church office is open today from 8:00AM until 3:00PM.

The Friendship family has done well in giving their offering during this unusual time.  I encourage you to continue to do so.  Drop your offering by the church office or in the drop box at Lisa’s office.  Mail a check to P.O. Box 756 or give online 24/7.  I am calling on our younger folks to give online.  Our senior adults are being very faithful in giving through the mail or by bringing their offering.

Of course, my real hope is that this Sunday we will have a great crowd for our 8:00AM service and that folks will simply “bring” their offering with them.  That will be awesome!

Today is day six for Bob Evans and his self quarantine.  He says that his vehicle has not moved.  Does it count as a self quarantine if you leave the property to go for Easter lunch elsewhere?  Asking for a friend!

I pray that you will have a great Tuesday with Jesus.  Remember tomorrow’s drive in services at 10:00AM & 6:30PM.  Attend!
