SPECIAL SERVICE THIS SUNDAY NIGHT, JUNE 21, BEGINNING AT 5:00PM

I had to get a final confirmation before I could publicize our special Sunday night service.  Our evening service will begin at 5:00PM and will feature the musical worship of Al Stokes and the praise team from the Grand Bay Ministries Church of God.  I am very excited to have these folks coming to lead us in worship before Dr. Michael Mason brings us the Word.

So, please note the earlier starting time and pass the word.  I expect that we will be out around 6:30PM.

Remember, we will receive a love offering for Michael Mason in all three of our worship services this Sunday.

THURSDAY, 6/18/20

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”  (Psalm 46:1)

Obviously, there was not a blog entry yesterday.  No problem.  Just not an entry.

Let me begin by reporting that Jo Nell Barnes surgical procedure went well on Tuesday.  Praise the Lord!

Mary Jackson remains in the hospital but is doing better from what I understand.  Keep praying!

Ethan Nelson’s sister, Carissa, passed from this life last week.  The visitation will be tomorrow, 6/19, from 10:00AM until 2:00PM at the Oddfellow’s Lodge in the bayou.  I “think” the service begins at 2:00PM.  I have been asked to lead the graveside portion of the service.  Pray for the family.  If you are helping with the food for the family, you can contact Lindsey Vice if you have questions or need information.

Jonny Gaston and his family definitely need our prayer support.  Jonny is struggling with this whole situation.  Lift him and his family up in prayer consistently.

Several folks have asked about Larry Crawley.  Larry is not going to know anything new or different until he meets with the doctor this Monday, 6/22.  Just keep praying.

Tim Knighten’s surgery is still scheduled for Monday, 6/29.  Pray for Tim!

I did not attend the morning service yesterday as Bro. Abel preached/taught in my absence.  As a matter of fact, I have not spent much time “on the job” this week.  I did attend the service last night and Dale Bosarge did a nice job teaching us.  I was near the front so I did not get a look at the numbers but Bro. Abel tells me the morning attendance was really good.  I appreciate these brothers filling in for me.

Evangelist Michael Mason will be our special guest this Sunday in our 8:00AM and evening service.  (I am working on a possibility that could change our evening service time)  I will be preaching in the 10:30AM service.  We will recognize the oldest father and mother present in both of our morning services.  We will receive a special offering for Dr. Michael in all three of our services.  Pray and then give as the Lord leads.

Wow, I have received so much correspondence since the service this past Sunday night.  Folks have written some really powerful stuff.  I do not believe all of it but I am very thankful for the many kind and encouraging words.  I have always said that some of the finest folks I know are members of the Friendship family and that is proving to be true to me through this chapter in my life.

Received some really great news last night!  Will not provide a spoiler alert but will say “to God be the glory!”  You will know soon enough.

Lisa and I are very proud of our daughter, Dana, as she passed the test yesterday to become licensed in insurance.  The test is administered by the State and is tough.  So, congratulations to Dana!

Special thanks to Will Reynolds for a helping hand in another situation.  We are blessed.

I will not be in the office today.  I have a lunch appointment but otherwise will just be around.  Bro. Jerry & Bro. Abel are available, if needed.  The church office is open from 8:00AM until 4:00PM.

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