WEDNESDAY, 2/17/21
There will be no morning service today, 2/17. Is it “too” cold for us to have a service? No. However, I have taken into consideration that our most of our morning crowd consists of senior adults and I do not want them to have to get out as the temperature will be around forty degrees with the wind chill probably closer to thirty two degrees. This group is our most faithful group when it comes to attendance and I appreciate them. Pass the word, please.
Regular schedule tonight!
On Saturday, February 17, 1979, an eighteen year old young man held a bus meeting with four workers in hopes of basically resurrecting a bus ministry that was on life support. That was forty two years ago today. That eighteen year old young man never imagined in his wildest dreams that forty two years later he would still be on staff at Friendship and would have spent over thirty of those years as the pastor. Not to mention finding his wife from within the Friendship family and then being blessed with five daughters and eight grandchildren. To say the Friendship family has been good to me would be like the understatement of all time. God has used the Friendship family in so many ways to be great to me and my family. I have basically been on a honeymoon for forty two years! To God be the glory! I stand amazed!
Little known side note – I was unaware of it until years later but I was hired on a six months trial basis! True story! I am very grateful to Bro. Johnny Tucker for recommending me to Bro. Robbie and then thankful to Bro. Robbie for his willingness to take a chance on me. Bro. Robbie did an awesome job of mentoring me. Miss Peggy did an awesome job of keeping me laughing! I owe a great debt to Bro. Johnny & Miss Judy and Bro. Robbie and Miss Peggy.
So today I am counting my blessings! Wow!
I pray that you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus.
