MONDAY, 12/11/23
The Lord blessed us with a good day of worship yesterday. Praise Him! For me, it was good to be back in the pulpit yesterday morning. So many members of the Friendship family were very gracious in their words of support and in welcoming me back. Thank you!
Our children’s choir did a nice job of sharing their musical in our evening service. They were assisted by a few members of our youth group. And the preschool choir under the direction of Leslee Harrington was precious! Thank you to Miss Tena Hovel for another job well done leading our children’s choir and to all who assisted her.
Yesterday marked Bro. Jerry Hovel’s final day on our church staff. We thank him for his years of ministry here and wish him the best as he moves into retirement.
Speaking of Bro. Jerry, the annual yard sale was his idea and he has always led it. Someone has volunteered to take over the leadership from this point forward. I am just checking to see if there is anyone else who desires this position. If so, you need to let me know no later than this coming Sunday, December 17, 2024. If not, I will allow the one who has already volunteered to assume the leadership.
The celebration of life service for Kristie Potts takes place tomorrow in Holland, Michigan. Lord willing, I will fly up tonight and back home tomorrow night. John & Krisitie are dear friends and huge supporters of GRACE Ministries. I did not think Kristie would live until I got back from Guatemala but she did and I am thankful for the opportunity to attend this service. My hope is to squeeze in some family visits while in Michigan.
If you have not brought your gift for the convalescent home party then please do so today, 12/11. The office will be open until noon and then from 1:00PM until 4:00PM today.
Regular schedule on our campus this Wednesday, 12/13. Important note for our men. Our buildings are in need of shingles. Tyrone Crawley has spent a great deal of time working on getting quotes, et cetera. So, we are going to meet with any men interested in learning more, giving input, et cetera following the 10:00AM and the 6:30PM service this Wednesday. I do not expect these meetings to be long but they are important. Pass the word!
I pray that you will have a great Monday with Jesus.
