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

Let’s begin with some good news!  This is what I received from Larry Whitehurst yesterday – “the oncologist did not see any damage to surrounding tissue from the radiation. The tumor has not grown. It does take an uncertain length of time for the radiation to kill the cells in the core of the tumor but 90 percent of the time it does work. We will follow up with another MRI in six months.”  Praise the Lord!  Larry & Judy have been trusting God through all of this and they continue to do so.  Keep praying!

Gloria Whitmore has been discharged from the hospital – are you kidding me!  What an amazing person Gloria is when it comes to going through surgery and then recovering completely like two hours later.  Seriously, pray for Gloria as she goes through rehab (which will probably be like two days!)

I am told that Miss Catherine Leach is doing well and has a great attitude.  She always seems to be one with a positive attitude.  Keep praying as she too will be in rehab.

Bro. Benny and our bus workers meet this morning at 8:30AM.  Pray for this ministry.

Our basketball leagues play today beginning at 8:00AM.  I think Marcus is working so that means Eddie is totally in charge – help us!  (I am going to see if Bob Evans can lend Eddie a hand!)  Pray for this ministry.

Evangelist Johnny Tucker will be our guest in the pulpit at Friendship this Sunday, 2/3.  Friendship family, please be faithful to attend all three services.  Remember, we will receive a love offering for Bro. Johnny in all three services too.  Pray and then give as the Lord leads.

The amount given and pledged to the school construction now stands at just under $522,000.  Amazing!  Just amazing!  We hope to continue receiving gifts and pledges as we would love to be fully funded for the first year before it begins and to have the third level completed as well.  Thank you to all who have prayed and to those who are giving.  What a blessing!  Glory to God!

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