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

The surgery on Donnie Felps did not begin until early afternoon yesterday.  All went as expected and he is “scheduled” to be discharged today.  We shall see.  Pray for Donnie.  Pray for Marisa as she will be his caregiver once he gets home.

The church office is closed today and the rest of the week.

This is the schedule for this Sunday, 11/29, as it stands right now:  live stream at 8:00AM.  No music, preaching only.  Folks will be allowed to attend in person if they so desire.  Social distancing will be in place and those on the lower level will be asked to wear masks.  Evening service at 6:00PM with music & preaching.  The use of masks will be requested.  The 6:00PM service will also be live streamed.

We have a team of twelve folks scheduled to travel to Guatemala the dates of Tuesday, December 1, through Tuesday, December 8.  There will be one person from North Carolina, four folks from Danville, Alabama, two folks from Bay Minette, two folks from Mississippi, and three folks from Friendship.  The biggest challenge for this team is finding a PCR test within the seventy two hours from their departure.  Pray for each of them to find favor with a testing site.

Deidra cooked, served and fed a Thanksgiving meal to like one hundred and seventy five folks yesterday.  They consumed seven turkeys that weighed an average of twenty pounds.  Those folks prefer the dark meat and bones to the white meat.

On the home front, Gina continues to do well.  Lisa had some coughing issues last night.  I was premature in thinking Lisa was turning the corner.  As has been the case with others, the energy level is very low for Lisa.  Prayers appreciated.

I learned of another member of the Friendship family who tested positive yesterday.  Pray for all affected.

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