Good morning from the Mobile airport as I will soon board a flight heading to Atlanta and then connect to a flight to Guatemala City.  I appreciate prayers for traveling mercies.

One of Ann Clark’s sisters-in-law, Gaye Broome, passed from this life yesterday morning.  Arrangement pending.  Pray for the family.

Marie Brooks will have a consultation with the doctor today.  Hopefully, they can treat her soon as she is in much pain.  Pray for Marie.

What a blessing to worship with Laney Hyatt yesterday morning as she followed Jesus in believer’s baptism.

Praise the Lord!  The Friendship family gave generously yesterday to the love offering for Ronnie, Nanny & Sofi Calvert.  I am not going to list the total given until tomorrow for a couple of reasons but let me say “thank you” Friendship family for helping Ronnie & family.  I will write more tomorrow.

Brandon Baker, Joey Bosarge & Bill Kendrick rotated off as serving as deacons.  Paul Davila, Grant Tillman & John Whalen were duly selected to serve as deacons for the next three years.  We will ordain John & Paul on Sunday evening, February 11.

Our Finance Committee presented the 2024 proposed budget yesterday and it was approved by the church family.  I appreciate the work of this committee.  Pray that we will be faithful stewards of all God entrusts to us.

Thanks to Ingalls Avenue Baptist Church the Friendship family now owns a 2005 Chevrolet fifteen passenger van.  It should serve us well.

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