First, the funeral arrangements for Jonathan Seaman are as follows:  visitation in the church auditorium tonight, 9/24, from 5:00 until 9:00PM and tomorrow from 1:00PM until 2:00PM.  The service will take place tomorrow, 9/25, from the church auditorium beginning at 2:00PM.  Interment will take place in the Grand Bay Cemetery. 

Second, Vance May, passed away Saturday, 9/22, at the UAB Hospital.  His funeral service will take place tomorrow at noon.  The obit in the paper says the service will take place from the chapel of the Serenity Funeral Home but I have been told it is going to be a graveside service.  Interment will be in Serenity Memorial Gardens.  Vance is the brother of Linda May and Nancy Lingle and they both are a part of the Friendship family. 

I visited with Martha Patrick this morning and she was thinking that she would be moved from the hospital to the convalescent home today.  Marie Howard, Jennifer Jackson’s mom, is in the hospital again.  Carla Kyser, Melanie Byrne, and Crystal Davis all continue to battle their respective cancer.  All of these folks need to be included in our prayers.

The Lord blessed and we had good services yesterday.  Honestly, I thought the rainy weather would cause our attendance to be down but it was very good in all three services – praise the Lord!  We had decisions in each service and Edna did a nice job of sharing what the Lord had laid on her heart during the 10:30AM invitation.  God is good and we give Him the glory for all He is doing within the Friendship family. 

We are on day twenty-one of our forty days of prayer.  We must pray!  Please take the time to come to the auditorium to join us for this season of prayer and fasting. 

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