As I am preparing to leave Guatemala bound for home, I wanted to remind the Friendship family of three important things.  First, we are going to receive an offering this Sunday, 2/24, to help Jon Cowart in his quest to get another vehicle.  His was stolen during our revival services.  This is a love offering and should be given above your regular offering to the Lord through the church. 

Second, the Taste of Friendship takes place this Saturday, 2/23, from 4:00 – 7:00PM.  This is a major fundraiser for our students attending Wild Week ’08 and your participation is vital to its success.  I believe tickets can be purchased at the door.  You can contact Diane Vickers, Tena Hovel, or Melissa Brown via the phone if you have any questions. 

Third, we will observe the ordinance of baptism this Sunday evening as a part of our worship service.  All baptismal candidates should meet with me at 5:00PM at a location TBA during our morning services. 

I want to add one prayer request.  Jimmy Keenum is in a Birmingham hospital battling cancer.  One of his sons, Tim, pastors a church in the Athens, AL area.  Tim and I attended school together for all twelve years during our elementary and high school years.  As it comes to your mind, please pray for Mr. Keenum. 

O by the way, the container that left our property on 2/13 is in Guatemala and was supposed to be at Casa Aleluya yesterday.  Wow! 

I hope you will have a great day with Jesus.  Pray for us as we travel!
