This entry is way late and I am aware of that fact.  Why?  No real reason other than just late.  My apologies!

On the prayer point today – Vinnie Brewer, Art Elliott, Ica Pearl Walley.    jack@danvillebaptist.org.  P.O. Box 70 Danville, AL 35619. (I will list the folks on the point for the next fews days at the end of this entry)

Wow, the rains came and came and came yesterday! I did not watch the news yesterday or this morning so I do not know our rainfall total for the day.  (Maybe one of our weather spotters can let me know the total)  What I do know is that the rain hurt our attendance in all three services.  We had good attendance but it was not what it would have been on the Sunday before Christmas.  I am very thankful to those who came in spite of the less than ideal weather conditions.

The adult choir did a great job of presenting the Gospel through song last night!  I appreciate Bro. Kerry and each choir member for all of the effort given to that night of ministry.  If you missed it. . . .  .

As far as I know, the Friendship family presently has no one in the hospital.  Praise the Lord!

David McElwee & Archie Sprinkle remain hospitalized in Birmingham.

Rumor has it that Miss Shirley Hill is having some health issues and is seeing a doctor today.  Bob Henley continues to be at home in his battle against cancer.  Mitchel Fox continues to have health issues.

Kent Bragg passed away on Saturday.  I did not know him but several members of the Friendship family did.  His funeral service takes place today at 2:00PM from Franklin Creek Baptist Church.

I am praying that a good number will attend our Christmas Eve service from 5:00 – 6:00PM.  The weather forecast is good.  This is an important service!  Attend and bring others with you.

We will have a special service on Thursday, January 9, 2014, beginning at 6:30PM.  Reserve the date!

The church office will be closed Wednesday, 12/25, and Thursday, 12/26.  Next week, it will be closed on Wednesday, 1/1/14.  No services, classes, et cetera this Wednesday, 12/25, or the following Wednesday, 1/1.

Tuesday, 12/24 – Lillian Brinkman, Oscar Petersen, Jerry Whitmore.
