Bible reading for today – Exodus 8:1-9:35, Matthew 19:13-30, Psalm 24:1-10, Proverbs 6:1-5

IMPORTANT – due to the wintry weather conditions in our area, we will NOT be having any services/classes/Bible studies this morning or tonight.  Please share this with other members of the Friendship family.  We had enough sleet/freezing rain yesterday and last night to make the roads slick.  The temperatures are not expected to get above freezing except for about four hours today so the icy conditions could exist throughout the day and into the night.  We do not want to be responsible for anyone possibly being in harm’s way in their travels to and from church.

I know most folks do not but I enjoy these colder temperatures and the wintry weather conditions.  I certainly do not want anyone to get injured due to the conditions but winter is supposed to be different from the other three seasons.  Wonder what Al thinks about these deep freezes that have affected the USA this winter?

As it was posted yesterday, Rob’s family has asked for privacy i.e. no visitors at the present time.  Please do not assume that you are an “exception” and go anyway.  Lets honor their request.  Pray for Rob’s healing.  He needs a touch from God.

Carolyn Blaylock looked and sounded much better yesterday.  She said that she felt better too.

Bill Goff was feeling good and would have gone home yesterday but his blood pressure is too low.  The doctor does not want to discharge him until he figures out what is causing this problem.

Visited seven folks in the convalescent home yesterday morning.  Everyone seemed to be doing well with the exception of Miss Mulkey.  She said that she simply did not feel well.

Carla Kyser had a scan on Monday and is scheduled to have another one today (if I remember correctly).  Pray for her to get good results.

I think that I heard that Courtney Hubbard recently got a good report from the doctors.

Larry & Judy Whitehurst got snowed/iced in up in Starkville after the funeral yesterday.  I imagine Larry will be home today regardless of the weather as there are only so many more days left in the deer hunting season.  Pray for their travels.

The church office is closed today but the ministerial staff stands by in the event of an emergency.

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