The Easter ’09 weekend proved to be a blessed time at Friendship.  The most important thing is that we saw two professions of faith in our morning services – praise the Lord! 

The choir & drama team did a nice job of sharing the Gospel in song/word/action all three nights.  The children’s ministry/bus ministry had a good morning on Saturday of teaching/reaching the children.  We had really good attendance in all three of our morning worship services and a house full for Sunday night’s service.  Yes, God blessed and we had a wonderful weekend celebrating our risen Savior! 

Sharon Jardee is having surgery this morning and Lewis Jackson is having a test performed.  Pray for these folks. 

The funeral arrangements for Mary Brown’s sister are as follows:  visitation with the family this Wednesday, 4/15, from 1:00PM until the service time at 2:00PM.  All of this will take place at St. Mary’s by the sea Episcopal Church in Coden. 

The funeral service for Jamie Miller will take place on Tuesday at 2:00PM from a funeral home in Lucedale.  Jamie is related to the folks who own the business across the road from our church buildings.  She was 27 years old.  Pray for that family too.

We need men who are not afraid of heights to help us on the CAB roof this Saturday, 4/18, from 7:00AM until noon.  We need cordless drills with torque setting (if available), (electric drills with heavy duty extension cords will do too), ratchet sets, old towels/rags, & utility knives.  If you can help, please let me know so we can plan accordingly. 

I was pulling for Kenny Perry to win The Masters but it wasn’t meant to be.  I don’t play golf but I do enjoy watching The Masters and The U.S. Open. 

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