Saiints,,

The final call on whether Revival for tonight will be cancelled will be made at 6:00 p.m.. We are waiting to see if power will be restored to the church by then. Please stay tuned for an update at 6:00 p.m. today, July 10, 2024. Prayerfully everyone is well and safe.

Blessings!

It is easier to build strong children than it is to repair broken men.  This vision statement adopted for the Youth Church is a recognizable reality, however, it is also a biblical principle.

This Pastor is grateful to the Lord and justifiably proud of the great kids we have here at Friendship.  We celebrate them and their many accomplishments.  As they continue to grow in the grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I have twelve things to say to them:

• Good going!!
• Great!!
• Fantastic!!
• Excellent!!
• Wonderful!!
• WOW!!
• Good work!!
• Superb!!
• Congratulations!!
• I’m very proud of all of you!!
• Keep it up!!
• I knew you could do it!!

Dear Members,

It is with profound gratitude and an all-encompassing heart of love that I want to thank you for an extraordinary anniversary. Words are so inadequate when it comes to telling you how much this anniversary blessed Sister Jones and me. First of all, there was such an outpouring of love. It was certainly a “And we beseech you, brethern, to know them which labor among you, and are over you and the lord, and admonish you; And to esteem them very highly in love with their works sake” (1 Thess. 5:12,13) caring event that was taken from God’s playbook (the Bible). Your love for your pastor and his family was (and is) evident in every facet of the anniversary. (You do know how to honor your pastor.) I must tell you, the outpouring of love the caring spirit, exemplified by the membership, has humbled this pastor. I am like King David in 2 Samuel 7:18: “Then went King David in, and sat before the Lord, and he said, Who am I, O Lord God? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?” That, dear people, is your pastor. Who am I, O Lord God, that Friendship has done all this for me and my family?

And then there is the creativity in the element of the anniversary (was I impressed).  A New York City, Madison Avenue firm, comes in a distant second to the works of this anniversary committee.  To the lovely, caring members of this committee and to the entire membership that they represent, thank you for an outstanding, without comparison, 50^th Anniversary.  To God be the glory.

Pastor J. Amos Jones
