Friendship Baptist Church

Our Call to Worship was “That’s Why We Praise Him” and the choir special was “How Deep the Father’s Love.”

Bro. Ken Daniel’s message was from Exodus 13:17-22, titled “No Turning Back.”

Bro. Ken and Mrs. Susan traveled to Tennessee to visit Susan’s mom, who had fallen and broken her hip that morning. For the evening service, we worshipped in song and fellowship.
