Friendship Baptist Church

Sunday’s choir special was “The Family of God” with a solo part by Bro. J.C. Pierce. In Bro. Ken Daniel’s message from Luke 9:41-44 titled “Why the Tears,” he said that we will be betrayed into the hands of men. We must invest in God’s presence in our lives. We fail without God. We must recognize that God is here and he will bless us.

In the evening service, we started our January/February Bible study, “The Greatest Week in History: Luke’s Account of the Passion Week.”
