Keep our Active Military in Your Prayers

Dear Friends, Thank you so much for all the cards, calls and prayers during my recent surgery and recuperation. The support from my church family has been amazing and I feel blessed far beyond what I deserve and may God bless each of you.

Love, Loretta Parnell Thank you for the get-well cards, your caring thoughts and phone calls, during my time in the hospital. Your many prayers helped in my recovery.

It is very comforting to be a member of a very caring and thoughtful Christian Family.

In Christian Love, Julia Robbins

Dear Friedland Friends, I want you to know how much my family and I, and Ashleigh’s family truly appreciate all the acts of loving kindness shown to us during the time of her death. God bless you for your caring and love, and a special appreciation to Pastor David, Pastor Carol and Linda Lyons for their patience and understanding during this difficult time.

  Mission Moments - September 2013 MISSION THANK-YOU LUNCHEON The Mission Committee will sponsor a THANK-YOU Buffet Luncheon on Sunday, September 15, 2013. All members and non -members of the congregation who contributed in any way (financial, making dresses, making chili, eating chili, eating meals, prayer, serving meals, preparing meals, baked goods, etc.) to our Youth Mission efforts (Primarily Costa Rica) during this past year are invited. Lunch will be served from 12:30 PM until 1:15 PM. Following Lunch there will be a presentation by the missionaries that traveled to Costa Rica. During the lunchtime, the groups that attended Mission Camp and worked on Staten Island will be providing a photographic DVD of their MISSION WORK. Let this be your Mission to attend this LUNCH. Come and hear about the HAND CHIMES in Costa Rica. God is Good and He is Blessing Our Mission Work at Friedland! We are praying for safe journeys and blessed works as the Michael Brent’s and the Charlie Brent’s return to Croatia and Texas for their Mission Work this School Year. May God Bless them as they lead their Mission Teams.

Continue to Pray for the Woos (Christ Moravian) as they mission in difficult circumstances to the Shan Dai in Asia. They need your prayers every day! Continue to Pray for the Rawn and Bernard Uguwoke in Uganda, Africa. They are trying to buy a new (used) vehicle and take in refugees from countries where Christians are being persecuted. Continue to Pray that Friedland and its Mission Committee can support Ray of Hope in many ways, including education and medical. Go to their Facebook page and see what is happening in their Orphanage.

Kick-off for Stewardship Emphasis 2013 September 29—Morning Worship As we begin the Fall Months, we are acutely aware of our dependence upon our Lord. The Lord has been our Guide and has blessed us richly throughout the year. How do we look at the blessings we have received? In 1 Timothy the writer of the epistle reminds us of how to approach our blessings and riches received from God’s Hand. Speaking about those who enjoy riches in this life, he states:

“They are to do good, to be rich in good works, generous, and ready to share, thus storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of the life that really is life.”

Thus, these words speak to our reward, not in this life but in the next as Christians. But he also speaks of our foundation in faith… a life of service in good deeds, living generous lives and trying our best to obtain a life truly worth living as people of faith. Join us on Sunday, September 29th when we begin to consider how best to serve God and serve others through our love gifts. This will serve as our kick off for our 2013 Stewardship Campaign and each month we will feature another event or gathering to support our efforts.
