# Hi Friends Family! | Weekly Update 8-30-26 - From: Friends Church | East Richland — Weekly Update - Sent: August 29, 2026 (2026-08-29T23:45:36.755Z) - Web version: https://erfriends.flowforth.co/emails/weekly-update/15979 - More emails: https://erfriends.flowforth.co/emails/weekly-update --- [![Logo](https://churchusercontent.com/eb8d7634-c8fd-4e80-9181-5bdb2ca41196/Friends_Church_Branding_2024-10_1_2025-12-30T21-22-26-407Z.png)](https://g.page/r/CV9fI7ucp42OEBM/review) ## Hello Friends! **Tomorrow we are in the IFLC for both our 8:00 and 10:00am gatherings!** At **8:00am**, we’ll have hymns and the sermon. At **10:00am**, we’ll have band music, the sermon, baptisms, and childcare for ages 0–4. **There will be no adult classes tomorrow.** It’s going to be a great morning as we celebrate new life in Jesus and begin a new book of the Bible together! It seems like yesterday we were beginning Galatians, and now we’ve studied through three letters and are starting a fourth. Tonight, let’s take a moment to pray for one another as James writes in his letter (1:21–25): that we would receive the Word planted in us, which is able to save our souls, and that we would be **doers of the Word who act—not people who hear and forget.** See you tomorrow!
