WEATHERFORD — Friendship Baptist Church is excited to announce to the community and surrounding area it has called Bro. Todd Houston as its pastor. His duties will commence Oct. 25, and we would like to invite everyone to come and be a part of his first Sunday in the pulpit.

His family consists of his wife, Alisha, and children, Abigail, age 9, and Aaron, age 7.

Bro. Todd comes to Friendship Baptist Church with approximately 11 years of pastoral experience. His most recent position was pastor of a Southern Baptist Convention church in Michigan, where he served for approximately three years. Prior to that he served various SBC churches in Tennessee for approximately seven years, which is where he and Alisha grew up.

God has blessed and honored his preaching by providing growth to the churches he has served, either through people receiving God’s gift of salvation or believers joining the local church.

He has earned a master’s degree from Temple University and a doctorate of ministry from Covington Theological Seminary. He is presently working toward a masters of divinity. Friendship Baptist Church is located approximately seven miles north of Weatherford off Highway 51. The address is 801 Friendship Road, Weatherford, Texas 76087.

‘The Help’
William Barclay tells the story of a servant who was sent to meet a train on which his master’s friend, an English nobleman, was supposed to arrive. The servant, who had never met the man, asked his master, “How will I recognize him?” To which his master replied, “He will be a tall man helping somebody.” What a description!
I thought of that story after seeing the excellent film version of Kathryn Stockett’s best-selling novel, The Help.

Money talks on July 4
Most of the time when we say, “Money Talks,” we mean that money and wealth carry persuasive power when important decisions are being made. But money also talks in another way: by the words that are emblazoned on our coins.
