This Week at “The Friendly Church” – 4/11/2026

Here are your weekly announcements for April 11, 2026 from Middletown Seventh-day Adventist Church in Louisville, Kentucky. Make sure you visit our website for up-to-date calendars and information.

Join us as we pray this week for the following: 

We will be having children’s church for ages 4-11 today. We hope to see everyone there!

Andrew, one of the earliest disciples of Jesus, is remembered for his simple but profound passion: bringing people to meet the Savior. Throughout the Gospels, we consistently see Andrew leading others to Christ—whether it was his own brother, a curious crowd, or a young boy with loaves and fish.

This training seminar explores Andrew’s life and ministry, highlighting the qualities that made him such an effective introducer to Jesus.

Together, we’ll look at practical, meaningful ways we can follow his example today and become people who naturally draw others toward Christ.

Dr. Tryon is a professor in Southern Adventist University’s School of Religion in the areas of church ministry, spirituality, and leadership. He is also the director of the School of Religion externship program.

Men’s Ministry is hosting a movie night for everyone tonight, featuring the movie “Pardoned by Grace.” Burgers, hotdogs, and vegetarian alternatives will be provided. Please bring a side dish and come fellowship with us!

We are saddened to share that Colleen Raines-Lang passed away on Tuesday, March 31. The memorial service will be held tomorrow at 4:30 pm with visitation starting at 1 pm at Fern Creek Funeral Home.

We’re focusing on OUT this week—serving our community in a practical way. Come join us for a quick meal after work starting at 5:30. Then we will work together to assemble love bags (zip‑top bags you can keep in your car to share with someone in need). 

Please bring 20 of the same item to contribute. Suggested items include:

Let’s come together, pack with purpose, and be a blessing to someone who needs hope.

We live in a dangerous world, especially for all those of the female gender. It is vital that every female know how to avoid putting themselves unwittingly in danger and how to defend themselves should they be attacked. At this class we will not only learn the common places that women fail to protect themselves, but will be able to see and practice hands-on methods of improving your chances of escaping. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to protect yourself and all those you love. The class will be taught by Garrett Watson, owner of MADE Fitness and Training Center, who teaches at LMPD.

Space is limited, so sign up today. Invite your friends and family members to attend as well. There is a $10 fee for each attendee.

Rae Weaver is starting a clothing closet here at the church that will provide dignity and support to men, women, and children in need in our community. If you would like to donate, please bring men’s, women’s children’s or baby clothing items to the church and place them in the designated area in the lobby. 

We need at least an additional $235,000 to complete the first two classrooms, Phase 1. 

If you can give, now is the time. If not, please pray and share. We believe God will provide. Thank you to all of you who have contributed!
