Johnson City, TN- On Sunday, March 13, 2022, Friendship Baptist celebrated the 3rd Anniversary of Rev. Lester D. Lattany & Mrs. Stephanie G. Lattany as our Senior Pastor and First Lady. This also was a celebration of 32 years of Rev. Lattany’s Preaching and Teaching Ministry...

The Celebration and Worship Service was held during the 11:00 morning services. Dr. Harold Middlebrook, Knoxville TN was the guest speaker. He spoke on the subject of “Anointed for Service’ taken from Isaiah 61:1-2 and Luke 4:17-19. His message was centered around his attending college and believing that he was going to be a lawyer.

After things did not go the way that he planned he submitted to the calling and never looked back. He emphasized that you can choose to be in a profession but when God calls you to preach, you must submit, and he will equip you for the task. God is Alive, Yes, He is!!
