This Sunday evening, our area Associational churches will gather for the start of a four service revival. Rick Coram will be the speaker and the Mike Speck Trio will lead in music. We will have no worship services here Sunday evening or Wednesday evening the 18th. Our monthly Finance Committee and Deacon=s Meeting will be held as scheduled.
We are entering the time of the year for our nominating committee to begin work for the coming year. This is a time when each member should be earnestly praying for God=s leadership in the position they need to hold. I firmly believe, as I said Sunday, God has a work for each of us. He is ready to help you get started, are you willing to start?
A word of thanks to Mildred Betts, Kayla Godwin and Claire Whitehead for the Annie Armstrong Mission Offering presentation last Wednesday evening. It was very well done. If you have not given to this offering, it is not too late. Our church goal is $10,000 and we can meet the goal.I look forward to seeing you this Sunday.
