Summer 2011

Hello! What a great summer we have had! We started the summer off with Children’s Camp at Linden Valley and had a great VBS Big Apple Adventure! We are going to wind down the summer with a Back-to- School Swim Party at Kenneth/Gina Twyman’s house. This is for grades K-12. It is August 6th from 3-5 p.m. We will offer transportation. Please RSVP to Lisa Hopper. We will provide snacks. Please wear modest swimwear, (one-piece bathing suits or bring a tee-shirt to cover up).

August 21st-24th is our revival time. We hope you will make plans to attend. Bro. Frank Dorris will be our evangelist and Bob Wadley will lead the music Sunday through Wednesday night. After the revival, we will switch gears and plan for fun fall activities. We will be having a hayride, fall festival, stew sale and hopefully a trip to the pumpkin patch. Continue to pray for our 5 new Christians that were saved before and right after VBS. Pray for our children as they go back to school and remind them that school is their mission field.

January, 2011

Hello guys and gals! Did you all have a good Christmas break? I was so proud of the ones who participated in our Christmas Program. You all did a great job! I have heard so many good compliments on the performance. We would like to use the bells again for Easter, and are in the process of ordering music for that. January 17th is Martin Luther King day, and we would like to go back to Savannah to bowl and eat pizza again. (Sign up sheet on the table) We would need to leave the church absolutely no later than 10:00 a.m. January 30th, after church we are going to have a lunch, and sing at Briarwood Nursing Home at Lexington. The residents there love to see guests, and I think it is a wonderful mission opportunity. February 6th is Souper Bowl Sunday; more information on this will come later. Feb 19th we will have Children’s Missions Day in the activity building. We will learn more about missionaries and make cards for shut-ins and soldiers. There is a possibility we may make some fleece blankets for the shut-ins also. I hear we may get snow in the next few days, so enjoy it! See you at church!

NOVEMBER, 2010

Hello everybody!  What a wonderful time we had at the Fall Festival! Special thanks to all the hard workers!! I loved the fellowship that we had.  It is a nice time to look around at the beautiful fall colors that God has given us.  This month will be busy for most people.  We have Thanksgiving almost upon us.  I hope we will all remember to thank God for our many blessings.  I will be remembering my church family when I say my prayers!

We have received our new hand bells.  We will be playing two songs at Christmas.  I hope everyone will participate.  We will start practicing on Sunday nights (5:30) during the month of November.  I will be available to run the van, if needed.  Please call my cell phone before 5:00 p.m., so I can make arrangements to pick you up.

Weather permitting we may take a trip on November 20^th to Tennessee Safari Park in Alamo, TN.  You can check them out on the website www.tennesseesafaripark.com .

Hope to see you soon at church!!

September 2010

Hey guys and gals! Hope you all had a long and relaxing weekend. We had a great service this weekend at Chickasaw park. If you have never attended one of these, we would love to have you next year. We don’t have a lot going on this month. Cathy Huggins, Ranny Jo Morris and I are taking children ages 9 and up to Jackson to get their Hunter Saftey license. The times are Saturday 8:30 – 6:00 and Sunday 1:00 – 5:00. We will be leaving the church at 7:30 a.m. Saturday morning and be returning around 6:30 Saturday afternoon. We will leave right after church on Sunday and return back for our Sunday night church service. We will fix sack lunches for the kids on both days. Children will need to bring their Social Security Numbers. If you are interested, please contact me early so we can provide enough lunches.
Our Hayride has been rescheduled for Oct 1st . If it rains, we will have it Oct 2nd. We will meet at the church and ride the wagon to Gleeman & Jane’s house for hotdogs and smores! Our Fall Fun night is scheduled for Oct 29th. We will be doing games and cake walk, just like last year. Mark these dates on your calendar and hope to see you soon.
