Blessings to you all in Christ! Who is like unto the Lord our God? No one. There's no shepherd like our good shepherd, Jesus.
Don't forget …
- This Sunday is a memorial Sunday for us, as we celebrate some of the saints we lost this past year (Earl Satterfield, Sue Fuqua, Kay Jones, Maurice Briggs, Don Templeton, Yvonne Manners, and former Pastor Frank Evans). Make sure you reach out to these families and invite them. We will have a potluck meal afterward. We will supply the meat and the drinks. You bring your favorite side dish. Desserts are welcome too, but usually we get too many of those and not enough sides. So, plan on bringing a side and if you want to sneak a dessert in, we won't bar you from doing it. 🙂
- We will also have two baptisms this coming Sunday (Destiny Butler and Drew Blondo). That's even better!
- Don't forget to sign up for our member's class on August 24th. It's right after church with lunch and childcare provided.
