A Note from Bro. Rodney _______________
NURSERY
Grace and peace!
Change is in the air!! Fall will be here before long! Our Nominating
Committee is busy seeking servants for a new year! Thanks to those
who have said yes and thanks to those who are praying about a
position!
God willing, we will have our Baptism Sunday, at 3:30 p.m. at D’Lo.
We have 4 to baptize there. Join us to support the candidates.
This Sunday night we will have a special called Business Meeting to
vote on Robby Sullivan as our interim student minister. He is active
on Wednesday night with the youth already and teaches youth in
Sunday school. This recommendation will come from the Personnel
Committee. The Deacons have already voted to support Robby as
our interim student minister.
Thanks to all of you who brought food for the D’Avy family.
Christopher did a good job at his funeral. Continue to pray for this
family!
Rev. Rod with the AWESOME GOD!
