GRADUATION--Do you have a son/daughter graduating from school this coming year? We would love to recognize them during our May 24th service. If you would like their “open house” and graduation announced, we need to receive a picture, graduation information, and open house schedule as soon as possible. Deadline is May 17th.
ELDER LEADERSHIP--The elder team would like to present Marshall Gipe to the church body as one who desires to be an elder. While Scripture says it is an honorable thing to desire the office of an elder (1 Timothy 3:1), the chapter goes on to lay out very specific guidelines for elder leadership (3:1-7). We would encourage you to examine this passage (along with Titus 1 and 1 Peter 5, among others) and also Marshall’s testimony. As elders, we desire to know if you can affirm Marshall’s qualifications for elder leadership. Would you please consider these texts, examine Marshall’s life and then share your confirmations or concerns with a current elder?
THANK YOU--I would like to express my thanks to all who took part in the recent blood drive. Thanks to your generous donations we were able to collect 37 whole blood units and 8 platelet donations. If you brought a food donation in a returnable container it can be picked up in the kitchen. Our next drive will be Monday, October 19. Once again thank you for helping serve our community.
