Memorial Day--During our nation's short life, God has granted us remarkable freedoms. These freedoms are a grace from God, with our nation's veterans being an instrument of that grace. We encourage you to praise God for these freedoms and also thank those who have served our country to provide these freedoms.
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?
SUMMER STUDIES--If you are interested in the Summer Studies, they will be on Sunday nights starting June 28-August 9 at 6:30pm. Sign-up sheets are on the table in narthex.
WOMEN’S SUMMER STUDY--Ladies, starting June 10 (am study) and June 11 (pm study) a eight week study of Ruth will begin. We strongly encourage you to go by the table in narthex to sign-up today if you will be taking the study.
BAPTISM--Baptism is a wonderful opportunity to make a outward, visible confession of an inward reality of your faith in Christ. If you know Christ as your Savior and have not participated in baptism, you (and our church) are missing out on a tremendous blessing. If you are interested in being baptized, we encourage you to call the office and arrange an appointment to discuss this issue. We are planning a baptism service soon!
