Everyone enjoyed the delicious lunch, fellowship, and successful committee
meetings this past Sunday. We appreciate Becky Merriman
for our scrumptious meal and the Elders for conducting the successful
committee meetings. It is exciting to see the dedication of so many to
work in the church through our committees. We thank all who helped set
up the tables, decorate, serve, clean up, and then participated in our meeting.

Thank You
Thank you to Ethel Hogue for her
informative young disciple time with our children and for making the

the world as we partook of the bread and cup.
We appreciate Rhonda Merriman, April Bentley, and Becky Merriman for
thoroughly cleaning the
Sanctuary.
