What a joy it was to be with you all this past Sunday for Cokesbury and Covered-Dish Sunday. The singing and worship was truly inspirational, and the time of fellowship and communion over the meal afterwards left me truly filled, both physically and spiritually.
Coming off the heels of this great Sunday is another extraordinary ministry opportunity in the life of our congregation, the festivities surrounding our Shrimp & Petroleum Festival parking lot fundraiser. From Friday night thru Sunday, the youth and other volunteers within the congregation will be working to raise support for our youth ministries, and I cannot wait to see you out there as we help the next generation, fellowship with each other, and be a Christian witness to those partaking of the festival activities. Don't forget that parking passes ($15 for Friday, $25 for Saturday, $25 for Sunday) are available by contacting the church office or our youth director, Angie, at champine@bellsouth.net.
It's not too often that a church will get the opportunity to live out the Christian faith among so many people gathered in one place at one time. I want to encourage you, as you are able, to not only participate in the church's activities this weekend, but also to take time to take in the festival activities. Just by acting in a responsible, Christian manner as you enjoy these things provides a powerful testimony to so many who need to come across more examples of Christian living.
Finally, don't forget that, due to parking and traffic logistics, our Sunday morning worship FOR THIS SUNDAY ONLY will be at 9:00AM. Sunday school will not be meeting this week.
See You Sunday!
