Next Sunday morning Bro. George Roberts from Florida will be our guest speaker. The waterslide will open at 3 p.m., followed by a picnic at 5 p.m. Please bring lots of food and drinks! Come early and pitch horseshoes, play volleyball, or basketball. Evening service will be at 6 p.m. and will involve your personal testimonies and praises to God!

There will be a brief meeting of all teachers of our young people immediately after our morning service in the front of the auditorium.

Volunteers will be needed to load HOPE food this Saturday at 6 p.m. at the Warehouse, and unload at 7 p.m. here.

Our elders and building committee voted unanimously Wednesday night to hire Goodman Architectural Services to prepare our detailed construction documents for a fee of $54,100. We hope to have these plans ready for contractors’ bids by mid-January. Our total offering August 29th will go to the building fund, which now is at $310,000. Our goal is to reach $500,000 by the end of this year. Pray and give that we might reach this goal!
