Smith Verses 1, 3, and 4 * BENEDICTION POSTLUDE See the sign-up sheets on the table in the Worship Center and Gathering Area this Sunday morning for more information and an opportunity to participate in this much needed ministry of our church. Please note we will be working in teams of three so no one will be expected to do a meal alone. Cheryl Lauzau and Pat Smith have been coordinating this ministry for over a year but the team concept is one that we have not implemented until now. Thanks for your help!! Celebration and Congregation II Kings 5:7-19 And All the People Said Amen Great news… Everall Peele, one of our recent worship visitors who loves music, has accepted our invitation to direct a new Hand Bell Choir at First Presbyterian Church! Now we need ringers. Even if you have never played hand bells before, and especially if you have, please speak to Lisa Smith or Everall Peele about joining our new Hand Bell Choir. It is a big commitment, but the joy and satisfaction that come with making beautiful music for the Lord are immeasurable. The Timothy Ministry is a ministry of caring and sharing. This ministry serves our Brothers and Sisters within this congregation. When someone returns home from the hospital, or has a serious illness at home, someone will prepare a meal, provide transportation, do light housekeeping or do whatever is needed to help the person/family through the crisis. We have a new paradigm for this ministry and need your help to implement this new idea. Cindy Gauldin What a great day the Lord gave us for this event. Prayer works!! We had a great crowd attend our event and everyone we talked with had positive things to say about their experience here at FPC. Everyone wants to know who won the prizes so here are the winners. The Quilt was won by Rick Taylor. The beach trip was won by Larry Strader, the $500 Wal-Mart gift card went to Johnny White and the $300 cash prize was won by Debbie Ammons. The other question is “How much did we make”??? We do not have a final figure at this point in time because we are still collecting money and we have expenses that we have not yet paid. However, a ball park figure would be about $11,500. Don’t hold us to that number exactly, remember it is an approximate number at this point. We will have a detailed report in a week or so and you may get a copy if you are interested. So many did so much. Even if you just came Saturday and bought something, you were a part of making this a success. It takes the whole congregation getting involved to make an event profitable. Thanks to all that worked so very hard, to those who were not able to do anything but gave money to enable us to do a lot more, to those who came and spent their money, to those who worked long hours into the night, and everyone who supported this event in any way. There were some who went way above and beyond and God knows your names!! You will be blessed!
