For GOD's GLORY
Latest Sermon
Each week our pastor presents a challenge straight from the Scriptures. It is our prayer that every message heard will both bless and challenge those hearts who receive it. There's nothing like being here in person to experience worship together, but when we are unable to, we are thankful to have worship available live and archived on both Facebook and Youtube.

Administrative Committee Meeting
September 10, 2024
1. Updated job descriptions are completed and awaiting final vote at the next scheduled meeting. A personnel manual is currently being developed; it serves as a reference tool in that it contains information from all committees in one localized source. It should be finalized by the end of the year.
2. Appreciation was expressed for those donating money and providing meals for CR. CR expresses great thanks for these meals that are so faithfully provided. Discussion considered ways to help increase support for the meal program, the creation of a rotating menus, and ways to help with the rising cost of food for those who provide the meals. Many thanks to all who support this ministry.
3. Budget is 95% competed and will be presented on the next to last Sunday in October.
4. The Pumpkin Bash is October 27. The catapult is looking great, so come see it in action on this date. Many thanks to all involved.
5. There will be a Thanksgiving Giving on November 24, 2024. All monies received on this day will go to 50 for Faith and Family.
6. Our maintenance committee is still working on locating a chiller for us. Piedmont Mechanical has not provided a price, and communication with Chiller Tech has still not occurred. Because our system and software are currently Carrier, this is the brand being sought. A discussion occurred regarding training another individual with the knowledge of this team leader, Ben Brown.
7. A request was made for a bouncy house to be placed on church grounds for an upcoming party. Currently, this request was denied. Guidelines for our playground and its usage will be more specific when completed.
