The 3^rd – 6^th grade Sunday school class will be having a bake sale in the cross hall Sunday, August 1 following the morning worship service. All proceeds will go to our new FLC! Plan now to pick up some goodies!

Our Deacon election will take place on Sunday, August 8, at 10:30 am. This will be a special election this year as we will elect four men. Three men will serve a three-year term and one man will serve a one-year term. You can write up to four names that you wish to serve on the Deaconship. These ballots will then be counted and those elected will be announced. Please pray about God’s leadership! I want to remind you of some necessary qualifications for nomination to the Deaconship. He must be a church member in good standing. This means he must be faithful in attendance to the services. He must be supportive in his giving to the support of the church. He is to have good biblical standards in his family life. He is to be one who promotes his church in both his words and positive attitude. He is to have a good reputation, both in and out of church. Above all, he is to love the Lord and the Lord’s work. Finally, please do not vote for a staff member. We currently have nine men who are serving and are not eligible for re-election as Deacon. They are: Ron Fine, Richard Chapman, Tommy Pack, Ronnie Dorn, Garrick Irwin, Ray Varner, Jason Mosley, Bryce Rudasill, Jon Bell.  Thank you! Brother Jack

Let’s have some fun before we go back to school. All children, ages 5-12, are invited to Ship Wreck Cove on Monday, August 2^nd. We will leave the church at   9:45 am and return around 3:30. Students will need to wear their swim suit, bring a towel, sunscreen, and bag lunch for a picnic. Sign up at the church office if you plan to join us.

Make plans now to join us in the fellowship hall on Thursday, August 12, at 12:00 pm for our August luncheon. Please bring a covered dish and join us!

Let’s spread some Christmas spirit in August! We are collecting items for Chaplain Milam who ministers at the Durham VA Medical Center in Durham, NC. Her ministry is to those in palliative and hospice situations in a 10-bed facility. Our items to collect and place in cross hall are: blank cards with pretty scenery and Kleenex. We can also pray for Chaplain Milam. Let’s reach out and show our Christlike love and compassion for these veterans and their families.

We will not have service on Wednesday, July 7th.
