Announcements June 10, 2012

You're a Blessing The flowers in the sanctuary this morning are placed there to thank our "Praying Church" and to praise our Heavenly Father for answering those prayers.  When John was first hospitalized, he had Stage 3 lymphoma and is now diagnosed as CANCER-FREE.  His doctor calls him "Lazarus" and we BELIEVE IN MIRACLES! We also appreciated the pastoral visits, cards, and calls that came just at the time they were most needed.  Blessings to all, the Mowrey family.


District Conference - The NC West District Conference will be held on June 18-20 at the Hickory Metro Convention Center.  Make your plans now to join us for the Opening Rally on Monday, June 18th for a special "Heritage" program filles with special singers and a time of reflecting on the past years of our District and what the future holds.


Communion Stewards - Pastor Scott is in need of three to four people who would be willing to prepare Communion for the District Conference on Tuesday morning, June 19th.  If you can help please see Pastor Scott.
