Our guest speaker this morning was Dr. Doyle Chauncey, interim executive director of the SBCV. He delivered an insightful message from the book of Hebrews titled “Tips for Troubled Times.”

During the evening Bible study hour, Mr. Wood spoke to us about Biblical stewardship in these challenging times.

Our scripture for the evening was 1 Thessalonians.

Following the morning service we had a picnic on the church grounds, with games in the afternoon. Weather didn’t look very promising in the morning, but by lunchtime, the sun was shining. We had grilled hamburgs and hotdogs, with all the good stuff you want on a picnic. The Lord blessed us with a wonderful day. Several families visited, and kids of all ages had a wonderful time playing kickball, hitting pitches, swinging, and playing manhunt.

Here are some photos of this fun day

Church members of all ages met early this morning to clean up the church grounds. With many young people helping out, including members of the local Homeschool Honor Society, it felt more like a “fun day” than a workday. Folks pulled weeds, spread mulch, cleaned up trash, trimmed the bushes, sanded and painted the railing, and cleared felled trees, all the while socializing and keeping up good spirits as they labored from 8am until noon. Good fellowship and hard work combined to create great memories and a very tidy churchyard.
