We are thankful to be back home from an enjoyable trip. Sister Gordon and I had a wonderful time of vacation - September 12-17. It was just great to be away for a few days with Sister Gordon to relax and get refreshed. We thank the church for encouraging us to get away for this time of rest. We also enjoyed being in church on Wednesday evening with the folks at Evansville, IN and their Pastor Brother William Gaddis.

This past Sunday's services were great. There were about 15 visitors present and also our regular people. We are still encouraging the Children's ministry and the Youth Ministry. We have also scheduled a Fish Fry for October 7. This will go to help pay for the new property development. We are also planning a "Block Fellowship" for our community. We will be inviting neighbors to come and have a meal simply to show our friendship and love to them. The church has recently given over $850 to our mission nations of Sudan and Ugandi. We have also received over $460 to Katrina relief in Louisiana. We thank God for allowing us to give to others in need.

The leaders here are working together to reach out to the lost in our community. The services here are charged with great spiritual worship and people are being blessed of the Lord. We give God all the praise. Let us go forward with the Lord!
