Busy Week

Hello and good Wednesday evening to each of you! I hope your week has been going well. We have a lot of things taking place in the upcoming week. Be sure to mark them on your calendar!

Activities for Sunday, April 15th will begin with Men's breakfast beginning at 8am in the fellowship hall. Sunday School begins at 9:45 and worship at 11am. Invite another male to join you............whether it is your father, brother, uncle, friend or cousin......all men are invited to attend.

There will also be a quarterly church conference during the morning worship hour Sunday, April 15th. Also, don't forget about the upcoming fund raiser the youth will be hosting on Sunday. The menu consists of spaghetti, salad, garlic bread, tea, coffee and dessert. This fund raiser is being held to help raise money to send our youth to camp this summer. Come out and show your support for our youth! Lunch will be served immediately followhing the morning service.

The youth committee will meet this Sunday (April 15th) as well. The meeting with begin at 4pm in the gym.

Ladies: don't forget that the Beth Moore conference is this Friday and Sat. (April 13th & 14th). If you signed up to go, I am sure you will be in for a treat! I have heard lots of good things about Mrs. Moore. God has blessed her in such a wonderful way by allowing her to speak to hundreds of people about Him.

Women on Mission will meet next Wed., April 18th in the choir room at 7pm. All ladies are invited and encouraged to attend.

This Sunday will begin a new series for the morning and evening sermons. The first message is entitled "Are you Ready for Battle: Realizing Your Strengths". The evening sermon is entitled "Are You Ready for Battle: Preparing for Battle). These sermons will be based on scripture from Ephesians 6:10-17 (this covers the whole series).

Revival services will be held Sunday, April 29th. Services for that Sunday will be as normal (morning service at 11am and evening service at 6pm). The evening services for that week will begin at 7pm. Revival will end on Wed., May 2nd. Please be in prayer for our revival and allow God to speak to us during this time. The guest speaker will be the Director of Missions from the O'burg/Calhoun Association.

The XYZ will be touring Park Seed Company in Greenwood, SC on Sat., April 21st. The van will leave the church at 8am. The day will consist of a tour of Park Seed, lunch and the return trip back to North. Please remember to pray for this group as they depart on their journey. I am sure they will have lots of fun!

Ladies: don't forget about craft night each Tuesday night. It is being held in the trailer next to Culler-McAlhany funeral home from 6:30-8:30pm. Work continues on crafts being made for the upcoming Christmas bazaar this year. All proceeds will go toward the purchase of a new church bus/van.

Please be in prayer for the Annie Armstrong Easter offering. Our church goal is $2,700.00. Your total gift does to support North American Missionsaries and their ministries. As of the week of April 1st, $390.00 has been given thus far. It is important to help support our missionaries. It is also very important to remember them in prayer. It is a difficult job they have and they would not be able to do that job if it weren't for God placing the desire on the heart.

I hope the remainder of your week goes well. Take care and God bless!

Love in Christ,

Tina :-)
