Happy Father's Day!

Hello and good Saturday evening to each of you. I hope you all had a blessed week. It certainly seemed like a very long week to me. I have been having some work done on some of my teeth and have a few more that need some work (to be done later on this week). Please be in prayer that the dentist will get things corrected and that my teeth won't be as sensitive as they have been lately.

Tomorrow is Father's Day. A day to let dad know just how much he means to you. Some of us no longer have their dads with them on this earth; but I know they will think of them and remember all the good times shared with them while they were on this earth. Fathers really do add a lot to a child's life. The impact a father has on a child greatly shapes that individual for life. A strong bond between father and child is essential. For daughters, dad is the man all other men must live up to. For sons, he is the man sons wish to be like. Hopefully all dads provide a positive role model for their children to follow. Some don't and that is a sad thing. If you find yourself at odds with your father this Father's Day, my prayer is that you both will find the strength needed to cross the hurdle and bridge the gap between you. Your lives will be greatly enhanced and blessed.

Speaking of Father's Day...there will be "Donuts for Dads" in the fellowship hall tomorrow morning from 9-9:45am. What better way to share Father's Day than in the house of your Heavenly Father?

Women on Mission will meet t his Wednesday, June 18th. All ladies are invited and encouraged to attend.

The youth will be traveling to White Oak the week of June 23rd for SummerSalt. Please be in prayer for our young people during this week. They will have a special service Sunday night, June 29th to share their camp experiences with us. An ice cream social will follow in the fellowship hall after the evening service.

There will be a Women's Conference on Friday, June 27th in Atlanta, Ga. If you wish to attend this outing, please contact the church office for more information.

The children will be heading to Santee for Santee Mission Week the week of July 7th through July 12th. Please keep them in your prayers that God will use them in a special way to bring the word of Jesus Christ to those who need to know of His salvation and grace.

The children will also have Day Camp the week of July 21st through July 25th. If your child or children are interested in participating in either of the above mentioned activities, please see our Minister of Students.

I believe that covers all I have for now. Until next time, take care and God bless!

In Christian Love,

Tina :-)
