a note from the pastor

Pastor’s Note dated June 4, 2006

The Parade to Harbisons A Journey of Faith…

Now 35% of the Way There!

How exciting it is to see the people of God making a

joint effort to move the parade along. Since the presen-

tation on a Sunday morning a couple of months ago we

have paid well over $50,000 on our debt. Keep up the

good work.

Our Building committee has met, and work in that di-

rection is moving forward. Pray earnestly for these good

men...it takes a bushel of wisdom to know how to pro-

ceed. If you have ideas to share with the committee,

they would be most willing to hear you out. Thank each

of you for the journey we're on together...one day, to

Harbisons...another day to heaven.

-Jerry

“...He that ploweth should plow with hope…” I Corinthians 9:10

thirsty for renewed hope...come to the spring!

In addition, the R.A.C.K. Minis-try will be giving away back packs stuffed with back to school supplies. As Preacher Jerry so sweetly remind-ed us Wednesday night, God is aware of our smallest effort. No one else may even notice but nothing is hid from God. Begin now praying and asking God to show you how you can help. We serve God by serving oth-ers! If you have never tried it, please do! God is aware of it all and He is in control ALWAYS. Little is much if God is in it!! Ways you can help: 1. Pray! Pray for the volunteers and

pray that God sends people in need, both physically and spiritu-ally.

2. Donate your time as a volunteer 3. Donate new items (socks, under-

wear, school supplies, etc.) 4. Give money, so new items can

be purchased.
