Well, Anniversary Sunday arrived and we had a wonderful time greeting old friends and meeting new friends.
There was a lot going on and we tried to capture the whole thing.
What we have for you this week are several items:

• The morning service
• The afternoon reception
• A slide show of pictures from the past 46+ years
• The latest installment of the “Catch The Vision” series of videos (this should be good ’cause it took Pastor Hill and Bro. David 4+ years to make it!)

Well, if you’ve been wondering, yes we did indeed have a visit from Ike.  Hurricane Ike that is.

The majority of damage  experienced here at the church has been in the form of oak tree limbs.  LOTS and LOTS of tree limbs!!   One set of large limbs completely missed a power line and transformer that sets next to the tree.

Given that we now have power at the church (subject to disruptions of course), our plan is to have our regular Sunday schedule in the morning.  If you plan to join us, please bring your work clothes as we will begin cleaning up around here after lunch.  If it is unsafe for you to travel to the church, please remain where you are and join us at a later date.

As for services Sunday night, we will wait and see how tonight and tomorrow morning go and make a determination then.
