​Announcements

Pastor Luke’s resignation & reception
We are saddened to report that this-past Sunday, Luke Long announced that he is answering the call of a church in Virginia – and a call from God – and is resigning his staff position effective the end of this month.  Though we hate to see him and Ashley leave our fellowship, we do want to commend and encourage him as he steps into his new ministry role.  Pastor Luke & Ashley will receive friends on Wednesday, June 23, at 7:00pm.  Light refreshments will be served, and this reception will take the place of all other activities that evening.

Sunday School
We have returned to in-person Sunday School classes.  The B.F. Johnson Class and Ruth Class will return to their class rooms.  We will have Sunday School classes for children and IMPACT students.  All other adult classes will meet together in the Fellowship Hall, where Gerald Spaugh and Pastor Jim will co-teach.

Men’s Small Group
On June 27, the men’s small group that had met on Sundays at 08:15, will restart.  If you are interested in taking part in this group, please see Pastor Jim.

Choir practice
Pastor A.J. is excited to announce that the Choir will resume practicing in July!  Practices will take place Wednesday evenings after Bible Study.  This is a great time to join if you haven’t been part in our Choir before, or haven’t participated in a long time.  More detail is forthcoming; see Pastor A.J. for more information about this major step of returning to normal!
