Don't Let High Tides Lead to Low Tithes!
| |
We know Summer means a slower pace and a more relaxed attitude, but we'd like to remind everyone that the church budget never takes a vacation. Your stewardship is as important in July as it was in January
So while you're planning your getaways, please consider your giveaways... and please don't take your money to the beach!

The Episcopal Churchmen would like to thank Father Wright and the church parish for making our 2012 dinner sales a success again this year.

Also thanks to those who helped prepare, cook and serve the dinners on both Saturday and Sunday: James Jackson, John Gilliard, John Goodlett, Bob Martin, Len Anderson, Anthony Bryant, John Dantzler and Andrew Smith.
