Our Joys & Concerns
The altar flowers are given to the Glory of God and in celebration of the marriage of Ashleigh Bradley & Ryan Rohan on July 2, 2010, given by Michael & Carla Bradley.
The rosebud on the altar is in honor of the birth of Marion Mackenzie Childers, daughter of Patrick & Lauren Childers, on June 16, 2010.
We extend Christian sympathy to Will, Genia, Allison & Shannon Crane and Gail, Katie & Paige Roberts in the loss of Genia and Gail's father, Flannery Salter; and to David, Cindy, Trenton & Katelyn Theiler in the loss of Cindy's mother, Donna Raffath. May God hold you in the palm of His hand during this time of grief.
We wish to congratulate Leah Whittaker & Justin Smith who were married in our Sanctuary on June 25, 2010 by Rev. Jody Ray & Dr. Charles Whittaker.
Recently hospitalized: Nancy Gault, Norma Harman, Melanie Stolz.
