Tennessee Flood Relief Effort

Bette Jo Shifler has been in contact with an individual at Two Rivers Baptist church on how we can help. Lowes and Home Depot gift cards are an excellent way to go on this, but there are other options as well (see below). Please make sure the amount is marked on the cards.

HERE is a link to the Two Rivers web site which lists other items that are needed.

HERE is a link to an article entitled, What the Media Missed in the "Nashville" Flood. Helpful reading for a better perspective.

Ronnie & Bette Jo Shifler are planning on leaving Friday around noon to head down with donations. If you would like to be involved and have something to donate, you may contact Bette Jo directly, or leave it at the church. Please make sure to have it here by Thursday evening so that it can be loaded up. The best time to drop of donations is in the morning when the church office is open. Many times afternoons are used for visiting, contacts, etc., so sometimes the church building is not unlocked. If we know that you are coming we can make the proper arrangements to have a door open.

So this is how it is supposed to be done!??

Soles 4 Souls & Memorial Service

Thanks so much to all who participated last Saturday with the Soles 4 Souls project. Leslie, Becky, Shirley, Jeff & Garret (hope I didn't miss anyone, if so, add in the comments below) did an excellent job of interaction with the children and adults who came in from Lincolnshire and Hickory for shoes. Thanks to those of you who helped to fund this project. Approximately $1,800 was given out for shoes. Please be in prayer for the contacts that we trust will be made for VBS that we will have the opportunity to share the message of the hope found in Jesus.

Thanks also for those who helped to minister through the Memorial Service this past weekend. Your service of serving made an impact on the family. Thanks also to those of you who brought in refreshments.

Well done, church!
