Greetings Saints!
We are going to celebrate the 4th by centering upon the biblical paradigm of The Love Feast! Holman Bible Dictionary describes what Jude, Peter and Paul allude to in their writings:
"A Common fellowship meal of the church preceding the Lord's Supper. The Love Feast or Agape (meal) was a significant dimension of the fellowship and worship of the early church. As a concrete manifestation of obedience to the Lord's command to love one another, it served as a practical expression of the koinonia or communion that characterized the church's life."
Our facility will be set up for table fellowship so we can enjoy fresh breakfast foods together with an abbreviated liturgy of sacrament,scripture, and song.
The ladies are requested to prepare ample portions so that all the "Hungry Jack" brothers can feast to the point of fullness. Here are some items that will git-r-done ladies: sausage balls, fresh homemade biscuits, white gravy, breakfast casserole,cheese grits,country ham, bacon, monkey muffins and a whole lotta eggs!
Stay tuned, Vicki Martin will be contacting everyone to coordinate the menu and the abundant food supply.
SHOUT!

Announcing: "Redeeming the Realities of Marriage"
Statistically speaking, the months of June, July and August are three of the busiest months of the year for weddings. Reception halls are booked, pastors are busy, and florists and bakers love the business.
This also means it is anniversary season for many. With that in mind, we desire to invest in your "Marriage Covenant" by offering Paul Tripp's fabulous "What did You Expect?' A class on Redeeming the Realities of Marriage led by John and Marianna Cipolla.
The sessions will be offered on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday evening beginning in July. I am currently reading the book and have watched video clips. I guarantee you will experience honest, real and forthright content unlike anything you may have participated in before.
So, Invite your friends and come join the journey as we celebrate our strengths and have an authentic discussion about the illusions and realities of marriage.

Last Sunday and This Sunday
Greeeeeetings Saints,
Absolutely excited to share with everyone that we were able make a $1200.00 donation to Samaritan Purse for Joplin, Missouri disaster relief today. We added a little from the general fund to round up the total giving amount. Shout!
Since summer has arrived, families are now embarking on well deserved vacations. Beginning this Sunday, folk will be going and coming for a season. Along with that, we have our missional team members heading to Honduras on Saturday. With all that in mind, we thought it best to forego this months "Love Feast" and focus on a special outdoor event in July. We are talking serious Love Feast Celebration!
Also, I will wait to implement the announced Q&A message for this week since it involves some doctrinal issues that would best be served when we are all back together.
Soooooooo, if you are not on vacation, remember to prioritize celebrating The Lord's Day this Sunday with like minded Christ Followers at "The Gathering."
