Reflections- "The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing." - Psalm 23:1

 

THE PASTOR'S PERSPECTIVE

 

What a joy to take Mallory Stanfield's confession of faith and baptize her into Christ this past Sunday.  Mallory is the daughter of Les and Kelly Stanfield and the granddaughter of Audy & Karen Barnett and Ken and Katheren Stanfield.  

 

Our Awana Bible Clubs finished up another wonderful year this past Sunday afternoon.  They finished a few weeks early as most of the children have finished all their books, learning their memory verses from the Bible.  Their awards ceremony will be on June 9th during the morning worship service. 

 

 

Grace & Peace,

 

Dennis
