 After 110 Years,  Our Church Receives
​A Landscaping Makeover

 Just recently our church grounds has received  a new "makeover"!  If you haven't had a chance to walk around the church, front and back, you are encouraged to take a look at the new shrubbery that has been planted.  Old shrubbery has been taken out and replaced with smaller, healthier shrubs and plants.  This "makeover" is on it's way to being completed. There are a few areas where gravel and mulch need to be added.  However, as time passes, we will have to be aware of any weeds that might pop up and pull them immediately.  Tree limbs from the large older trees at the front of the church are always losing limbs and sticks and need to be picked up frequently.  Ground maintenance is an ongoing chore with an older and larger church such as ours.  Work days for cleaning up will be scheduled and advertised throughout the year and we hope that members of the congregation will feel the need to participate. This is the Lord's House and we need to keep it in good repair, inside and out! There are many things that can be done by anyone - young or old:  pulling weeds, raking leaves, sweeping the walks, sweeping the steps (we have lots of steps), picking up of sticks, holding trash bags open.  If you can't do any of these things, just come and offer support if nothing else.  We are a church family and "many hands make for light work!"

PRAYER SESSIONS OFFERED IN THE CHAPEL


 ​​We've had many good reviews concerning the Bible Study on Prayer.  Members shared the many ways they felt that the study had affected their prayer lives.  One of the results of the Bible Study on Prayer is weekly prayer sessions starting June 13th, 2018 to be held in the Chapel.  These prayer sessions will be held on Wednesday mornings  each week at 10 a.m..  Sessions will last approximately 45 minutes and will consists of requested prayers, prayers for our congregation, church leaders, pastor, our community, our country and the world in which we live. All are welcome to participate in any and all sessions - no need to sign up or buy a book...just come to pray.    The church family is encouraged to place prayer requests in the Prayer Box located at the Visitor's Center in the lobby.  All requests will be held up in prayer by the prayer session group.  Great Things Happen When God's People Pray!
WOMEN'S MINISTRY COMPLETES BLANKETS FOR CHARITY   
The Women's Ministry had been hard at work knitting and crocheting blankets for two local ministries. 
Small blankets were made for the Sweet Grace Ministries which provides support to families dealing with infant loss whether it be a miscarriage or a stillborn birth. Quite a number of blankets were made.
Larger fleece tie blankets were made and donated to the WIC (women, infants, and children) located here in Waynesboro. Winter hats were also donated.  WIC is an organization that helps working families and the unemployed with nutrition services and health care.  Both ministries were overjoyed to receive the handiwork of the members of our church family.    Thanks to all!
