We enjoyed a feast of a fellowship brunch in the Garden room during the Sunday School hour (9:30-10:30) Sunday.

Following our fellowship brunch, we began a new worship series at 10:45 focusing on the wisdom of the church. After a year-long emphasis on the wisdom of scripture, we are celebrating a month devoted to hearing the wisdom some of our church family have gleaned over the years in their own faith journey. Rev. Dawn Douglas Flowers kicked it off Sunday. She will be followed by Branden Henry July 14, Shelley Powers July 21, and Bill Flynn July 28. 
We hope this series inspires you to reflect on your own faith journey and what wisdom you have received and hope to pass on from your own experience as part of the body of Christ.   
Rev. Haven Boyd was elected at the 2024 Mississippi Annual Conference as an alternate delegate for the 2024 Southeastern Jurisdictional Conference in Lake Junaluska, NC July 10-12. Congratulations Haven! For more information on the SEJ Conference, click here 
The Flowers family are on vacation July 10-18. Rev. J.R. Hall has graciously agreed to be on call while both pastors are out in the event of a pastoral emergency. If you are in need of pastoral assistance, please call the church office and Linda will make sure the appropriate person is contacted and reaches out. Please leave a message if you do not get anyone in the office as Linda will be checking the phone messages outside of office hours.
