New Pictorial Directories have Arrived! ...featuring some of the most beautiful people ANYWHERE!!!!! Thanks to those who have worked diligently to make our New Directories. They will be recognized at a later date. Update on Refinancing of Church’s Loan to FUM Foundation We have submitted our request to add $100,000.00 to our current loan with the Foundation (present balance $179,000.00) to the Foundation. The District Superintendent will review the loan request and add his signature of approval. The Foundation will then review the request. Assuming that we will get a favorable review, it is possible that the new loan will close sometime between mid July to the end of the month. We will keep all informed of the projects, (repairs and renovations), and the time tables. Stewardship As you may remember last month we asked all to pray about prayerfully considering giving to retire our mortgaged debt. Please keep that in your prayers. But the outreach and ministries of our church continue to require our financial support. Please examine your giving to insure you have kept up with your pledge. And consider additional giving in order to reach those in our community that need to know about the Grace and Forgiveness available through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Our Great Commission is to be fishers of men. Up-Coming Events: Oldies and Goldies Month August During the month of August, all music will be geared to the favorite hymns and songs of years past (Break out the Cokesbury Hymnal!) We all have favorites, and you will get a chance in each bulletin in July to request your favorites. These requests will be considered by Linda Wilkerson as she plans the music for each week in August. Please be mindful and understanding that there is a chance that your favorite(s) may not be sung this year. If you submitted a favorite in the past and it was not sung, please indicate that this is a repeated request by placing a number by it (2 = 2nd time) and so forth. Quick look at our calendar...
