Church Picnic

We had our church picnic on June 10th at the Colonel Ledyard park.  What a wonderful time of fun, food and fellowship.  The main dish was fried chicken (it was finger-lickin' good), the ladies made all varieties of salad and the men made the desserts.  Luke's dessert won first place, followed second by Bob and third went to Vin.  The activities included basketball, softball, horse-shoes and... quilting?  Of couse, we had a time of preaching to focus our hearts on the Lord.  Thanks to all who came!

Graduation Service!

On June 3rd, we had a graduation service for our four high school seniors: Abby, Nathalie, Diana and Josiah.  We had a wonderful service that included the graduates' testimonies, parent's testimonies, special music and a skit.  The service was followed by a full-blown barbeque; southern-style!  It was a blessed day for all as friends and family gathered to celebrate this accomplishment in the lives of those four young people.

Boyscout service!

What an opportunity!!!  The Boyscouts gathered for a weekend campout jamboree at Camp Oakdale, next to our church.  A scout leader called us and asked if we would provide a "Protestant" service on Saturday night, AT OUR CHURCH!  Pastor Jake and a group of guys put together a service with singing, special music and a Gospel message.  About 20 Boyscouts and leaders came to the service and were given a bag with tracts, the Gospel of John, and a pen.  We also gave away many of our left-over "Teen-Challenge"  T-shirts from the past few years.  The scouts were very attentive and appreciated that we opened our church to them.  What an opportunity!

Church Workday!

We recently had a very productive workday at the church.  Many folks came out and put a lot of effort into cleaning and fixing up the property.  Thank you Dale for organizing the day and to everyone who came out with a mind to work!
