NEWS & NOTES

Boles Mission Trip
Last week, our youth group and adult sponsors had fun and worked hard helping out at Arms of Hope: Boles Campus. They had a Memorial Day water party and slip ‘n slide and helped with projects including tree-falling, bush pulling, cleaning, weed-eating and more!
 
Sympathy
Our sympathy is with Sharon Edwards and her family after the passing of her mother, Julia McClain, on May 24th. Services were held last Friday.
 
Baptism
Congratulations to Charlotte Chapman who was baptized into Christ last Wednesday evening. We rejoice with Charlotte and her family.
 
Thank You
Thank you all for the prayers, cards, and other acts of kindness during these last weeks since Doug’s passing.  We also appreciate the help with having his services here at the building, the family meal, and the beautiful plant.  Our family has been blessed by your kindness. Kristy Beam
