12 July 2019 – Advent Announcements

Pastor Scott’s Heart Surgery is scheduled for Thursday, July 18, 2019 starting around 6:00 a.m. He will be on medical leave through September 8, 2019. In his absence, Advent Worship will be led by Pastor Larry Lineberger July 21 & 28 and Pastor Greg Williamson August 4, 11, 18, & 25.

Prayer Vigil: We would like to hold Pastor Scott, Gina, the family, and the medical team in our prayers throughout the surgery on that day. The church will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. You are invited to spend as much time as your schedule allows in prayer and meditation – either at the church or wherever you may be. Suggested prayers are included here: Walking Together in Prayer July 2019. Through these or your own prayers, you can ask God to guide and protect Pastor Scott as he faces surgery and healing.

When you visit the site, you can select an option to receive an email when there are any new postings by clicking on the ‘Following’ button to the right of the picture.

The meals can be delivered to the church on Sunday when you’re there for services. Meals should be for 2 people and should include main dish, side/salad and dessert. Consider including breakfast or snack items and sending your meal in a disposable container that doesn’t need to be returned. Sign up and get more details here.
