Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Dr. Tom Langdon who passed away March 11. Visitation will be March 18 from 4:00pm-7:00pm at Bryan-Lee Funeral Chapel, Garner. The service will be March 19 beginning at 2:00pm at Bryan-Lee Funeral Chapel, Garner.

There will be a church wide clean up day this Saturday, March 18, from 8:00am-12:00pm. If you are available, there will be something for everyone to do. Hope to see you Saturday!

Holy Java will be open this Sunday from 9:15am-10:40am. Come and enjoy a fresh cup of coffee and fellowship!

Have a few minutes to serve in your church each month? We need greeters for the 10:30 and 11:00 services and ushers for 11:00 worship. Greeting only requires about 15-20 minutes before worship begins and ushering even less time! Now that the offertory has resumed and we are "passing the plates," we need 1 additional usher each week. Please contact Tracey Singleton to become a greeter and Gra Singleton if you are able to help usher. (grantraceysingleton@earthlink.net) Thank you!
