Oh, oh, HEY!
Let the vast voyage begin!
This was truly a very successful Vacation Bible School, and I am so honored to have been a part of it. Thank you to all of the ship’s crew leaders and deck hands for being my mainstay, the strong rope that serves to steady and support the mainmast of a sailing vessel.
In my opinion, VBS is the best week of the year. Cameron Cobb, a 4th grade boy agrees. He told me, "Mrs. James, I said it last year, and I'll say it again. I wish VBS was everyday!" Aye-Aye, Lord!

Women's Retreat Scheduled
November 5 - 7, 2010
(Yes, Friday-Sunday)
Did you guess that 3:00 in England is "tea time?" This year our retreat will be "English Tea Time for Women of God." Join us as we discover moments of God's grace in Tranquili-tea, Frivoli-tea, Beau-tea, Sereni-tea, and Availabili-tea. So re-mark your calendars, and plan to spend Friday night to Sunday afternoon at our lovely "English Tea" - somewhere completely different!
New 2010 Church Member Directories are now available.
