Another month has flown by and we are still dealing with COVID and hurricanes! Blessedly, hurricanes have passed us by. Many prayers have been said for our Texas and Louisiana neighbors who have had much more than their fair share of hardships in 2020.

Bulletin! Bulletin! Bulletin! Our choir is now allowed to rehearse and sing again on Sunday mornings! All of our choir members have missed being able to gather together and sing. Maybe this is the start of more normal times returning. God is good.

Prayer at the Pole was held at our church this year. POC School was unable to host it because of the pandemic. Sadly, it was not well attended because teachers and students were not able to be there. That didn’t stop those who were there from praying for our country, our president and government leaders.

The Samaritan’s Purse Shoe Box Project has been growing and growing. We had a work day last week to fill boxes. Our goal of 100 boxes, set in January, could become a reality, even though we have had to deal with so many obstacles. Many donations have come from church members, but just as many have come from wonderful people in and out of our community who have a heart for the children that will receive these gifts. THANK YOU, EVERYONE!

Our pastor, Phillip Miller, is waiting to welcome you to any of our services and activities. We abide by all the COVID guidelines and you can feel safe when you are in our buildings. Sunday school is at 9:45 and church services are at 11:00 and 6:00. Tuesday at 3:00 is women’s Bible study and men meet at 7:00. Prayer meeting and youth activities are Wednesday evening at 6:00. If you have questions or needs, please call Pastor Miller at 870-681-0541.
