Welcome Rev. Dr. James H. Nates, Jr.
The Rev. Jim Nates is well known in the area as a retired elder
in the SC United Methodist Conference. But we at Ashland know him
best as one who served as our parish minister for 10 years. Today
we give thanks to Jim for his service and friendship through the
years. In addition, we’ve enjoyed getting to know his lovely wife,
Patsy, his children and grandchildren. And so it is that we give a
hearty welcome to Jim as he leads us in worship today!

everyone have a nice summer and we'll be back in touch in the
fall.

VBS Decorating Extravaganza It is officially June and that means
it’s time to break out the hot glue, duct tape, and space
decorations. If you haven’t already guessed, it is time to decorate
for vacation bible school 2019! The ladies of the Faith Circle will
be hosting a VBS Decorating Extravaganza on Friday, June 14th at
6:00 PM. Everyone is invited to come help transform the halls of
Ashland into the vast expanses of outer space as we prepare for our
mission “To Mars and Beyond.” If you can’t make it for 6:00 PM
that’s okay. Show up when you can. If you would like to help
decorate, but cannot make it next Friday, that’s okay too! Just let
Tina Mastin or Erin Harrelson know when you would like to come and
we will make sure that there is something to do! Tina Mastin

there!
