Senior Adults—Celebrators 2019

Exciting plans for Celebrators have been coming together and I wanted

to make you aware of this upcoming event in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee,

October 21-24, 2019. You will have the opportunity to experience some

of America’s best speakers, preachers, and musicians while experiencing

the beauty of the Smoky Mountains. During the week, you will hear

David Jeremiah, Phil Waldrep, Charlie Daniels, Jason Crabb, Tim Lovelace,

and the Annie Moses Band. There will also be a special hymn sing with

Greater Vision and their special guests, Jim & Melissa Brady, The Mylon

Hayes Family, and The Mark Trammell Quartet. We plan to travel by

Spirit Coach. The cost of the conference and lodging is $269 double

occupancy. A non-refundable $25 deposit will be due in a few weeks to

secure your reservation. There will be sign up lists in a few weeks. Visit

their website at celebrators.org for more information.

In remembrance of Diehl Martin’s faith and in

appreciation of his great love.

There will be no Wednesday night classes, activities, or WNS this

week due to Spring Break. The group study of The Mind of Christ is

cancelled this week, as well.

Our Girls in Action and Royal Ambassadors want to give a big Thank You to

everyone that was able to come to our Annie Armstrong Soup Luncheon

last week. We appreciate all your support and contributions to the church's

missions fund. A total of $1,628 was collected during this event.
