We know that Methodists enjoy good food, so we are joining Family Ministries in sponsoring the potluck. We will then move to the sanctuary where we will praise our Lord in song along with hearing testimonies of Martin Patch and Diane Wilhite. Also, keep in mind that we will close our service with a Time for Healing. Please know that all are welcome. Are you or a friend in need of any type of healing?
