Pilgramge 2014

What a great weekend with the youth!  Our group of 24 youth and 5 adults met with 5,476 of our "closest" Methodist friends in the North Carolina conference at the Crown Coliseum.  The message was brought in a humorous and meaningful way by the Skit Guys, and we were blessed by the beautiful voice of Heather Williams.  The messages and words of Heather Williams' songs were Spirit-filled and led many to Christ that evening, including some of our own youth, who said YES to Jesus on Saturday night.  Praise the Lord!  The weekend wouldn't have been complete without an afternoon of gleaning sweet potatoes from a local farmer's field.  Of course, put a bunch of middle and high school boys in a potato field, and potatoes will go flying!  At the end of our time gleaning, the farmer's prayer and thanksgiving over being able to help those in need touched out hearts, deeply.  Finally, on Sunday morning we celebrated the Lord's Supper with 5,500 people, including Bishop Ward.  What a wonderful experience!

November 16 Sermon will be "Seeing the Need for Gratitude" which will be based on Luke 17:11-19.  What are you thankful for?  Have you told anyone?  More importantly, have you told God?

Our Annual Charge Conference will be held Nov. 16 at 2:45 pm in the choir room with a sub-district worship service at 3:15 and refreshments at 4 pm.
