SAINTS ALIVE
Wow! We had a great week. Mondays
rehearsal was super with some old friends
returning and some new friends joining. Invite
your friends to come! We have members from
other churches that sing praises with us not
just our church and not just Baptist. We have a
marvelous time singing and fellowshipping. We have new
music and Easter music to sing and ring! In March we will be
taking our talents to the nursing homes to share Gods love
with them.
The Fellowship Club met on Monday, February 6th. We had
46 in attendance. There was a delicious spread of South
Georgia cooking. Thank you to Clarene and Lewis Jones for
organizing the lunch, cleaning up, etc. Thanks also to Barbara
and Harold Fleshman and others that worked so hard in the
kitchen. Thank you to Sandy Howell and Dot Connell for the
beautiful Valentine decorations on the tables. Mr. Lynn
Roberts provided the entertainment by singing and playing
guitar for our group. The first Monday of each month our
Fellowship Club meets and shares a covered dish. Our church
provides the meat and everyone else brings whatever they
wish to bring. After lunch we enjoy different entertainment
each month.
Have a wonderful week!
In Him, Myra
