Hands on Jackson

Hands On Jackson will be on Thursday, October 10. We had very good participation last year and are hoping to do as well—or even better—this year! Please contact Team Leader Harold Messer at 828-506-2344 and leave a message if you are willing to volunteer your time to do some landscaping or general clean-up for neighbors in our community. You may also call the church office at 828-586-2095, and Janice can take your information. Thank you!

Congregation-Wide Conversation

The Pastor Search Committee is asking our church family to put Sunday, September 15 on our calendars and to make every effort to be in attendance that day. Before we begin taking resumes, we would like to give you one more opportunity to talk about what you want in a pastor and to do so in small intimate groups that are not rushed and are quieter and more private.   

So, please plan to attend this important meeting.  A hot dog and chips lunch in the MFC following the worship service will be provided by the Kitchen Team and helpers.  Following the meal, we will break up into small groups that will be led by members of the Pastor Search Committee.  —Ann Melton
