Our church now has three special funds. One is the Church Renovation Fund. This fund has been established by the Session to offset the cost of needed interior and exterior repairs and replacements. If you have questions concerning this fund, contact Building and Operations Chairman Rick Miller, and if you can help, please write "FUND" on your check and place it in the offering plate. The second newly established fund is the New Sign Fund. This fund has been established to pay for new signage on all corners of the grounds of our church property. Approximately $10,000 will be needed for this project. If you are able to help, please put "SIGN" on your check and place it in the offering plate. For more information on this project please contact Membership Chairman Chris Holman. The third is the Memorial Windows Fund which is described in the box to the right.

In Memoriam On January 8, 2006, Ronald Moore passed away. He was known to be the most caring and loving person to everything and everybody. He will be sadly missed by everyone who knew him. I would like to thank the Daytimers and Deacons for loving cards and food. I would like to thank the Church Congregation for their concern and prayers. Special thanks to Carolyn LaVeck, Judy and Jerry Summers, and a very special thanks to Reverend Doyel and Johnnie who were both there. I walked out of the funeral home and people were standing around talking. One of them said "That preacher said it all!" And he sure did! He gave a beautiful service. I will always miss and remember my brother, Ron. But I know I’ll see him again some day. Thanks, Linda Cork

Can’t You Hear Him? By Richard Hobbs Listen, can’t your hear Him? Listen and you will, When the breeze blows through the trees He is talking to you and me. And can’t you feel Him? He is with us day and night Keeping us warm and making Things right. And can’t you see Him? He is there and all around In the morning when the sun comes up He is there And as the sun sets in the west He paints the sky with all his beauty Just for you and me to see And then at night as we fall asleep He is there with our soul he keeps.
