We’re going to be rolling out a mass messaging system that will supplement the existing prayer chain and information line.  The messages will come in the form of a text and you can enroll or withdraw at any time.  There will be information sheets explaining the process on the table in the fellowship hall, or you can see Brian Oswald with any questions.

ANNOUNCEMENTS, cont.

“Many, many thanks for the cards, letters, phone calls, and other remembrances that we received on the occasion of our 65^th anniversary.  We remember the years when we were a part of the Locust Grove family as being among the best years of our lives.  These recollections evoke many warm and pleasant memories of the years we were a part of the congregation.  You made our day, now and then!  God’s blessings on all of us as we continue the journey.” ~ Vivian & Dean
