A big thank you to our trustees for all the work they have

they be blessed for sharing their time and talents to take care of our church
building and grounds.
The Worship
Commission is planning to have Locust Grove worship service at Amigo
Pavilion on Aug. 1. There will be no Sunday
school that morning and a fellowship meal after the service. Garry &
Ruth Denlinger will be with us that morning and will give us an update on their
work in Israel. After the meal, Garry &
Ruth will have time to share further regarding their work. We would encourage
you to plan to stay and visit with them.
If
you have musical abilities you would be willing to share with the congregation,
please notify Pastor Matt, Kim Schwartz, Katrina Hasbrouck or Gerri Schwartz.
