There have been questions asked about whether or not the janitor adds water to the hand soap dispensers in the ladies’ bathrooms.  She DOES NOT add water.  We purchase Soft Soap liquid soap to use.  If you have any questions, please talk to Beth in the church office.

“On behalf of the Lewis & Ruby Miller family, we would like to thank Locust Grove for all the love and support you have given us over the past months.  What a comfort you have been to us this year as we had to say goodbye to both mom and dad.  Thank you for the cards, visits, meals, phone calls and even lawn care.  We are forever grateful for your kindness.”
