Report from the
The Antioch Mission Committee led the
congregation in a program called “Two Cents per Meal”. This program will help
the Lunenburg Ministries resolve a short fall in their ability to distribute
food to the needy in our community. The containers were handed out and returned
on Palm Sunday. We took the contents of
all the containers and delivered them during Community Palm Sunday Service in
Kenbridge. At that time $234.00 was delivered by our church. Miscellaneous
change can amount to something and be put to good use. Thanks to all who took
part in this event.

Sunday
School is available each Sunday
morning. The importance of Sunday School
is that, though you may think hearing the word will suffice for you, you really
need to be in attendance at Sunday School to gather all the information that
you can in an open discussion classroom. Jesus’ word cannot be totally understood just
by listening to a sermon. You have to
interact with it and with other Christians to learn what He was saying to us. This is a life long study and you should take
part. There is a class for every age so
please plan on joining us to learn more about our Lord, Jesus Christ. Sunday
School at Williams begins at 10:45 AM and at
Evening Bible Study. Evening Bible study will continue on March 24 at
7:00PM at
Morning Bible Study. Evening Bible study will continue on March 25 at 10:00AM
at Audrey Smith’s house. We will be reviewing the first 10 chapters of the Book
of Judges. We will discuss the events depicted in the book. If you are looking
for a study of God’s word join us not only for the study, but good fellowship.
If
you cannot reach Rev. Ed at the parsonage, you may call him on his cell
phone: 252-532-0952. He can also be reached via e-mail at revedumc@yahoo.com . If you would like to receive e-mail messages
