News from the church and session

February 11, 2025

On January 26th, the congregation elected officers to serve terms beginning in 2025. Bill Napier and Mary Ann Sparks were re-elected to the session with the church's thanks for their prior service, and R.H. Stamper and Corina Lopez were elected deacons. Bill and R.H. were installed on the 26th. Corina will be ordained, and she and Mary Ann will be installed soon, probably on February 16th. Our thanks to Linda Stamper and to Helen Combs for their diaconate terms that have just ended.

While driving south for Thanksgiving, I had a pleasant stop in Tennessee to visit with Tom and Gayle Burns. Tom, especially, keeps in contact with the Facebook users.

The recent winter storm left some of us snowed in and many of us were without water for ten days. Our thanks to custodian Josh Gilley for shoveling driveways and delivering water.

The weather has not prevented us from continuing to meet for a potluck, fellowship, and Bible study on Wednesday evenings. Come at 6:00 p.m. even if you aren't bringing food.

Many of you are familiar with Jimmy Moore's book, "A Pictorial History of Witherspoon College." The Buckhorn Alumni Association, which owns the copyright, has authorized the church to reprint 80 copies, and these are now available. The book itself, a bound 8.5x11" paperback, is available for $15, and those of you that prefer to have the book on your computer can buy a flash drive for $5 that contains both the entire book and a folder with all the individual pages for convenience in printing. For $4, there are also CDs in jewel cases for those who prefer that format.

If you have news for this page, please let me know.
