Good-Bye to a Dear Friend!

 This week our dear elder, Steve McCormack, left Eastern North Carolina and moved back to his home state of Kansas to be near all his family there. Steve, we love you and appreciate all your dedication to our church and to God's work here. May He bless you and keep you in your new adventures back in Kansas! Keep in touch.

The crowd at snack last Sunday, wishing Steve (center in black shirt) a fond farewell and God's blessings.

12th Annual Thanksgiving Dinner!

 

Annual Covered Dish Dinner on Dawson Creek

Tonight we enjoyed another fabulous gathering at the Halls' home -- perfect, glorious weather,

wonderful food, fun games, great conversations and fellowship.

What an exceptional evening!

We all stayed until it began to grow dark.

Many thanks to the Halls for their wonderful hospitality!

Happenings in Recent Months

This past week many of our church folks gathered at Gary's Seafood 

for a delicious lunch together and great fellowship!

On Saturday, a very welcoming baby shower was given for a granddaughter of our church and her new husband, as they await their new baby.

Even gathering at the church to clean the kitchen and bathrooms can turn into a party! Look at those smiles.

Pastor Adam Christiansen was the narrator for the Oriental live nativity in December.

Thanksgiving Day, many friends in the community gathered in the fellowship hall for our annual Thanksgiving Dinner, always a wonderful time with amazing food.

The Community 5th Sunday Sing in the autumn was a great event! So many churches participated, the music was excellent, and the fellowship was so heart-warming!
