WITH LOVE AND APPRECIATION FOR

BOBBY BLANTON

We give thanks to God for Bobby and for his ministry through music. He will begin his 7th year of service with our church this Sunday as our Music Director. He began serving with us on June 25, 2000. In addition to his responsibilities with the Adult Choir, worship planning, leading our congregational worship, musicals and other special events, Bobby works with the Quartet and the Praise Team who have touched our hearts in many ways. We have been richly blessed through his gifts and abilities and are so grateful that he, Carla, Christopher and Jonathan are part of our family. Pray for the Blantons daily as they seek to faithfully live out God’s call in their lives.

COLLEGE MINISTRY

We would love to have a current address for each of our college students. Please call us or email us with contact information for the new school year. Each student will be listed on our weekly prayer sheets on a rotating basis. New freshmen are invited to join our College and Career Sunday School Class this summer so that you can take part before you leave for school.
