USCU. !Tailgate: 6:00 PM

Free Food! Door Prizes! !Rally: 7:00 PM

Union County Stadium

  I   really  want   to   encourage   our  men   to   attend   the   rally   at   the  Stadium  this  Friday.  It  will  be  perfect  for  guys  of  all  ages,  including  students.  There  will  be  a  march  from  the  USC  Union  gazebo  over  to  the   Stadium,   marching   under   a   banner   that   says,   “Men   of   Union  

County  Uniting  for  Christ.”  At  6:00  PM  a  free  tailgate  party  will  start,  and  the  service  will  kick  off  at  7:00  PM.  Our  own  Bill  Randall  will  be  giving  his  testimony,  along  with  Hank  Parker,  and  then  Mike  Minter,  who  Philippi  has  had  here  twice,  will  bring  the  message.  Door  prizes  include  a  big  TV,  a  weekend  Pishing  trip,  and  other  cool  items.  This  will  be  a  great  chance  to  bring  your  unchurched  friends  to  hear  the  gospel.

Dear Philippi, Thank you so much for all the calls, cards, visits, prayers, and the meal you prepared for

our family during the loss of our loved one, Jeanette Ivey. Each act of kindness was appreciated very much. She loved her church and served as long as her health permitted. Continue to pray for our family as we will continue to pray for you. Philippi is truly a blessing to lots of people. Let’s keep God first always. Love in Christ, Family of Jeanette Ivey ! We would like to express a heartfelt thanks to everyone for their prayers, visits and concerns shown to us during our precious mother’s passing. Your prayers helped sustain us during this difficult time. We truly appreciate the cards that were sent and the memorials given in her memory. The Family of Mrs. Kathleen Kingsmore

  We will be starting another 101 class on May 17th during the 9:00 Bible Study time. This class was created with new believers in mind, but it is something that we think is beneficial for all believers. Over the last 15 months, we have had Christians from all walks of the spir i tual l i fe part icipate, from students to adults. We meet in Room 303 beside the nursery. Please let me know if you wish to sign up.!
