SUMMER ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Lord’s Supper
The Lord’s Supper will be on Sunday
evening, July 1. Because of the
exceptional blessing we have in
this sacrament and the danger of
eating and drinking unworthily, it
is necessary that we come to it with
knowledge, faith, repentance, love
and with hungering and thirsting
souls after Christ and His benefits.
The congregation is encouraged to
use all appointed means, public and
private, to come to the Lord’s Table,
depending upon God for the gracious
preparation of the heart according
to His promise (Psalm 10:17). Our
annual Communion Season will be
August 9-12.
Session/Diaconate
Meetings
Our regular Diaconate meetings will
be held on Monday evening June 18
and July 23, at 6:00 p.m. The Session
will not meet during June and July.

8-15.
Church office closed
The church office will be closed on
July 4 in observance of Independence
Day. The office will reopen on

Point Pleasant Evening Services
Our Sunday evening services at Point Pleasant will continue through
September 2, with singing beginning at 5:15 p.m. and worship at 5:30 p.m. The
facilities will open at 3:00 p.m. for appropriate Lord’s Day leisure activities
for the family. Please note that not all forms of recreation are consistent with
the Fourth Commandment, but only those which directly promote one’s
appreciation and love of God and His Word and works. Consequently, please
show what previous generations called “Sabbath restraint” in all your activities.
We also wish to urge you that the informality of the setting not lead to
inappropriate or immodest attire. Please, no short shorts, bathing suits, halter
tops, or strapless tops should be worn in the worship service. It is important
we dress in a manner that befits such occasions that are meant to sanctify the
people of God and reflect our identity as a “royal priesthood, a chosen nation
and a people belonging to God”…in the world, but not of it. The facilities will
close at 8:30 p.m.
Memorization Recognition
Congratuations to Lillian Virginia Black who has completed Level 1 of the
memorization program. She recited word perfect the Ten Commandments,
the Lord’s Prayer, and the Apostles’ Creed. She will be recognized in one
of our Sunday morning worship services, where she will receive an award
of achievement as well as a gift card and candy. Please take a moment to
congratulate her.
