Dear Bro. McKinley, I wanted to write to you today and share some wonderful news. As you know, our driveways at the the church are in pretty bad shape. I made contact with Bellsouth recently and ask if I could meet with a company rep in reference to the damage one of their trucks did to our blacktop. Two men from Bellsouth met with me just a few short minutes ago and said that the company would fix not only the chuckhole their truck made, but also the driveway that their trucks use on a regular basis. In all, their willingness to help us out in our moment of need has just saved the church about $4000. Praise the Lord. Shannon

What a wonderful time of worship. On September 30, 2006 Pine Grove celebrated Friends and Neighbor Day. We had approximately 325 in attendance. This day was designed for the Pine Grove neighborhood. We had a representative from the sheriffs department discussing the neighborhood watch program. Fun was had by all in attendance. We have just completed a flooring project in our fellowship hall where we installed ceramic tile. We had revival October 15-18 with our local ministers.

We recently honored one of our Sunday school teachers for her many ...

Greetings, Just thought I let you know we had a great day at Turtletown yesterday. We had 101+ for Sunday School and 120 for morning worship. I preached on forgiveness and six were saved in a wonderful alter service, 5 adult men and one young lady. One of the men prayed through to the Holy Ghost. Our total morning offering was $278.00 plus about $360.00 to the parsonage building fund was pleaged. The Watson Trio were our special singers and we served over 200 peices of Chicken, along with all the trimmings. God is Good! Brother Barry Lee

Hello Bro. McKinley, Just thought I'd share a praise report. We baptized four this morning and had well over 100 in attendance. Praise the Lord for all he is doing at Lawrence Chapel. Pastor Farmer
