March 2003 Newsletter
Brethren,
One Nation Under God..........
Notice that there is no comma
after nation. Worshipful Brother Roy Harris very appropriately asked us,
at a January meeting, to recite the pledge of allegiance without the comma, and
we will continue to do that.
Since our last newsletter, we have
successfully raised $500.00 for our charities from the Valentine fundraiser on
February 10th. . Special thanks to Jr. Deacon Randy Williams and his
family and all those who helped prepare the meal. Also, many thanks to
Brother Tommy Rich for the use of his cooker.
Brother Barry Tucker announced
that April 28th. is the date for our second fundraiser. The Golf
Tournament will be that day at Eagle Ridge Golf Course on Old Stage Road.
Please see Brother Barry's separate article in the Newsletter for details.
Most of you know by now that the
Lord called my mother home on February 7th.. Her sickness and passing
have been a challenge for me and my family. We will continue to need your
support and prayers.
