Other Announcements:
Thank you for your support of the addition of our 7 am Sunday morning service which is now open to everyone wearing a mask, practicing social distancing, and observing contact precautions when not in the assembly. This expands the opportunities for Sunday worship to three in-person assemblies (7 am, 9 am, 6 pm). Please continue to pray for an end to the pandemic, for those who are weak or sick, and for those who are healthy that they remain so.
Out of an abundance of care for the safety and well-being of our brothers and sisters, the Shepherds encourage everyone to wear a mask during the more crowded times of entering and exiting the building. As a convenience, masks will be available at all entry doors. This is a measure that is promoted by the CDC, especially to reduce the spread of the virus by the wearer. This is an expression of thoughtfulness of others more than ourselves.
Please join us for a Drive-By Bridal Shower honoring Batey Purvine, bride-elect of Ian Higgins, Sunday, August 30 from 1-2:30 PM. Batey is registered at Patina, Target and Bed, Bath and Beyond. Batey is the daughter of Joe & Mary Beth Purvine.
Join us for the 4×4 Trail Ride on Saturday, August 29. Meet at the Renaissance Center parking lot at 10 AM to travel to Hickman County for an off-road ride. This is open to anyone with a 4X4 car or truck only. (Sorry, no 4-wheelers or dirt bikes on this experience) Also, after the ride all are welcome to have lunch at Fish Camp in Centerville (optional of course). Invite a friend and call the office to reserve your spot.
