COMING THIS MONTH: DINNER THEATER
Wednesday, July 23rd 6:30 p.m. – Dinner 7:15 p.m. – Movie
Yes, we will show a movie following our monthly Fellowship Dinner – invite your friends and neighbors – especially those who are not currently involved in a church!
Watch the Sunday morning bulletins or call the church office (740-867-3848) for the title of the movie. We ask that you bring a vegetable, salad, casserole or dessert to share, as well as a non-perishable food item for the CMO food pantry. In keeping with trying to reduce the amount of trash in our country’s landfills, remember to bring your own (non-disposable) table service, if possible. For our guests, and for those who forget, table service will be provided. ______________________________________________________________________ We offer our deepest sympathy to the family of Deloris Wall who passed away June 5th. A funeral service was held Monday, June 16th at our church. We also offer our deepest sympathy to the family of Thelma Hesson who passed away on Saturday, June 14th at her home. A funeral service was held Friday, June 20th at Schneider-Griffin Funeral Home with a burial following at Rome Cemetery. Both Ms. Wall and Ms. Hesson were beloved members of our church family and will be deeply missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with their families during this difficult time.
BABY BOTTLE BLESSINGS Thank you to those who gave toward the Two Hearts Pregnancy Care Center during their annual Baby Bottle Drive. With your help we were able to make a sizeable donation to the organization.
SPECIAL THANKS We would like to extend a special thank you to those who helped make our Annual Ice Cream Social such a success. The help we received, both making and eating the ice cream, was appreciated, as always. The event was held Saturday, June 21st in the church yard. We had a nice crowd, great weather, and plenty of ice cream, food, and games to enjoy. Thanks again and we look forward to seeing you next year! _____________________________________________________________________ Dear Pastor Daryl Fourman and The Chesapeake UMC, On behalf of The Gideons International, I want to express my sincere thanks to your Church for your offering of $171.00 for the support of the Gideons Ministry. This is tangible evidence of the love your Church has for making the Word of God available to those who otherwise may not have a copy. Your donation will enable 34 Bibles or 125 Testaments to be purchased and placed. We can pray that many precious souls will come to a saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as a result of these Scriptures being distributed. Thank you for your prayerful support for this ministry. Sincerely your Brother in Christ Jerry Malavenda ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ NEW MEMBERS Congratulations to Courtney Baker, Jessie Noble, and Amy Porter on becoming members of the Chesapeake United Methodist Church on Easter Sunday, March 23rd, 2008.
