Dear Church Family,
Thank you all so very much for the many cards, phone calls, emails, and other kind words of encouragement and support following the recent passing of my father. You have been the true body of Christ as you offered sympathy and compassion during a difficult time. I am grateful for the blessing that is you, my church family!
Love,
Janet Ford
Dear FBC Sylva,
Thank you and your caring members for the loving attention provided for the family of Sue Dills. The service was truly a celebration of a life well-lived. Her strong faith was an inspiration to all.
Sincerely,
Susan Cooke Kennedy
Big thanks to our ramp building crew for working hard to ‘have mercy’ on those who need help with mobility in our community.
Our deepest thanks and appreciation for your prayers and loving concern for our son, Mike. What a wonderful Church family you are to us. - Linda and Jimmie Stewart
Thanks to the generosity of our church members, we have approximately $58,000. The Deacon Board has approved letting the campaign continue to September 1.
The new roof for our church will begin May 28. Johnson Roofing will lay the shingles at a lower cost because we are a church. The work on the wall should begin soon. In our initial letter and presentation to you, we listed four projects that needed immediate attention— the Roof, wall, boiler, and windows. We will continue to work for the next three months to accomplish these projects as more money is needed to complete them.
There are two fundraising projects we are working on now. One will be selling the stained glass windows from the Chapel. They are in the Gathering Room. You may buy one for a donation, but there is a reserve on each one, you may pay in the Church Office or pay Jennie or Linda
There is also one new church pillar like the ones in front of the MFC. The reserve on the pillar is $100.
The second project is a tablescape luncheon Saturday, August 24 in MFC. Rebecca Mathis will be our entertainment , singing Broadway hits. If you would be willing to sponsor a table, which would mean selling seven $25 tickets for your table, please see Teresa Manring, Jennie Hunter or Linda Stewart. We will help you with table setting and decoration. If you have any questions, please contact Jennie Hunter at 399-0623 or Linda Stewart at 421-2303.
Our Cuba team will be visiting our partner church in Holguin soon! Some donations requested by the church are: Creams, vitamins, thermometers, pain medicine and fever medicine. Please place them in loving kindness room.
The Have Mercy Challenge team serving the Poorly Clothed in our community will be holding a clothing drive on Saturday, June 1 in the MFC. They are asking for church-wide clothing donations. They will be collecting clothes for the whole month of May. Their goal is to gather clothes for all age groups, including maternity. They need clothes that are in good quality as well as up-to-date (no poodle skirts needed). All clothes that are not claimed will be donated to Sylva Linings. Please leave clothing donations in the Loving Kindness Room in the bin labeled “Serving the Poorly Clothed” by May 31st.
