COMING SOON… 67th Annual Carolina Lectureships – April 3-6
Ladies Day with Mimi Tate (Texas) – April 30
Gospel Meeting with Brad Harrub – June 24-26

We’re having a great week in beautiful Columbia, South Carolina! The Men’s Fellowship at Gold Hill Road in Fort Mill last Saturday was fantastic. Nine of us from St. Andrews Road made the trip. We were encouraged by the sermons we heard and edified by the Christian fellowship. I’m already looking forward to next year’s event.

We had a great Men’s and Preachers’ Meeting on Tuesday. Brother Stewart Schnur did an outstanding job on the topic: “The Work of Faithful Deacons.” We meet for study and fellowship every third Tuesday in the month at 10:00 a.m. in the fellowship hall at St. Andrews Road. Our next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, April 19th at 10:00 a.m. Brother Larry Reynolds, preacher for the Leslie church of Christ will present the program on “The Relationship of Faithful Deacons to the Eldership They Serve.” Mark your calendar and make plans to be here for this meeting.

The 67th Annual Carolina Lectures is now on two weeks away, April 3rd through April 6th. If you can help, please sign-up on the bulletin board in the lobby. We need your help! We will have a special meeting at the front of the auditorium immediately following our Sunday morning worship hour this Sunday, March 20th to make assignments and discuss the details of the program. Please make plans to meet with us this Sunday as we discuss this great service opportunity. Also, on the table in the lobby you will see a stack of brochures that detail the Carolina Lectures program. Please pick up as many as you need and get them to anyone who might want to attend. If you would like a copy of the program emailed to you, please email me at mickburleson@yahoo.com and I’ll get a copy to you asap.

Congratulations to McKinsey Wagner! McKinsey has been attending St. Andrews Road for quite some time. She made the trip with our youth group to the SOAR Youth Rally last weekend and responded to the invitation of Jesus Christ at the end of the program. She confessed Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and put Him on in baptism (Acts 8:37, Galatians 3:26-27). Make sure you meet McKinsey and let her know how proud we are of her decision to become a Christian.

This Sunday morning we will have a very special guest preacher with us; Brother Eddie Ridgell. Brother Ridgell preaches for the Lord’s church in Watertown, South Dakota and is very special to us as a brother in Christ, a faithful gospel preacher, and a Carolinian. It will be great to see him and have the privilege of hearing him preach the good news.

Some of you, along with your neighbors will be receiving a very special copy of the “House to House – Heart to Heart” publication in the next few days. We made arrangements to have this fine Christian magazine sent out to about 1800 homes around our facilities at 425 St. Andrews Road introducing the church to the community and at the same time announcing the Carolina Lectures. We ordered addition copies of this publication. As soon as they arrive we will place them on one of the tables in the lobby. Take only one per family please.

We are a busy congregation. I’m glad. It certainly is great to be a Christian!
