Father's Day - June 15
A
Father's Influence
Studies
show that if the mother of a family attends worship, there's a 16 percent
chance that the rest of the family will also attend.
Yet
when a father attends worship, there's a 93 percent chance that other
family members will be present, too.
Just think,
Dad, of the clout you have. Hope to see you in church this weekend!

Building and Grounds Workday!
A
workday is planned for Saturday, June 21, beginning at 9:00 a.m. to
perform some much needed painting, repair, and refurbishment. Any and all
talents are welcome! Contact Phil Beckwith (238-4281) or Kevin Cribbs
(275-7213) for details.
The
Building and Grounds Team would also like to thank Jeff Jackson, John
Wood, Lewis Jones, Dick Borry, Tom Wall and Tami Wall for their
behind-the-scenes work over the past month. Jeff has been making repairs
to the playground and has displayed his plumbing skills in the Fowler
room kitchen. John continues to paint and repair some of our older,
weather-beaten windows. Dick and Lewis tackled our drainage and septic
problem by installing a roof water run-off barrier over the septic tank
and did such a good job that their work is unnoticeable. Tom and Tami
painted the CDC office and Tom has installed new commode seats and
replaced several lights in the building.
Thank
you all,
...

Father's Day
The
first Father's Day is thought to have been in July 1908, in Fairmont,
West Virginia. Grace Golden Clayton suggested the special observance to
her pastor after a deadly explosion in a nearby town killed 361 men.
Soon
after, Sonora Smart Dodd of Spokane, Washington, wanted to show her gratitude
to her father, who'd cared for the family after his wife died. Dodd asked
her pastor to choose a June Sunday to honor all fathers, and he selected
June 19, 1910.
In
1924, President Coolidge suggested that Father's Day become a national
holiday. In 1966, President Johnson designated the third Sunday of June
to be Father's Day. Six years later, President Nixon instituted
Father's Day as a national observance.
