The annual Atchley Fish Fry and Silent Auction at the Pearl Church of Christ last Sunday was a huge success! As of this writing, $9,198 has been raised to benefit His Kids and local scholarships!
The church wishes to heartily thank everyone involved in this endeavor. It truly takes a village! There were 135 people in attendance, which ties the record! If you look up Pearl Church of Christ on Facebook, you can view all of the wonderful pictures of the day’s events. The leftover items will be out in the church dining room for another week if you would like to drop by and browse. All those items are “take what you want, pay what you want,” and you can leave your money in the collection tray on the Communion Table. You may find that certain “thing” you’ve been wishing for and blessing a very worthy cause at the same time.
As wonderful as the auction was, it was an even greater blessing that two of the number were baptized immediately following the church service! God certainly showered Pearl with tremendous blessings on September 3….
…and, speaking of showers, it rained that Sunday afternoon. So far, at this writing, it’s just enough to settle the dust, but we’re all thankful for what we can get. Keep those prayers going up.
Today is Bluegrass and Bookstore Day in Pearl. You have so many reasons to go to Pearl today: great music in the Pearl Community Center, lots of shopping and visiting in the Pearl Cottage Bookstore, and “Buy What You Want, Pay What You Want” items in the Pearl Church of Christ dining room. You know you want to, so hitch up the team and head ‘em out. There’s no place like Pearl!
The Pearl Church of Christ will have their 128th Homecoming and Reunion on October 15th. Remember, church begins at 10:30 a.m., and dinner on the ground will follow. Everyone is invited to all of these Pearl events!
This week’s Bible verse comes Isaiah 48:1. “This is what the Lord says—your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: ‘I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go’.” NIV
Please pray for rain and cooler weather, our country, and our schools.
