_{Greetings to all.} 

_{As the summer turns continues for some. Most of the school children are back in
school in the south. And it is still early Aug. Our school will be starting in Aug.}

_{Soon everything is winding up for the 1st day of the school year. The supplies are
ready. Even the building is ready to hear the sounds of students working there
assignments. While the students are out for summer break. We did not have chapel.
As I look over this past summer God has really blessed. Our regular meeting have
been a blessing and have been attended well. Even though some of the time our
people were on there vacation.}

_{If you did not attend the Revival meeting in June with Bro. Buddy Blunkall and his
family. You missed a treat. Bro. Buddy poured his heart out to us and encouraged us
all.
The 4th of July annual picnic was a time of fellowship and just have fun together as a
Christian family. Every year God allows us to have it. The picnic gets better and
sweeter. As we praise the Lord for not only what he has done in the church but
provided safety to this nation.
During the summer some our youth went to Faith Baptist Youth Camp in Pell City,
AL and Philadelphia Baptist Church in Opelika AL to attend a youth camp. I
understand that each one who attend the meeting was blessed by these youth
meetings.
This year for our 26th Anniversary service in Oct. We are expecting a extra blessing
for God. It does not seem like it but in a few weeks, 26 years ago. We were in a store
front building with just a few members. God has brought us along way. Look at us
now.
As I look past our Anniversary service into the fall then the winter months and
beyond. We look forward to God moving in a marvelous way in each one of our
hearts and also in our church. Please keep checking on what God is doing at New
Testament Church.}
