….And the Lord added to their number day by day. WELCOME TO KAREN WILEY We are indeed happy that Karen Wiley came forward at the close of worship last Sunday to present herself for membership in our congregation. She comes on reaffirmation of faith and transfer of letter from Port Caddo Baptist Church. Many thought Karen was already a member since she has worshipped with us a number of years and has been involved through Angel Food, Bunnie Mae Pugh Circle, Finance Committee, and other areas of the church’s ministry. It is a joy to welcome her into the full fellowship of our church family. Karen and her husband Mike live at 102 Pine Haven Rd. (Shadowood) and their telephone number is 903-927-2989. |
