You know how they say that "you can never go home again?" Well living and serving in Marshville is as close as it gets. Having grown up in a small town in Western Pennsylvania, Sherri is grateful to have returned to her small town roots. Sherri has her undergraduate degree from Youngstown State University in Business Administration. She earned her Master's in Divinity degree from The Divinity School at Duke University. In her third appointment with the Western North Carolina Conference, she is blessed to call Marshville home. She and her husband Jeff will celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary in 2010. Jeff is employed by Harris Teeter, Inc. in Monroe, NC and they are blessed with one son, Patrick. Patrick will soon be stationed at Fort Bragg, NC serving as a combat engineer with the 37th Engineer Battalion. Since coming to Marshville, she has found the church and its members to be a warm and welcoming family whose passion for sharing the love of Christ doesn't stop at the front door nor with each other. It is our hope that our home might become a home for you and your family.
And the effect of righteousness will be peace, and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust forever.
Isaiah 32:17

Women’s Retreat Update — We already had the date, October 8-10. The place has been found — oceanfront, Ocean Isle Beach, NC, sleeps 23. The topic has been chosen — Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World. Now all we need is you! Anticipated cost for the weekend is about $95 which includes lodging and transportation. We’ll have an orientation meeting later on in the summer. If you’re interested in going, we need a $50 deposit by August 15th. Any questions, see Pastor Sherri.
The 2010 Gathering of the Laity at Lake Junaluska is scheduled for Aug. 13-15, at Lake Junaluska. The speakers will be Bishop Larry Goodpaster, Bishop Violet Fisher (retired from the North Central New York Annual Conference) and storyteller Ray Buckley from Alaska. The music leader will be Rev. Mark Barden, with special music by The Sons of Thunder. See Pastor Sherri, Calvin Helms or H.A. Griffin for more information.
The blankets that were made were taken to United Family Services. The sharing of those gifts will enable eleven children to know the real warmth of the love of God in a difficult time. Also, we’d like to keep track of those persons who have shared their gifts in this way. If you’ve made a blanket, please let Pastor Sherri know.
Good news! With your ongoing generosity, we were able to pay off the line of credit to the bank this week. Having met that goal we now turn our attention to reducing the debt we owe ourselves for the purchase of the Hope House property and the other renovations completed on our campus in the last year. Also, please be aware that we had an unexpected expense to repair one of the air conditioning units in the Education Building. Considering the heat as of late, we are grateful for the cool place we have to fellowship and study. Please remember these needs along with care of our budget during the summer months, and thanks to everyone for their continued stewardship.
Mark your calendars. Sunday, August 1 at 6:30 p.m. the Nicaragua Mission Team is sponsoring a “Nic at Night” dessert social. Come enjoy desserts and hear about all the blessings the team experienced on their recent mission trip. And don’t worry, the CCC folks have a special event in the works to celebrate their ministry as well. Watch the c-mail for details!
Time is running out and we need to reschedule the Charlotte Knights baseball game. Please call Tammy Melvin (704) 624-6622 with dates that are convenient for you.
