"We're

super friendly and extremely mission-oriented," said

Alan Sanders, chairman of the Board of Deacons. He

teaches a witness class that instructs people in the

techniques needed to approach people and slowly lead them

to Jesus Christ. It is a three week course that enables

people to develop a friendship with those they would like

to reach and eventually through that friendship talk

about eternal matters.

Over the

past several years members have witnessed to people in

Jamaica, Rumania, Hungry, Austria and India. Witnessing

on a local level is important to the church also, and it

supports the Fayette Samaritans, the Fayette Pregnancy

Crisis Center and at Christmas members participate in an

Angel Christmas Tree, looking after children of families

who have parents in prison.

As a way of

ministering to its own members, the church's fellowship

hall has just been remodeled from stem to stern. There is

new carpeting in the room that will seat 400 at a time,

new flooring in the kitchen as well as all brand new

equipment. It will be tested today with a homecoming pot

luck luncheon.

On hand

will be a former pastor, the Rev. Elmer Stephens.

p.m. and worship services are at 6:30.
