6 Birthdays June Birthdays Building Use Requests Growing Pains: We need to put some procedures in place in order to: better schedule the many events going on in the life of the church so that we can avoid conflicts and other logistical problems; give proper notice to those serving us by setting and resetting rooms and providing for our technology needs; protect our worship space and equipment. Therefore, we can no longer reserve a room or put an event on the church calendar unless a Building Use Request Form is completely filled out and turned in to the main office. The Form can be found on the Website under the About Tab, or obtained directly from the Main Office. Filling this out will help us to know what events are being planned, what rooms are being used and what needs you have for set up and technology. We are also asking that unless you have been trained by the church, please refrain from being up in the sound booth at any time. If your ministry has technology needs, please let us know in advance on the Request Form or by contacting Lindsey Pope at and we will make sure that your event is covered by someone who is trained. If you or someone from your ministry is interested in being trained, please contact Lindsey Pope at the above number and we will set up a training session. Thank you in advance for your help and cooperation as we try to serve ALL our ministries better. 1 - Billie Alexander & Anna Hutchings 2 - Jonathan Jackson 4 - Vicki Suttle, Denese Crowder, David Hamblen, & Ariana Payne 5 - Steve Lewis & Brenna Cooper 6 - Aaron Self 7 - Nancy Amberson 8 - Brianna Parker 9 - Justin Fitzpatrick & Marshall Harris 10 - Mary Bean & Haley Halabrin 12 - Stephanie Hutchings & Dylan Loftin Anniversaries 15 - Hannah Stimart & Liam Stoddard 16 - Warren Parker 18 - Josh Hamblen 20 - Emily Armstrong & Katherine Carver 21 - Marcia Swearingen 29 - Eowyn Stoddard & Caroline Gentry 23 - Savannah Brown 24 - Jon Hoppe & Janet Bales 30 - Donald Carver June Anniversaries 3 - Mike & Jennie Landreth 4 - John & Penny Freeman 5 - Charles & Katlin Hodges 6 - Buddy & Trishia Kemp and Aaron & Michelle Self 7 - Norman & Marilyn Lampe 9 - Ron & Janet Bales 10 - Bill & Regenia Pratt and Tom & Eunice Vechinski and Gary & Vicki Suttle 11 - Robert & Lynne Johnson and Tom & Rhea North 12 - Rob & Linda Brown and Jim & Marcia Swearingen 14 - Bob & Marie Marlin 17 - Joe & Bev Fitzpatrick 18 - Bruce & Terri Jones 19 - J.D. & Paula Bonner, Smith & Cheryl Cutter, Wayne & Karen Kohlmann and Donald & Cheryl Carver, and Ryan & Kristin Bode 21 - Rick & Jan Purdy and Earl & Caryn Kretzschmar 27 - Adam & Meghan Griffith 28 - Kurt & Jill Chambless and John & Mary Seneker 29 - Brad & Paula Card *Those in Italics are our missionaries.
