Bits from Beth - May 16, 2025
Dear Friends,
May is halfway over! This week we had preschool graduation. Families are traveling to campuses to attend college and grad school graduations. Camden Fairview holds its graduation Friday night! It is end of the year with concerts, recitals, and awards ceremonies. And celebrations, lots of celebrations.
While we have many birthdays this month (Cynthia’s is today) we especially recognize two very special women. Mattie Upton will turn 107 on May 23rd, that is a week from today! Think about all the changes she has experienced in her lifetime, including two pandemics. We also celebrate Dot Everett who will turn 96 on May 31st. Both Mattie and Dot have been trying to return to church so let’s continue to pray for their healing and their strength. Just because you cannot get out as much, does not mean that your church has stopped praying for you, thinking about you, and loving you!
We want to thank Bernie Dickson and her kitchen team for the beautiful potluck last Sunday. Spencer McCullough did the beautiful balloon arch in the Great Hall. Patsy Hale has wanted us to have red tablecloths for many years and we finally received them and used them Sunday. The Great Hall looked amazing and the food was fabulous.
This Sunday, our Vacation Bible School team will start preparing us for VBS during Children’s Time. The theme is Road Trip so we expect to have a fabulous time since Jesus since most of his ministry on the road. (walking not driving!) Registration has become so talk to your neighbors and friends. It is going to be wonderful!
Our Leadership Board will meet this week to discuss how we will finance our roof repairs and other situations that have arisen. Mike Murphree, our Board Chairmen, will give you a full report once plans are finalized. As you know, we have been having difficulty with our sound system and our hearing devices. Bensberg has informed us we need a new soundboard and hearing system so that will be a part of the package as well. The problem with the radio broadcast is not on our end so that should be restored this Sunday.
Hope you will join us for another very special worship service this Sunday.
Grace and peace,
Beth
