All of us that call the church the foundation of our spiritual lives owe a debt to the generations of faithful believers that paved the way for the church of today. Every one of these saints understood that what they did yesterday would impact all of us today. It is this understanding that should set the course of the church of today, so that the church of tomorrow will have a great spiritual legacy to uphold. We are leaving behind a legacy one way or the other, therefore, let our legacy be marked by outreach, compassion, and the proclamation of the Good News.

In the spring, Amy Gonzalez, Leaderfor Troop 6403, requested to move the troop to Central this fall. A parent meeting was held on August 20 to discuss theth
move and the troop. It is not too late for girls kindergarten and up to be a part of the scouting adventure! Regular meetingswill begin August 27 from 6:15 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. Contact Amy Gonzalez at 601.880.6379 for more information about theth
troop either as a participant or a volunteer!

This is done through games, music, Bible study, art, and computer. If you wouldlike more information on our Sunday night program, please contact Sabrina at [email protected]!
PAX MERIDIANIt was eventful to say the least! The rain may have caused us to move indoors but the “SON” shined through the wholeevent as 347 people turned out for our inaugural PAX MERIDIAN. The line-up of Gypsy, Sarah Margaret Huff, ColtCleveland, and Alex Goldman did a wonderful job of bringing a variety of musical styles to the concert stage.
While they were up front making the night memorable, we cannot forget the countless volunteers who helped set up chairs,man the inflatable games, cook the food, take up tickets, and all the other behind the scene chores that allowed the eventto unfold without a hitch! Many thanks go out to the Student Committee and the parents for all their hard work!
CBS College Bible Study took a brief break but is rested and ready to go for the fall semester. CBS will meet at the home ofMiles & Meme Huff at 7:00 p.m. on Monday night, August 26 for dinner and Bible Study. If you are a college student, youth
