Dear friends,
I am saddened to inform you that Dr. John
Carrier's oldest son died in a car accident yesterday. John is
the senior minister at First, Commerce. It certainly goes
without saying that we will hold this family, their friends and
colleagues in our prayers. We don't know any further details at
this time, we will be passing that along.
Thank you for being the caring community
that you are!
Grace and peace,
Coretha
God
Bless,

RIDE FOR THE REFUGEE
2008
Good servants of God,
It is time again to begin to gather in resources for the RIDE
FOR THE REFUGEE 2008! We are excited and challenged this year.
At this moment we know our FIRST trailer is already full so we
are stepping out in faith and acquiring a SECOND semi trailer
for this year’s ride! Yes we will be taking TWO semi trucks and
trailers to SWGSM this year! WE NEED YOU! We need you
supplies, your clothes your financial donations, and you (if you
want to go with us)! With the price of diesel, this year could
be especially costly! We are going on this ride! God has
called us to it and we will see it through with your help! The
warehouse is built and we want to fill it up to help the
refugees and this ministry! The dates for this year’s ride are
OCTOBER 1st-4th, 2008. You can register
for the ride at http://www.fccpampa.org/RideForTheRefugee/Registration.html.
Won’t you come and help serve the neediest of the needy?
Please forward this email to anyone you know who would be
interested in being apart of this wonderful ministry!
Shalom,
Barry Loving
"...on earth as it is in heaven..."
