A Marvelous Resource From Our New Denomination
The ECO had its national Synod meeting a few weeks ago in Greenville, SC. Several of our
St. Giles people were in attendance, and have shared stories since returning. Now the videos of the presentations are on line, and you can all take advantage of what was preached and taught.
In particular we can recommend: James Choung on how to reach various generations for Christ, and Jim Singleton on why we value women's full partnership in ministry roles. But they are all worth your while. Enjoy!

Upcoming Israel Presentation: March 26
Doug and Carla McMurry recently took their third trip to Israel, with Brad and Laura Long of PRMI, to explore God's purposes in introducing them to Messianic Jews there. It was an amazing trip, full of unexpected encounters and "divine appointments." The McMurrys will give a report on their trip here at St. Giles on Sunday, March 26, at 12:30 p.m. In addition to a report on the ministry trip itself, Doug will describe God's unique plan for Jerusalem as "The City of the Great King." A light lunch will be provided.

Take a Look at the Floor
and Remember a Friend
Across the years many saints here at St. Giles joined in making our sanctuary a place wonderfully suited for worship. One who gave that pursuit special zeal and leadership was Aubrey Featherston. Some years ago, when we outfitted the floors with marble, he oversaw the operation for the Elders, and was very proud of the results.
So recently, when we removed a row in the front and used some of the left-over marble to fill the gap, Aubrey's wife, Betty, provided the means to do so in his memory. The transition is complete now. Make your way to the front of the sanctuary and see. We think Aubrey would approve!
Special thanks also go to Walt Hitchcock and Rob Green, who did great work removing and returning the pews to their places.
