Prayer Focus: Please lift up our entire VBS program and pray that God will use Piney Grove in awesome ways to reach our community for Christ. Pray for our leaders, volunteers, and each child that will participate. Give thanks to the Lord for the all the provisions he has provided even before we asked. He has blessed us beyond what we ever imagined and we pray that we will in turn be a blessing to others in His name.

FROM CONSTITUTION & BYLAWS COMMITTEE
After our last church business conference, the church voted to approve several amendments and changes to the bylaws. At the meeting, one organization stated that an amendment had been made earlier. We found no reference to this in the church bylaws. Our committee is asking that any other committee or organization that believes they have a similar situation please bring evidence of any prior change to Fred Burt, Committee Chair. They will meet on those and bring them before the next church conference.
