Richmond's Rumblings

Richmond’s Rumblings

One of the joys of being in Neosho is that our congregation budgets assistance each month to a variety of agencies who try to reach people in need throughout our area. One of those is the Help Center that distributes food to those who need a hand up every so often. Evidently, the Help Center has been doing just that for many years, and according to our good friend Mrs. Henry, has shifted its status to being a 501c 3, or a “private nonprofit” classification in terms for the IRS. Such a shift, Mrs. Henry indicates, means that the Help Center is seeking those who wish to serve on their new Board of Directors. Subsequently, if any of you either yourselves or perhaps know of someone who might be interested in serving on the Help Center’s new Board, please contact either our church office or me and your name will be forwarded to Mrs. Henry, who will be the Board’s secretary. 

 Another means of assistance for all of us to consider is attending the Help Center’s fundraising dinner on Saturday, September 13 hosted by our sister church the Rocketdyne Church of Christ. If you wish to attend the event, please contact Mrs. Henry directly through her email by September 10. This should be a marvelous experience as well as a worthwhile endeavor toward continuing the aiding our sisters and brothers across the Neosho area. In the meantime, our soon-to-be fall season really began with a splash with the Youth and adults pool party last Friday, the 15th! Thanks to Jacquie, Rosemary, and everyone else who helped make our event so much fun! May God continue to bless our congregation with joy and peace—

Shalom, Live Long, and Prosper,

Richmond
