KENNY MCKAY ACCEPTS EXPANDED ROLE AT WOODLANDS PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
On Saturday morning November 22, 2008 at a Special Called Session Meeting, the Elders at Woodlands Presbyterian Church voted unanimously to expand Kenny McKayÂ’s part time job description from being the Minister of Music to a full time position to include being the Minister of Evangelism, Discipleship and Mission. Kenny accepted this Call from the Lord Jesus and Woodlands Presbyterian Church with enthusiasm. Along with his Music responsibilities, Kenny will be guided by the Holy Spirit to initiate and develop ministries to welcome more guests, hopefully increase membership, enhance Biblical instruction and involve more individuals in Mission Outreach. His new position began on January 1, 2009. A letter from Dr. Farley to all members of the congregation was written and sent to explain in more details the whys, whats, whens and hows. A public announcement of this exciting news was given in Sunday Morning Worship on November 23, 2008. A more formal Service of Commissioning and a reception took place January 18, 2009. We are all proud to share the joy of this special time as we join in GodÂ’s grace and work to better know Jesus Christ and make Him known through Worship, Bible Study, Fellowship and Mission Outreach.

Lain Rodgers and her loyal and faithful volunteer helpers prepare food every Saturday at The Master's Table to needy families and residents of Hot Springs. Lain and her husband started their free meal ministry six years ago this coming Thanksgiving. Lain had just moved back from Dallas and observed some children in back of one of the old Motels on Park Ave. going through the trash and trying to eat some pizza from a box that had been thrown away. She felt that there was something she could do to help so she started The Master's Table. They expect to serve over 17,000 lunches this year. They can always use paper towels, napkins, paper cups (12 oz.), plastic forks and spoons. They can also use men's and children's used clothing. On most Saturdays over 400 people receive their food served to them by volunteers. Woodlands helpers ready to serve people shown above are: L-R Nancy Alkov, Claudia Knudsen, Cosy Clegg, and Carol Wolever Volunteers from Woodlands Church that went down to The Master's Table in Hot Springs to serve those in need of a warm meal. If you would like to sign up to serve at The Master's Table in October see Noranne Glezen or Milly Sowders. FOOD DONATIONS NEEDED The Mission Ministry Team asks that you remember those who are hungry and in need by giving non-perishable food items each Sunday. The need for adult clothing has been met at this time. |
