Each Sunday, we have clergy from different churches that visit us to lead the service, and we are blessed to have great music to accompany the great message!On September 6th, we welcome the Rev. C.E. “Smoke” Kanipe. Smoke was appointed as Senior Minister at Shandon United Methodist in June 2016. He says even back in his childhood days, one of the things he would tell folks he wanted to be when he grew up was a pastor.Music this Sunday will be provided by Michael Waters.

AROUND THE HOUSE by Linda Packer Young
The first day of fall is Tuesday, September 22, at 8:04 p.m. EDT. It will be time to examine your surroundings and prepare to drag out the rakes and leaf blowers. It’s also a good time for fall housekeeping and to check your closet for items to store until spring springs again. It would also be a good time to sort out things you didn’t wear last winter and donate them to those charities that need them.
