Our Church is pleased to support CBF Global Missions in moments like these where bearing witness to Jesus Christ takes place through practicality of beloved community. "The doorbell rang one morning before any of us were quite dressed. Monika and Damian, our young Polish friends, stood on the doorstep. On this icy morning, their daily commute in bumper-to-bumper traffic had resulted in a domino-effect auto accident. Their Dutch boss had given them the rest of the day off to sort things out. They came by for prayer, moral support, and help in navigating Dutch accident reports and insurance systems. Keith ended up phoning the insurance company for them and going along to several garages. These are simple, practical things which we know -- from personal experience as strangers in a strange land-all internationals need and appreciate. It is through these connections and simple actions that we are able to cultivate beloved community in the Netherlands."

So, if you are interested in joining them this week just bring your favorite finger food and join them for an evening of food, fun and fellowship.
THANK YOU: Williams Church Family, Thank you for all you did during the loss of our son, Ben. There was a plan beyond our control that we do not understand, but the love and overwhelming kindness from so many has strengthened us and reaffirmed our faith. Your prayers, meals, and visits meant more than you can know. Please continue to pray for us as we face the challenges of the days ahead. With heartfelt love, Richard, Mona and Sam Prickett FIDDLER’S GREEN EVENT: Our 11th Annual "Skirmish in the Valley" Civil War Battle Re-enactment is this May 5th and 6th. Admission is $3.00 per person! A full schedule and pictures is available on our web site at www.fiddlersgreenalabama.com
