Community Safety: We remain focused on the health and safety of our members, visitors and our communities. We encourage you to check with your local healthcare agencies and your doctor if you are not feeling well and/or test positive for COVID, have flu-like symptoms or have been around someone who tests positive for COVID.
You should always practice good handwashing at all the time. The COVID viruses will always be with us and continues to mutate, so we have to treat it the same as we do annual 'flu virus'. Please continue to check your temperature and if you are not feeling well stay home and contact your healthcare provider for instruction on what to do to feel better and protect others.
Be safe and do not forget to check on your neighbors. Please contact Roy Stephenson if you have any suggestions or questions regarding worship service, bible study classes and/or devotional.

We continue to outreach to local organizations intheir efforts to help our community through difficult times. We are currently supporting the staff of REACH of Cherokee and Graham counties in their efforts to provide a safe haven and counseling for victims of domestic violence and provide assistance to families who are struggling to provide for their children; we do what we can to help the Cherokee county foodbanklocated in Andrews, NC, the Hurlburt-Johnson Homeless Shelter, and Meals on Wheels. Every year in December we look forward to helping Toys for Tot put a smile on a child's face. We help sponsor a "Night in Bethlehem" with local churches and other organizations to celebrate the birth of Jesus by setting up an area to resemble a marketplace and dress in clothing to resemble what was worn at the time of Jesus's birth. We have refreshments, crafts for the children, children bibles to give out and handouts to invite visitors to church and/or begin bible home study. One of the church's has a nativity play and leads us in prayer.
