Ramseur UMC News - Rev. Richard C. Hill, Pastor

Greetings from the Ramseur
church. The Lord has been
helping us in our services. Bro.
Richard Hill has been preaching
some very good messages to
us. Thank the Lord for men of
God who are faithful to preach
the truth. Thank you Bro. Hill!
We have had several on trips
from the church the last few
weeks. Tony and Sandra

Melody and I were away for a
few days on a trip to the coast
for our anniversary. My, how
you miss one another when
they are not there!
The Midway Church came to
our church on the fifth Sunday
night in August. We really en-
joyed having them. We always
enjoy getting together with
Midway for these services. Bro.
Bailey brought a wonderful
message to us that night.
We also were able to join with
the Midway Church for a hot-
dog supper at the camp-
grounds. We enjoyed this time

to some families.
We are still look-
ing forward to
seeing some fruit
from our efforts.
In our last youth
service, our youth Ramseur United Missionary Church
leader, Sis. Melody, spoke on
“What Is Your Character” and
our young people read some
interesting things to us. We
really enjoy our youth services.
Please help us pray that we will
get some more young people in
our church.
We would like to say how
much we enjoyed having our
visitors this last month. Jason
Parker, Deserae Warner, and
Heather Glasgow. We hope
they will all come again!
“Happy Anniversary!” to Tony
