Churches of the Georgia Baptist Association and other interested friends, don't forget the reception to be held Saturday, June 23, at the Georgia Baptist Mission Center in Washington for Rev. and Mrs. James Bland, 3-5 p.m. Rev. Bland has served as Associational Missionary for nine years since 1998. He has accepted a call to another Association closer to their family. They have both touched many lives and we wish them well. . Phillips Mill Baptist Church Vacation Bible School got off to a good start Monday morning with lots of athletes and coaches showing up with excitement. Thanks to Charlotte Waller and the Good Lord for their teamwork as head coaches and to all volunteers. May God bless each of you, and each family touched. Please feel welcome to attend services at Phillips Mill anytime. Who knows what your input and interest could make. .We have some Phillips Mill folks having birthdays this month.

His mother, Mary Jane Scarborough, carried him and his grandparents, Morrison and Priscilla Maxwell, out to eat in Thomson at Long John Silvers where they celebrated Tyler's birthday and Father's Day. We got to see several family friends from Washington which brought on a happy smile and conversation. .Sincere sympathy is extended to the family of William Theodore "Billy" Neal, age 76, of Crawfordville who passed away Tuesday, May 29.

Among his brothers were the late Lewis Sherrer and the late Ellis Sherrer of Union Point, to name a few some of you might remember.
