ages (including our seniors) enjoying learning God’s word

through Bible study, making crafts, playing, eating, and singing,

clapping & jumping to praise music. Special thanks to each person

that worked so hard to make this a wonderful event.

designate teachers and officers for the new year. The committee

has asked for you to let your preferences be known by July 23rd.

Are you ready to take on a new challenge by teaching a class? Would

you like to work with the youth? Would you like to help with

technology and the slide show presentations? Do you enjoy arts

A word about Relay for Life......On Thursday night, the Survivor's Banquet was held at First PH Church in Goldsboro. Attending from Selah were Tom and Jean Frey, Donna and Charlie Thomas, and Virginia Bunn with her husband. They were all very inspired by speaker Tanya Matthews, breast cancer survivor .  She has many ties to the Grantham
community.   On Friday night, betwixt and between all the  WONDERFUL COOLING SHOWERS, we celebrated at the Relay for Life under our tent with approximately 60 Grantham Middle-School students and their parents, and many Selah Church members who came out to brave the weather.  The luminaries were lit, even if the bags themselves were soaked, and the tracks were lined with lights for many cancer patients.  The Grantham School team has raised nearly $16,000 and is still turning in money.  If you had meant to make a donation but haven't, please do so before Thursday as that is final bank night for this year's Relay.  Thanks to everyone who donated, walked, sponsored or helped in any way.  The wonderful spirit of God was present all around on all the faces.  Please join us next year

“At work, inside burning buildings, Capt. Caleb Holt lives by the old firefighter's adage: Never leave your partner behind. At home, in the cooling embers of his marriage, he lives by his own rules. After seven years of marriage, Caleb and Catherine Holt have drifted so far apart that Catherine wishes she had never married. Neither one understands the pressures the other faces--he as firefighter and she as the public relations director of a hospital. Regular arguments over jobs, finances, housework, and outside interests have readied them both to move on to something with more sparks. As the couple prepares to enter divorce proceedings, Caleb's father challenges his son to commit to a 40-day experiment he calls 'The Love Dare.' Wondering if it's even worth the effort, Caleb agrees, but more for his father's sake more than for his marriage. When Caleb discovers the book's daily challenges are tied into his parents' newfound faith, his already limited interest is further dampened. While trying to stay true to his promise, Caleb becomes frustrated time and again. He finally asks his father, 'How am I supposed to show love to somebody who constantly rejects me?' When his father explains that this is the love God shows to us, Caleb makes a life-changing commitment to love God. And--with God's help--he begins to understand what it means to truly love his wife. But is it too late to fireproof his marriage? His job is to rescue others. Now Caleb Holt is ready to face his toughest job ever--rescuing his wife's heart”.

Sunday, February 22, 2009, will be FFA Sunday at Selah Church. There will be several high school students who are members of the Future Farmers of America worshiping at our church to show their support of Christian values during this special Sunday service. ,

My family and I would like to thank all of you for your prayers, during my surgery and my rest at home. We would also like to thank Linda Petras, Shirley Carter, and Hansford Ricks for the food they have prepared and brought to our home. Thank you Patrick for your visit at the hospital and thank you Billy and Shirley Carter for your visit also. Thank you all for the cards you have sent me, they all meant so much. Prayer is a deep healing and I am getting better every day. My love to all of you.

God Bless and Hope to see you all soon.

The Christians in Action Class will have their class party today. They plan to have lunch at Logans Restaurant and to go ice-skating.

 

The Children of Glory Class shopped for our adopted families Dec. 23rd and the True Spirit of Christmas prevailed.  It was really amazing
to see Christ working through these precious children as they
picked out items for other children. They had so much joy in their
hearts and were full of good wishes for those they were buying for.
After the shopping, the class went to Pizza Inn where they enjoyed
themselves with the buffet and games.


Jan. 10th, this class will be visiting the Ronald McDonald House in
Greenville and taking the pop tops off drink cans they have been
collecting for the past year.  The whole church has been very supportive
of the class and appreciates all the pop tops that have been donated.

Our church gave $1,416.00 for our adopted families.  This money was
used to purchase clothes, toys, groceries and gift cards for 3 families.
Ginger Holland and Sue Hill co-chaired this mission project and delivered the items prior to Christmas.  All of the families were very appreciative. They were all invited to come to our church, so lets hope and pray that we see them in the near future. Thanks to all of you who were so generous and gave for this project.  A special thanks to CMF for their $500.00 to help the families.

The Christmas season is always fun at Selah!  We have enjoyed working together to tell the story of Christ birth with our Live Nativity, sharing our love with the Suitcases for Wayne County Kids project and fruit baskets for shut-ins, class parties, Christmas crafts with the children, and beautifying our sanctuary and fellowship hall for the Christmas season (including a poinsettia tree made by donations of flowers in memory of and honor of our special loved ones).  We will conclude our festivities during this last week before Christmas with caroling and our Christmas program this evening.   May each of you have a wonderful and blessed Christmas filled with love as we celebrate the gift of God’s love-His son and saving grace.  Jesus wants to have Christmas with you!  Don’t forget to pick up your Christmas cards this morning.

Merry Christmas!!!

The Christians in Action Sunday School Class has selected Suitcases for Wayne County Kids as their service project.  They are collecting items to be given to foster children uprooted from their home with little or nothing to take with them. Originally brought to Rosewood High School Future Business Leaders of America by Caroline Keen, Cathy Best (advisor) explained that this project is done to help foster children uprooted from their homes with very little to take with them.  If you are interested in helping with this project, please drop off your items in the Christians In Action Sunday School Classroom by December 14th.  Items needed include:

Backpack or small overnight Duffel Bag (new or gently used)

Toothbrushes/Toothpaste

Deodorant/Soap/Shampoo

Small Journals (no wire bound)/Pencils

Small New Stuffed Animals

Small Fleece Blankets

Personal Tissue Packs

Socks

Crossword or Maze Puzzle Books

For Infant/Toddler Bags-Shampoo, Diapers, Bibs, Blankets, Socks and sleepers size 6 months to 2 Toddler are needed.

 

CWF met last Monday evening. The ladies discussed and decided to help the Christians in Action Class with the Suitcases for Wayne County Kids project, rather than doing the Samaritan Purse Christmas Child Shoeboxes. (Betty Rose has labels for anyone preferring to donate to the Samaritan Purse Christmas Child Shoeboxes project). They agreed to purchase material to make another quilt.  Delores Hood and Linda Petras will serve as chairpersons for quilting this year.  Jean Hollowell presented the program on their ongoing study of “The Purpose Driven Life”.

The Girls of Light class had a very nice weekend trip to the Inner Harbor in Baltimore. We enjoyed a visit with Ms. Pat Thigpen and took her a prayer quilt as a token of love from our church family. Much of our time was spent eating and shopping. We also enjoyed a dolphin show and exploring the National Aquarium. The Orioles ballgame was fun .We had first rate seats! The Inner Harbor was beautiful. We took a short detour into Washington DC and visited the World War 11 Memorial and rode by the famous landmarks before going on to Potomac Mills Mall for one last shopping spree. We cried and prayed together when we learned of the tragic deaths back home. These trips provide such a wonderful time of bonding and forming life long friendships. It is in times shared such as these trips that our real church family bond blossoms. Thanks to all of you for your prayers and for your continued financial support during our youth fundraisers!
