Aug 9, 2026 Prayer Requests and Announcements

Another fantastic week! 🙌

Our youth did a great job, and Patti brought everything home with a powerful drama and message. What a blessing to see our young people growing in their faith!

We also had a great pool party and a wonderful time of fellowship!

💦 BAPTISM UPDATE:
Due to weather, Baptism has been postponed until this coming Sunday, August 16th, at 5:00 PM at Greenhill.

We now have nine people that we are hopeful to baptize! What an incredible testimony of God’s work

If you are considering baptism, please reach out to Mac Miller. We would love to talk with you and help you take this important step in your walk with Christ.

Church building and property updates:

  1. Property Easement: Mike Williams, owner of the property behind the church, has graciously donated 0.018 acres to Shady Grove Church to provide the necessary building easement for our future education building. The deed is currently being recorded at the courthouse. We are very grateful for Mike’s generosity.
  2. Survey & Engineering: Both the property survey and the engineering work for the church property and proposed new education building have been generously donated by Rodney Peirson, an engineer from Daleville. We sincerely appreciate Rodney’s willingness to bless our church in this way.
  3. Building Plans: Daniel Banker is completing and submitting the building plans for the required permits. Once the plans are approved, we will obtain construction bids and present them to both the Church Board and the congregation for review and consideration before moving forward.
  4. Security Lighting: Additional motion-activated security lights will be installed around the exterior of the church to provide better lighting and improve safety during evening activities.
  5. Thank you to everyone who continues to support and pray for these improvements. It is exciting to see how God is providing through the generosity and service of so many people.
  6. We are now taking bids for the proposed new educational building.
