The UBA Summer Session, to be held Tuesday, July 25, 2017, hosted by Ebenezer Baptist Church, will begin at 6:00 pm with a Covered Dish Meal, followed by the business session at 7:00 pm. Ebenezer is located at 1417 Unionville-Indian Trail Road West, Indian Trail NC 28079. The Interim Pastor is Rev. Roy Helms. Everyone is asked to bring a dish to share…if possible, one (1) meat dish from every church, along with sides of vegetables and desserts. It would be helpful to have the food at the church at 5:30 pm so that serving can begin as soon as possible. Please join us for fellowship and worship on Tuesday, July 25, at Ebenezer Baptist Church. We do not have a sermon on the program, but we will worship God together through prayer and music in praise to Him. We will be voting on the 2018 budget proposal, and we encourage all Messengers to attend. Please share with others who would like to attend. We make everyone welcome! You are asked to please invite and encourage the young families to attend.

GETTING TO KNOW YOU In an effort to get to know the members of the body of Christ, each month we will feature one or more of the youth. This month two youth are highlighted.

You will always see Helen Langlois with a smile. Twelve years ago she was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. She is homeschooled and in the 7th grade. She has a younger sis-ter, Sarah. Helen has many interests including Pokemon, Legos, Yo Kai watch, foot-ball, basketball, Nintendo, DS, TV, video games and Star Wars. Helen says a typical time with friends is to play video games, board games, watch TV and just goof around. She has travelled to Georgia, Florida, and Kentucky on family vacations. When asked about her favorite song she said she likes lots of songs and lots of Bible verses. Her words of wisdom to those younger are ‘Don’t do stupid stuff’. When asked what she senses God may want her to do with her life, she replied “Maybe go to China and tell people about Him”. Helen is an important part of the body of Christ here at Hermon. Remember to pray for Helen that she will continue to sense God’s leading and always have an obedient heart. Many times you will see Dan Tarr working at the back of the church with the sound system. He was born 15 years ago in New Hampshire. Dan is a rising Sophomore at Parkwood High School. His pet dog is named Ninja. His interests are ROTC and air soft guns. He enjoys building obstacle courses. Dan has traveled to Maine and the Bahamas. The first thing he notices about people are their handshake or greeting. His words of wisdom to those younger are “Learn from other’s mistakes”. When asked what he senses God may be leading him to do his answer is “the military”. Dan is an important part of the body of Christ here at Hermon. Remember to pray for Dan to always seek God’s direction for his life.
