First ARP Church Family,

I was made aware that there may be emails going out to you with my name attached to them that are requesting some sort of help. Please disregard this; it is a scam to get you to give your hard-earned money to feed the bottom-feeding hucksters of society. I will never email you to ask for help with something like that. Please feel free to call either my cell phone or the church office if you have any questions. Thank you and may the Lord be with you all!

In Christ,

Pastor Jonathan

First ARP Church Family,

We hope that you are all doing well! We know that this weekend has been on everyone’s minds, especially with the hurricane headed that way. The Session has been monitoring the weather all day and looking at the forecast for tomorrow and the road conditions. While it seems that the weather should clear up tomorrow afternoon, there is already flooding in Hendersonville and there will be at least a day’s more worth of rain to deal with and the winds will be picking up as well. This all has the potential for things to get worse in the mountains. It is the Session’s regret that we feel it is necessary to cancel the trip this year. We don’ t want to cancel the trip, but we also want everyone to be the safest we can be. We know that this will be a disappointment to everyone as it is to us as well. But we look forward to our trip next year.

We will have our regular Sunday morning worship this Sunday with no Sunday School afterward. Thank you for your understanding and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact Pastor Jonathan.

The Lord be with you all and we’ll see you this Sunday!

In Christ,

The Session
