Ever hear the old phrase "Chicken one day, feathers the next?" This guy looks pretty sad.
Sometimes we all feel like this chicken looks, had a bad day, unfair breaks or maybe someone hurt our feelings. Well, cheer up, better days are ahead for us all.
Maybe it's time to make some changes in your life and strive for a better year in 2010. Look to the future and not to the past, great things are in store for those who love the LORD and follow him. Don't hesitate to ask GOD for things that you desire. He came that we might have joy and have it more abundantly.
"And whosoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye ask any thing in my name, I will do it. If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever."
John 14:13-16

History of our Church
The first religious gathering place of the original pioneer families of the community is said to have been at the site of a sunken boulder, next to which the first crude log meeting house was constructed. Because of this boulder, the first structure was know as the "Old Rock Church".
About 1871, a larger one-room frame building replaced the log structure and the name was changed to Mims Chapel, after two brothers who were instrumental in procuring the six-acre tract of land. This white painted, one-room church remained in use until 1936, when a bad list to the structure necessitated its being torn down. The new church was built from the same material, except for necessary additions.
In January 1969, the old wooden building was torn down and replaced by a modern brick structure.
Mims Chapel maintains its strong historical background , while striving ever-forward to help spread God's glory and kingdom. Praise God in the highest! May Mims Chapel forever be the "Old Rock Church".
