A special Prayer Request by Ms. Doris Dubberly.
Shown are her grandson, Clint Martin and his wife Maiya.
They have both been deployed in Iraq for the past year.
Clint is back in the states in Georgia now and she is thankful for that.
His wife, Maiya is still in Iraq and is scheduled to come to the U.S. this next week.
Please pray that she makes it home safely. Both have had close calls with death
in the war and GOD has protected them. Lets all pray this week for her safe return to her husband and back to her home in the United States.
Clint is from Longview and Maiya is from Alaska. They met while serving in Korea.
We are proud of these two and pray for them and thank them for their service to our country. Please pray for all our military. Being so far from home is hard for them and their familes, especially during the holidays. Pray for PEACE.

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".
