Praise Reports and Prayer Requests were given:
Bud Barrett is in the hospital with a collapsed lung. Please keep him and Ms. Olga in your prayers as she battles cancer.
We have people who are away today and traveling, pray for their safe return.
Please remember Joan and Bobby Ramsey and Evan in the tragic car accident which happened this week. You are all in our hearts and prayers and we are your church family, ready and waiting for your call for anything we might do.
Harvey Sisk has been in the hospital with severe pnuemonia and is now home but is still not completely well. Thankfully, our oldest daughter, Jennifer is a nursing student and lives next door and she is taking really good care of him at home.
I'm sure there are many others that are in need of our prayers and support and we lift them up as well.
"By HIS stripes we ARE healed".

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".
