Volunteer Opportunities
You can become one of the many people that help make our worship services possible! You can become a member of our Audio-Visual team and learn new skills. There are no technical skills necessary, but an ear for music or a creative bent will be helpful. We will train you on all you need to know to help present our services to both in-person and online congregations. You can learn at your own pace, and schedules are completely flexible. For more information, please contact Tim Lyons at tlyons00@gmail.com or 336-259-6920.
Finch Series
The Finch Outreach Ministry Committee is pleased to announce the Finch Series of events for 2025. Designed to appeal to a variety of audiences, the series will consist of three events. September 13 will feature Nikita Koloff, a former professional wrestler who now runs Koloff for Christ Ministries. He has preached in over 1200 churches across the United States and internationally. He will share his testimony and is sure to be an inspiration.
On October 18, we will host the Second Chance Bluegrass Band, a bluegrass group committed to sharing the Gospel message. They delight audiences with their intricate harmonies while pleasing bluegrass critics with their high-energy acoustical music polish.
Finally, on November 22, we will present “Silent Night: A Song From the Heart”, an original play by Doug Brown, Chair of the Theatre Department at High Point University. This will be a dinner theatre event in Jarrett Hall. We will need Memorial members for this! Auditions will be held in early September for actors and crew.
Watch further information on all these events in the next several weeks.

LOST NECKLACE
I was at a service Thursday afternoon, July 10 at Memorial. Before leaving the house, I put on a necklace that’s very special to me; it was given to me by my mother, Jane Williams, probably 20 years ago. I typically wore it every day. I could see from my ring camera that it was no longer on by the time I got home after the service. I’m thinking it fell off either in the parking lot, the sanctuary, or the Christian Enrichment Center. I am hoping maybe someone found it and has just not turned it in. It is a gold round pendant with diamond chips. Please contact me directly or the church office if you have any information.
Thank you,
Emily Abernathy
