Stoney Creek Church

Memorial Day is an American holiday, observed on the last Monday of May, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Originally

known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades. Take time on Memorial Day and reflect on the men and women who died for the freedom we so value today. Also, please remember the families of these fallen sol-diers in your prayers.

The flowers that grace our altar today are given in loving memory of Andrew Sass and all other service members that

have paid the ultimate sacrifice.

The church office will be closed Monday in

observation of

Memorial Day.

WELCOME REVEREND NEAL COX! We are delighted to have the Reverend Neal Cox

with us today to preach in both morning services.

Dr. Cox is an ordained OFWB minister who has

pastored in our denomination for numerous

years. He is currently Chair of the Department of

Religion at the University of Mount Olive where he

earned his B.A. in Religion. He also earned his M.

Div. from Duke Divinity School and his D. Min. from Campbell Uni-

versity Divinity School. He is married to Andrea Cox and has two

children, Kaleb and Emma Cox. Dr. Cox taught at Stoney Creek

back in March during the Journeying Together Certificate Pro-

gram. His interest in academia are Ecclesiology, specifically koi-

nonia as essential to the nature of Church. Neal is also very interest-

ed in creation care and therefore is an avid gardener/farmer in his

spare time. Let's make Dr. Cox feel "at home" this Sunday morning

as he shares with us the message God has laid upon his heart.
