Disaster Preparedness and Tax Holday —  It’s smart to get ready for hurricane and flash flooding season, arriving June 1, and it’s smart to save money. You can do both by shopping for such products as batteries, food storage containers, generators, first aid kits, bottled water, radios and more between May 25 and 31. When you do, you won’t pay sales tax on many useful products that cost up to $60 or on generators costing $1,000 or less. That’s a savings of 5 percent. A complete list of exempt items is available at www.tax.virginia.gov/salestaxholiday. Purchasing supplies is important, but it’s critical to make a family emergency plan. Protect your family now by making a plan. It’s free, it’s simple, and it will make a big difference. Start at the Ready Virginia home page, http://www.vaemergency.gov/readyvirginia, where you can learn about three simple, low-cost steps to prepare your family or business for hurricanes, flooding and many other hazards. -- thanks to Linda Walker for submitting this information.

Here's a thought:

Each time you face a choice today, pause for a few seconds to consider how your decision can serve God's purposes.

Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as you ever can.  -- Attributed to Methodist Founder John Wesley

As the people of God, we are called to develop our faith through the understanding of God’s love and to be a church dedicated to prayer.  

We believe that Christ is calling us to serve by being present and welcoming to all, regardless of ethnic, cultural or economic background.

God calls us to give our time, talent and monetary resources to effectively proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
