If you are "STANDING IN THE NEED OF PRAYER" Please sign our guest book and let us know. We will add you to our PRAYER LIST.TO GOD BE THE GLORY! <hr><h3>SUNDAY SERVICE</table><br><hr><h3> Sunday School @ 9:30 AM; Devotions 10:45 AM; Morning Worship @ 11:00 AM .Visitors are always welcome .<hr><h3>CHURCH LIFE</table><br><hr><h3> Our services here at Durham Memorial have been uplifting to all in attendance from week to week. Our choirs have been a blessing from Sunday to Sunday and all those in charge of the Services have been in their places and ready to lead in the worship of our God. You are welcome to join us any Sunday at 11:00 AM. <hr><h3>May o4, 2008</table><br><hr><h3>Well, It's been some days, but we are back with you and thanking God for His many blessings. The new year is off and running, it's already MAY! The service was good today, many out to worship and the Lord's Supper was observed. The Senior Choir provided the music and the #2 Usher Board was at its' post. Pastor asked Are you trying to wash the blood away? He spoke from Matthew 27:24 how Pilot, when he could not free Jesus, washed his hands, declaring he was innocent of the blood of an innocent man. Many times, when we allow ourselves to be guided by "crowd or mob" mentality we are ready to wash our hands or deny the Blood. We must be careful, that we live that others will see the results of the shed blood in our lives. A good message to think about when we are surrounded by the crowds of life. Following the service, the Steward Board had Christian Caps to sell, to assist us in our witness. Have a great week and BE BLESSED! <hr><h3>PASTOR RICHARD G.STEWART</table><br><hr> Our Pastor continues to allow the love of God to shine out of his life and into the lives of others. Daily he provides services to the homeless and needy. Thank you for what you will do to assist in this ministry. BE BLESSED! <hr><h3>WED.

We just observed our 17th Anniversary on Nov. 19, 2007. A special Anniversary Dinner was held at 6 PM. some 250 diners, volunteers and well wishers enjoyed the dinner. Special gifts were given to the volunteers. Our Thanksgiving Dinner was held on Nov. 22nd (Thanksgiving Day) and we also had a full house. We thank God for the many volunteers coming out to serve the hungry. Our Christmas Dinner was served on Christms Day(December 25th)145 people showed up to eat and 40 volunteers came to serve the meal. A gift bag was given to each diner. These are the times when God enables us to go beyond the call of duty and give people a gift of love wrapped in hope and tied off with a smile. During these special times we can gladly accept donations of food and gifts.</hr><h3></hr><h3 /table><br><hr ><h3> <br><hr><h3>OUTREACH CENTER PROJECT</h3> A Special Reception was held on Mar. 13th at 5:30PM at which time The LINKS presented financial contributions to a number of local organizations.
