With Love, Ashley and Makayla

Summer Memorial Congregation,

On behalf of the City of Newberry Fire Department, we would like to personally thank you for your generosi-ty and patience in allowing our crews to perform training at the houses you provided on Player and Berry Street. Because of your generosity, our crews were able to train on life saving techniques in a far more real-istic environment.

Thank you for allowing the extra time and effort to give us this opportunity.

Sincerely,

Keith Minick and Andrew Morris

Golden Age Sunday

Summer-Tymers – October “Make a Joyful Noiz”

Summer-Tymers’ final gathering for 2019 was a

very happy one. Special music consisting of

gospel and familiar secular songs were performed

by special musicians comprised of Pastor Randy

Derrick, David Parker, David Vieiva, and our own

Lloyd Brigman. Summer Tymers joined in singing

many familiar gospel songs and tapping toes to

others.

As always, a delicious luncheon preceded the

entertainment. Thanks to Carolyn Brigman,

Bobbie Smith, Peggy Morris and tea-maker

Vernon for donating and preparing the lunch.

Our next Summer-Tymers Gathering will be on

Tuesday, January 28, 2020. We take November

and December off because of the holiday season.

See you in 2020 for an hour of great Christian

fellowship!
