Upcoming Events

Hello! I trust everyone is having a good weekend so far. We had a beautiful day today, don't you think?! God is so good to us all the time!

As mentioned a few days ago, the youth and children have quite a few activities going on, so I though I would take a minute to mention some of them here. I encourage any children or youth in our community to come and join the groups that we have available for our young people. We have a new children's and youth leader and she is very excited about the opportunity she has to witness and grow with the young people. You won't be disappointed!

Children: The gym is open during choir practice on Sunday nights (7-8pm) as well as on Wednesday evenings before and after the Wednesday night service. Don't forget supper starts at 6pm! The children will also be delivering Valentine's to our shut-ins on Saturday, February 11th from 1-5pm (a good way to not only spread our love but God's love as well!). "Parents Date Night" is on Saturday, Feb. 18th from 6-10pm.

Youth: Superbowl party after church services on Feb. 5th (this is bound to be an exciting game!). Progressive Valentine's dinner Saturday, Feb. 11th from 6pm-until. "Parents Date Night" Saturday, Feb. 18th from 6-10pm. Winter Jam concert on Friday, Feb. 24th at 7pm (will provide more details on this when I have them available).

So, children and youth, come on out and bring a friend!

Don't forget about the upcoming Gardening sessions beginning on Feb. 6th at 2pm. The sessions will be on the 1st & 3rd Monday of each month. All sessions are FREE and are open to the public. We are never too old to learn something new!

Before I forget.....our wonderful church secretary and faithful pastor recently brought some updated numbers to my attention regarding the trip to West Virginia. They are as follows: Nine Pastors received a food box and a love gift of $90 each. 611 shoe boxes, 127 food boxes, 57 senior adult cold kits, 104 comforter sets, 110 blankets, 12 afgans, 72 baby blankets, 15 bags of winter clothes and 134 towel sets were donated. This is a wonderful ministry and I am sure that all donations were very needed and appreciated. We have so much to be thankful for and it's important to share with others when we can. We never know when we might be the one(s)in need. Tis a good way to share the love of Christ with others.


That's about all I have for now. As always, keep on keeping on and may God continue to bless each of you! :-)

P.S. Our Sunday School class (The Truth Seekers) started a new study on "Revelations". I have missed a few of the sessions (due to not feeling well), but the one(s) I have attended have been very good. Our adult Discipleship Training class is studying the book of "Daniel", a study that was left to us by the former teacher of the class. It has been very educational as well (the one(s) I have been able to attend). I encourage you to come out and join us. We would love to have you there!
