One of our Small Groups is a class on parenting. It meets each Tuesday evening at 7, and lasts one hour. If you are not currently in this class, would you consider it a ministry to help care for the children of those in this class, in the Wee Care room? You could serve one week or several, from 6:40pm-8:20pm. Please let Phyllis Nordstrom know of your desire to minister to these families. There are 4 more weeks. May God bless you!
Saturday mornings bring a great way to start the weekend out right! Come to the Upper Room, from 7:30am-8:30am, where a Small Group focused on prayer has begun. Connect to the Source of Life, while connecting with each other!
October is Pastor Appreciation Month. Though Pastor John is appreciated every month, October is a reminder to express the gratitude in our hearts and honor the obedience to the call God placed on his life. Thank you, Pastor John, for all you do, and for your obedience to the call God has placed on your life! We pray the Lord would enlarge your territory, that His hand would always be with you and that He would keep you from harm.
