Monday 3/9 - Church Cleaning - Due to circumstances, church cleaning and the fellowship hall cleaning will be held the same evening this year - Monday, March 9 beginning at 6:30 pm.

Because we are planning both on the same night, we encourage and appreciate as much participation as possible.

Lunch will be served at the church at the completion of the evening. A signup sheet for lunch items is posted on the bulletin board by the dining room.

Redeeming the Time Together - Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. James 1:17
Redeeming the Time Together is a new ministry opportunity for our church that is being developed with the intent to build relationships and friendships across generations and to share in the commonality of hearts that love and desire to serve the Lord. The hope is to be an encouragement and support to one another and to glorify God while doing so.
The ministry will provide a frame work for opportunities to share the gifts the Lord has given to each of us to be a blessing to one another through the concept of "adoption". Lord willing, through this adoption, God-honoring friendships and relationships will be developed and strengthened. Specifically, opportunities for adoption will include: Visiting, Sending Cards, Prayer and Phone Calls.
Handouts have been placed in the back hall and an email with more details will be sent. Next Sunday a sign-up sheet will be posted, and will remain posted for a few Sundays, for you to indicate your desire to participate at some level of involvement. This will allow you some time to learn more about the ministry and to prayerfully consider if God would have you use your talents in this way.
Our target start date is April 2015
To our church family, we thank you for your prayerful support that God will be glorified in this endeavor
