This is a story about the power of family, friendship, the ways we depend upon one another and the ways we let one another down. Join us on Thursday, March 23rd for good discussion and great fellowship. Questions?

Many thanks to all the bakers, buyers and workers who helped make the Women's Ministry bake sale a success. We raised over $800 that will be donated to local charities. In addition, all remaining baked goods were mailed to Scott Rice who is currently serving in the Air Force Reserves in the Middle East. He has told us that homemade goodies are a special treat that he will share with his fellow soldiers. Thanks again to all who helped with the bake sale.

He Chose the Nails Study Guide: What God Did to Win Your Heart
- by Max Lucado (Author)
Every gift from God reveals his love, but no gift reveals his love more than the gifts of the cross. These gifts came not wrapped in paper but in passion. They were not placed around a tree but around a cross. They were not covered with ribbons but sprinkled with the blood that Christ shed on our behalf. In this five-session video Bible study, Max Lucado explores the many gifts that Christ provided to us at his crucifixion.
Breakfast starts at 7:00 a.m. next to the kitchen. Please contact us
to be sure we have enough bacon for all.
