We need "fresh" volunteers to participate. Please join us in prayer that God will send us the needed volunteers. If you feel led to be a part of this program, please know there are a variety of ways to serve and you are not required to be present every night. For our upcoming session, volunteers are needed for the following positions:

A Message from Our Pastors
As the flu has reached epidemic proportions in our community and throughout the nation, please be respectful of the health of those around you. If you have the flu or flu-like symptoms (fever, cough, sore throat, runny/stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills, fatigue, diarrhea/vomiting), please stay home from worship services, church-related events, and other public places. You should be free from fever (without fever reducers) and flu-like symptoms for at least 24 hours before going back out in public.

"Don't Shoot Him He's Too Sick," the book written by Leah Penry Price (sister of the Rev. Clyde Penry) is available to purchase in the church office ($12.50). Stop by during business hours to purchase.

Our youth collected $1,380 in financial contributions last Sunday for the Souper Bowl of Caring. Your generous donations will help support South Strand Helping Hand, assisting needy families here in our community!
