Come join them for this special opportunity!

LIBRARY UPDATE- Overdue/Missing Books

With pleasure, your church library is back to the regular ministry of providing Christian books, dvd's, and other resources that can be enjoyed; however, we've noticed that an increasing number of books are overdue or missing. With the busy-ness of the past few weeks, we realize that it's easy to lose track of books that have been borrowed from the church library. If you or your child(ren) have borrowed books, please look around your house, in your car, etc, to see if you have books that need to be returned. If necessary, please contact Jane Holland or Brenda Meadows in the church library. Thank you for your help!

MEAL & MISSIONS ANNOUNCEMENT- Schedule Change!

Our regular schedule of Meal and Missions, on the first Wednesday of each month, will now be without the meal part.

After several months of monitoring the attendance, costs, and other aspects, the kitchen team and the staff have decided to postpone the meal portion of this night indefinitely. We'll continue to have our normal Missions focus on this night, and the times for those will remain the same. Children’s choir will begin at their normal time, RA’s, GA’s, Mission Friends, Baptist Men, and Women on Mission will all meet at 7:00 pm unless otherwise noted. We know that the meal fellowship time has been enjoyable for those who have attended but we feel that it is more feasible for us to postpone this for now and evaluate if and when we might re-launch the meal portion. If you have any questions regarding this change, please contact Pastor Mike.

Living in Anticipation

1 Thessalonians

In First Thessalonians, Paul encourages the church to live with an eye towards the skies; to so live in anticipation of the return of our Lord Jesus Christ that it affects every area of daily living; our friendships, our love, our work, good times, and tough times, even the way we see death itself. Join us on Wednesday nights, at 7 pm for an in-depth study of 1 Thessalonians.
