Journeying....

Terrie and I hope you will join us for our 40th and final Christmas Gathering, Saturday, December 3. Drop in at your convenience between 11:00 am & 6 :00 pm. Our address is 448 SW 301 Road Clinton, Missouri.


Sunday, December 4, begins our Week of Prayer for International Missions. The daily prayer guide is available at https://www.imb.org/pray/week-of-prayer/. You may also download the IMB Pray app for Apple or Android for easy access to the Week of Prayer and prayer requests from around the world daily throughout the year.


We are in “50 Days of Prayer” preparing for the call of our new pastor on January 15, 2023. Pray for our Pastor Search Committee as they work through the final details with our candidate and his family. Pray for our candidate and family to finish well in their current setting and begin strong in Clinton. Pray for a shield of spiritual protection for our Committee, our candidate, and our church. The evil one would like nothing more than to interrupt this God at work among us process.


Hope to enjoy some of Terrie’s terrific treats with you on Saturday.


Journeying … ActsOne8 … Randy




Directory Team - We are getting ready to update our online church directory and could use a few more callers to help us contact everyone. If you like to chat with people on the phone and would like to help, please contact the church office.


Small groups have started, but it’s not too late to join! Our small groups are divided by age and gender and are centered around Bible study. Our goal is to have groups that students can grow in their understanding of God’s word as well as growing in relationship to one another. These are hosted in homes of our small group leaders at different times during the week.


Next Sunday (November 27) we will be decorating the youth room for Christmas! We will meet at Vansant 6-7:15 to decorate. Dinner will be provided. Come join us! 


January 6-8 we are taking a winter retreat! We will be headed out of town Friday afternoon around 4pm and spend the weekend out of town, learning together and having a few fun experiences along the way. More details and cost will be coming in December. 


If you have a student in youth, information about weekly events, signups and other important information are communicated through the Remind app. If you are not in our Remind group, download the app using the class code 6fg83e or contact Joey Conway.



Kingdom Kids and Cherub Choir will meet this week, November 30 at 5:30 pm! Cherub Choir is for 3 year olds - Kindergarten and is an hour of activities and singing praises to our Creator! Kingdom Kids is an hour of fun and learning how young students first through sixth grade can be all in for Jesus!


If you work with children in any capacity, we have something for you! Saturday, January 21, we will be spending the morning (10:00 am-12:00 pm) hearing from Joanna Haskins with Simplicity Education Services on how to properly care for and minister to students with special needs. This knowledge is something that all childcare volunteers need so if you work with kids in our church it is encouraged that you attend this session. 



HEALTHY MOMS & BABIES

Chris Mantonya prays daily for expectant moms, their pregnancy and for each father to be the Christian spiritual leader of his family. Once the baby arrives, she prays for the mom and new baby, by name for an entire year. She would like names and approximate due dates of anyone for whom she can pray. You can give her the information at church or to the church office staff.
