New Bible Study
Starting Wednesday, February 3rd, 6:00pm

Read the Bible in ninety days. It’s easier than you thought! Once you break it down into bite-sized pieces, what may have seemed to be a formidable challenge becomes doable and enjoyable. Pastor Joel will lead this study helping you to fulfill what for many Christians is a longstanding ambition: reading through the entire Bible. Click here to purchase your participants guide.
Bob Bull Coat Drive

Our congregation is succeeding in meeting a challenge once again! To date you have donated 160 items for the Bob Bull “Share the Warmth” Coat Drive. Homeless people in our area will gratefully stay warm this winter with the coats you have donated. A million thanks for your thoughtfulness!
 
If you haven’t yet had a chance to participate, you have two more weeks to bring your no-longer-needed coats to the church. We’ll take our last load of coats to the homeless shelters in mid-January.
