Do you have any used or new Bibles that you’d like to donate to a worthy cause? The organization “Mission Cry” has asked us to help with their “Bible Drive” that started this month and runs through March. Mission Cry has been sending Bibles all over the world since 1956, sowing God’s Word into the lives of those who cannot afford it. A donation box has been set up next to the office mailboxes.

Join us on Wednesday evenings for a time of fellowship, fun, and spiritual growth.  The Fellowship Meal begins at 5:45 and classes for all ages start at 7:00. 

Adults - 

• Q & A with Dr. Kent Lehman in the chapel
• “Prepare to Stand” led by Pastor Jeff Linthicum in Room 14

Youth - Meet in the Youth Room

Elementary Kids -  We are continuing "Bible Drills, Skills, and Thrills." in the Family Life Center.  Over the course of the year, kids will memorize 25 scriptures, 10 key passages, and all of the books of the Bible! We will focus on navigating through and getting the big picture of how it is organized. Kids will earn “Bible Bucks" for their accomplishments and spend them on prizes throughout the year. 

Ages 4-K - Meet in the room at the bottom of the ramp

Ages 0-3 - Meet in the Toddler Nursery

Attention, families with toddlers!  Bring your little one(s) (toddlers-4 yrs.) to the Family Life Center from 10:00-11:00 a.m. (enter the east doors) on the second Thursday of the month. This activity is mostly an unstructured playtime and the FLC is the perfect large space to “jump around!" Everyone is welcome!

Contribute to the needs of our community by participating in Project Share. You can place your donations on the table in the patio or in the box inside the east entrance of the church.
