SUNDAY NIGHT SCHEDULE
At the last business meeting, the Church decided to meet only one hour on Sunday nights at 6:00 p.m. At 6:00 p.m. we will have our worship time as well as DiscipleLife classes. The new time will begin on January 6, 2013.

READ THE BIBLE THROUGH IN 2013
Bible reading schedules are available at all entrances to the Church. Please make the commitment to read God's Word in 2013. It will make us a stronger Church and obedient Christians. Joshua 1:8, "This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success."

TAKING DOWN THE GREENS
Tonight at 6:00 p.m., our service will be the “Taking Down of the Greens.” There will be songs, devotion and a time of fellowship after the decorations are put up. Please bring finger foods and drinks for our fellowship time. Thanks!
