READ
THE BIBLE IN 2014
Have you ever wanted to read through the
Bible? Why read through the Bible? To know God better, to claim His promises,
to grow in your faith, there are hundreds of reasons to read the Bible each
year. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 says, “All Scripture is given by
inspiration of God, and is
profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly
equipped for every good work.” A plan will be provided to read through the
Bible each month in 2014.
THANK YOU
The Church Staff wishes to thank you for all of your
expressions of love that you have
shared with us during this Christmas season. We pray that you will have a
“Merry Christmas” this year.
VOLUNTEERS PLEASE
We need your help to take down the
Christmas decorations on Monday, December 30th at 7:00pm. If you can
