News For You!

Hello everyone, 

I hope that you had a Merry Christmas with family and friends.  Thank you to everyone who was involved in putting together our services last weekend, your efforts are and were greatly appreciated. 

Well, I am finally off jury duty; that makes my availability a little more reliable.  This weekend I play to bring the message, “Wise Men Will Seek Jesus” from Matthew 2:1-18.  Please read through the attached “Digging Deeper” Bible study notes before Sunday to get the most out of the message.

My church history class will be cancelled for tomorrow (Friday, December 29^th); class will resume at 10:00am on Friday, January 5^th with the study: “Martin Luther & The Anabaptists.” 

NOTE: Remember all Bible study groups will be resuming next week after several took time off for the Christmas/New Year’s break.

3. Presentation and affirmation vote on our proposed expansion of the church sanctuary.  The proposed expansion would bring us to over 370 seats; we currently have 250.
