Hi everyone,
This weekend I plan to bring the message, “The Golden Chain Of Salvation” from Romans chapter 8:28-39, we will also have a small gift for every mother in attendance as this Sunday is Mother’s Day. Please read through the attached “Digging Deeper” Bible study notes before Sunday to get the most out of the message.
Note: We have had several of our regular church families move to other states to states where the economy is better for young families. A wise, old pastor once told me, “Mike, we have to keep the front door open wider than that backdoor.” There is a lot of truth to that statement. Thank you for doing your part in inviting people to church with you, it was a blessing to see so many people at church last Sunday!
A Funny Footnote
Last weekend I shared the story of the screaming nurse and the birth of our first child at Fort Carson, Colorado. After church, an elderly doctor came up to me and told me that he had served as a doctor in that very same World War II era hospital just a few years before Cheryl and I were there in 1977. In what department? Gynecology. What are the odds? J
Women’s Retreat – “Chosen By The King”

Our Woman’s Retreat is just a little over a week away, we hope you can attend this amazing time together. Our speaker this year will be Juany Rehling and the message is sure to be dynamic as well as practical. For more information, please call Stefanie Ahlers at 541-297-2899.
Sound Ministry
We are looking for individuals who would like to serve in the sound ministry. Interested individuals must have an ear for balancing music and be comfortable with the technical aspect of the ministry. A musical background is preferred but not required. If you are interested, please talk to Sam Turman or me.
Nursery Need
Nursery Coordinator Vicki Young has informed me that she needs more volunteers for the Nursery. If you are willing to love on these precious little children once a month, please let me know and I will pass your name on to Vicki.
Special Thanks!
Special thanks to Phil and Karen Slaughter for cleaning up the big white cross near our parking lot, painting it bright white, and putting some new plants around it. The cross really looks nice, thank you Phil and Karen.
Building Update
We are nearing the completion of Phase I on our Building project. The new metal double doors will be installed in our main entryway in the not-too-distant future. Handicap bars have now been installed in the children’s bathrooms to help elderly adults get in and out. The elders should have a bid soon on what it will cost us to remodel the prayer room next to the baptistry. When this room is completed, we will be able to call people forward after church for prayer and also be able to use it for an additional classroom. Special thanks to Doug Cole Construction for the outstanding job in bringing this project to conclusion.
