“Every Christian’s Calling” – Psalm 142:4 by Rev Hames

There will be a time during the service for anyone to place your Lottie Moon Christmas Offering in the manger. Our church goal is $8,000.00. We will collect this special offering during December.

It is now time to begin adopting shut-ins for 2022. A list is available in the cross hall if you would like to participate in this special ministry! Our goal is to let them know how special and loved they are to us all!

NOTE: The Christmas gifts for our shut-ins are available Sunday, December 12 in the cross hall. If you have an adopted shut-in, please pick up this gift and deliver during the coming week. Thank you!

We are in the process of installing a FOB system for our Family Life Center, that would allow you to gain access to the building. There is a sheet on the office window that we ask you to sign up if you would like to be issued a FOB for the new building. This will help us to have an idea of how many will be needed. Thank you for your cooperation!

Registration has begun for children, ages 5-12, to have fun playing basketball during January and February 2022. Forms are available at bulletin stations or call the church office if you need one sent to you. The final in-person sign-up will be on Saturday, December 18, 9:00 am until 12:00 pm in the Hames Family Life Center. Please see Tony Gosnell for further details.
