Celebrate the New Year!

People celebrate the coming of a new year in many ways.  Our church family likes to spend the evening enjoying fellowship, food, games, and then use the last moments of the year for a time of sharing and prayer.  Bring your favorite board games, leftover holiday snacks, and take part.  Starts at 7PM on December 31.  Ends at 12:05AM on January 1.

Candlelight Carols

Next Sunday evening is our Annual Candlelight Carols.  This is an evening filled with the music of Christmas.  Come join us at 6PM.  Stay for a time of refreshments and fellowship following the service.

Ministry and Dentistry

Steve and Ruth Porter (and Julie), our SIM missionaries, will return to Nigeria on December 28.  Pray for safe travels and a smooth transition back into ministry.  They will have much to do restarting the dental clinic, distributing grain to widows in Miango, and discipling young leaders for the church in Nigeria.
