Baggage Claim

2009-09-21T17:37:00.000-04:00

This year's dinner theater was phenomenal. The cast did an awesome job sharing the message of Christ through this well thought out play. The play intertwines the lives of several extraordinary characters that have all been changed by the love of Jesus. As a family meets these characters their own issues come to light. As they celebrate New Year's Eve with everyone the baggage everyone is carrying become evident. A huge thank you to Ms. Laura & Ms. Marnell for directing and putting everything together. This year's play was the best thus far! We are all looking forward to next year.

Once again we will team up with other churches to collect toys and various items for children in Mexico for Christmas. We are collecting for boys and girls from PK through 8th grade. This is an opportunity for us to be the hands of Jesus. This year we will not use shoe boxes but large plastic bags. The bags will hold the equivalent of an adult shoebox. Here are the types of items we are looking for: crayons, colored pencils, coloring books, small stuffed animals, small prizes, sunglasses, pencil sharpeners, erasers, dress up stuff, race cars, play dough, silly putty, yo-yos, plastic rings, necklaces, etc. Please drop in boxes in foyers. Questions, see Beth Tarleton, Mission's Chairman.

Walking with God: Making Friends in the Bible

Taught by Amy Tarleton

In your walk with God, have you ever made a promise to start reading and studying the Bible but it turns out to be a mindless and annoying chore on your to-do list? Have you had a hard time understanding Scripture? Have you ever felt inadequate to study or teach the Bible? Do you long to have a passion for God's Word? Do you want to start ENJOYING the Bible? Then we invite you to continue your Walk With God with us on Wednesday nights in the sanctuary starting April 15th. Come learn how to approach God's Word in a relatable, exciting, even scholarly way! You may even make friends with Nicodemus, Samuel, or John the Baptist along the way.

Walking With God

2009-02-12T21:03:00.002-05:00

Walking With God

Wednesday Nights Starting February 25th

Remember that cup of coffee, lunch or dinner with a friend. You shared, laughed, cried, learned more about him or her in just that few moments together than you thought possible. It deepened your friendship and led to years of a relationship in which you gained so much, seemingly had to give so little. Now...you would not have it any other way.

That, and more, is what God has for you. A relationship, a friendship, an intimacy so deep that you walk with Him, talk with Him, and He with you about everything. But you say, "That can't be," or "I read my Bible, but it is not alive." You are doubting it is possible.

We invite you to come, beginning Wednesday night February 25th and for the following six Wednesday nights during the season of Lent, to begin, renew, deepen your Walk with God. Learn how to hear from Him, moment by moment, how to talk with Him, and most of all, be cherished by Him. We will meet in the Sanctuary at 6:30pm each Wednesday for an hour. Hope to see you there.

Christmas Drama

The Christmas Drama was a huge success this year. Each night we had a great turn-out and many lives were touched and changed. We want to thank everyone who helped out in any way...actors, costumes, sound & lighting, make-up, food, stage & prop crew...without you it could not have happened. A big thank you also goes to Mrs. Arlene and Ms. Laura for directing.
