UPCOMING EVENTS
Wednesday Evening Bible Study
We have started our new Wednesday Evening Bible Study on the power and voice of God. Along with the Bible, we will be discussing 2 books by Author, Jack Deere. Jack Deere has been used mightily in the gifts of healing and prophecy. Come and hear how the Holy Spirit still desires to use each of us to reach people by the Gifts of the Spirit!
Men’s Christmas Dinner
The guys will be meeting for our Christmas dinner on December 7, 6:30 pm at Cheddars Restaurant! Sign up in the lower foyer!
Providence Place
On Wednesday, December 13, 6:30 pm we will meet at the church and head over to Providence Place for an evening of games, gifts and Christmas Carols for the residents there. If you prefer to drive yourself over, we will meet you there. It is such a blessing to minister to our friends at Providence Place.

There is a numbered sheet listing all the members of our church. Please note that the numbers have changed slightly from last year. If you did not receive a box and would like to, please see Pastor Jeff. If we missed you or if we have an incorrect spelling of your name, our apologies. Please let Pastor or Anna know.
