He was here several years ago when he was first starting out for a week long revival and lock in with the youth group. We hope old, new, and current members will come out and join us. There will also be special music and a pot luck dinner following the services.

Pastor Ron relayed to us an important truth from the Bible “Don’t take your eyes off Jesus.” Face those giants with power from Jesus.
Pastor Ron also read to the membership a letter he received in response to the recent article in the Outlook. This person was happy with our decision and gave us a donation. PTL!

Several of our folk are involved with doing the "Daniel Fast". Bro. Kevin's message of the hour reminded us that God's plan is recorded for a reason. God knows what we choose to do.

Sunday school is always a time of learning more about the verses in the bible. The more we learn (all ages) the closer we get to know the word of God. In our class, we discussed the problems of false teachings going on even in Jesus’ time. That’s why we put so much emphasis on going to church and especially bringing your kids to church, we are still dealing with those false teachings and the only way to know the difference is to know God.
The children’s message “Measuring God’s Love” was from John 3:14-21, Bro. Dale talked of the many ways we measure – a timer, a measuring cup, a tape measure; but Christ’s love exceeds all capable means of measuring, His love is perfect.
Brystal Smith-Beighle read scripture Ephesians 4:1-6 and the Praise team had special music, followed by Bro. Dale’s message, Relationships from Colossians 3:12-17. The time you spend building a relationship with God allows you to learn to love one another and to forgive one another. “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.” Matthew 6:14.
