“A Great Commission Church”

(Matthew 28: 19-20)

Greetings From The Pastor:

There are many, many things I enjoy as a Pastor. One of those things (or, should I say moments) was the recent Church Council Meeting. Yep! I did say Church Council Meeting. To hear each person involved in their respective ministry interject---being a part of the whole, of the greater mission of our church, inspired me tremendously. Let me say thanks to each person who participated and, let me say thanks for their input. Below are some highlights of that meeting: what is ahead for the next five months (February - June). This input will help you plan for the special events as they may apply to you personally and opportunities that apply to the church corporately.

Our Evangelism Team will be hosting Fellowship Meals on February 1 & 8, March 7 & 21, April 18, May 2 & 16, and June 6 & 20. More information forth-coming on this opportunity from our Evangelism Team.

In addition to the Fellowship Meals, we will also enjoy the culinary delights of our men who prepare breakfast. Dates: February 5, March 4, April 8, and May 6.

February 12: its Senior Adult Sunday. We will honor our Senior Adults during worship and celebrate with sandwiches, cake and punch after worship.

On February 18, its fun, food, laughter as we will celebrate with a Valentine’s Dinner and Variety Show. And then on Sunday, February 19^th, we want to celebrate with any married couple who would like to re-new their wedding vows during worship. Please contact me (Pastor Wayne) no later than February 15 if you would like to participate.

On February 22, we will have a special Ash Wednesday Service. This service helps us focus on our need for self examination as we remember the great sacrifice given for us.
