They include Focus on the Family Magazine, New Man, Today's Christian, and several different daily devotionals: Quiet Walk, Close Walk, Family Walk, Daily Walk, and Tapestry. We hope you take advantage of these free materials.
Thank You A big thank you goes out to all of our outgoing committee and board members for 2004. The work you've done for our church has been great and includes the following: ushers, trustees, maintenance, music, Christian education, evangelism, memorial and Church Council. There are so many people who take an active part in our church in the following areas throughout the year: lawn care, flower beds, preparation of communion, the library, bulletin folding, pew supplies, laundry items, decorating, sound system and tape recording, bulletin boards, mid-week meals, and donation of needed items. |
