Pastor Larry will preach the sermon which was snowed out two weeks ago.

"Lessons from the New Preacher" will feature Jesus calling his first disciples and then starting his ministry. You may read the passage in Matthew 4:12-23. This sermon will also involved the congregation as we explore what it means to be a disciple and how our Sunday School helps us in that effort. Bring and friend and show up ready to meet God.

January 9 - SPECIAL SERVICE. We will look at the meaning of the baptism of Jesus in Matthew 3:13-17. During our service we will renew the vows we took at the time we joined the church. This renews our baptism vows we took or was taken for us and confirmed by us. This is a very meaningful way to begin the new year.

If you plan to have a perfect attendance in worship this week you will have to be in worship this week. That's not so bad. We will have a great time. Pastor Larry's sermon will be: "Real Men of Genius." Perhaps you've heard those ads but this will be a little different as we look at the men of genius in Matthew 2:1-12.

The celebration of the Epiphany begins with the arrival of the magi.

Come and join us.

March To the Manger on Sunday

4th Sunday in Advent.

We're almost there.

Pastor Arlin will preach, "A Voice from Heaven." Matthew 1:18-25.

We will observe our "March to the Manger."

Last year it was complicated by the Christmas Eve storm but this year it will be on Sunday.

We hope you have prayed about the amount you will include in your gift for the "babe in the manger."

Put it in a white envelope or wrap it with white. White symbolizes our victory in Christ and the purity of Christ.

Tie with a red ribbon or put a red bow on it. Red is to remind us that Jesus paid the price of His life as the greatest gift.

This is an event you must attend. It will bring you closer to Christ than you have ever been.
