Merry Christmas from Myrtle Grove Baptist Church
 
Greetings!
 
10:30am:  We will observe our annual March to the Manger which is our opportunity to bring our Lottie Moon Christmas Offerings to the Lord in ceremonial fashion. 

Remember, our church goal is $12,000 this year.  I believe that we can reach our goal if each one of us will sacrificially give a gift beyond our regular tithes and offerings.  Currently we have received $6,494.00.  Pastor Ron

·    6pm:  Our Children's Choirs will present Christmas music.
