"SHARE YOUR STORY, SHARE GOD'S LOVE"
Starting today, I will begin a new series of messages entitled, "Share Your Story."  This series of messages will focus on men and women from the Bible (both from the Old Testament and the New Testament) who shared their personal experiences with God.  Their stories will both challenge and inspire each one of us to become a bold witness for Christ.  Pastor Ron




Keenagers:

KEENAGERS: Our 2010 January meeting will be on the 5th at 10:00 AM in the fellowship hall.

Lunch will be barbeque pulled pork with all the sides. Due to the cost of the food everyone is requested to come prepared to give a little extra this month, if possible, to cover the cost of the meal. For additional information, contact Neil Thorsen,
