From Pastor Wes:
PASS IT ON! Sometimes when we receive a blessing, it is not for us to keep, but to pass on to someone who may need it more. This past weekend a very kind person gave me two beautiful loaves of bread. I was thankful and touched by that generous act of kindness. But since I was headed out of town for a few days, I wondered what best to do with it. One loaf sat next to me as I went to the gas station. The gas attendant looked cold, overworked and unhappy. After he finished with the gas pump, I showed him the beautiful loaf of bread and asked if he would like it. His face broke out into a huge smile and his whole demeanor changed as he accepted it. It seemed like this simple act had made his whole day. But it had cost me nothing! I simply passed along from the kindness that I had already received. Jesus said, "Freely you have received. Freely give." Simple statement. Profound idea! As we share Christ's love, God's joy will be spread around! God Bless YOU today! --Pastor Wes |

CHURCH VISION FOR 2012:
God accomplished many great things for the Church in the past year and we praise Him for it! We are poised to take some significant steps forward in 2012 strengthening our ministry and outreach. Bible Quiz team, Vacation Bible School, Youth Praise Team, Summer Camps, Creation Music Festival, Festival of Life conferences are all vital new ministries targeted to children and youth. Also, we are taking steps to build our Ladies' and Men's Ministries--watch for these in the coming month. At the core, everything that we seek to do should fit the criterion of "Continuous Intentional Discipleship"--helping every person grow to be more like Jesus Christ. What does He want to do in your heart and life this year? |

Happy New Year! God has brought us through 2011 and into a brand new year! We are so excited to see what God has in store for us this year.
Last Saturday, the Youth Group went to Curtis Lanes and struck out 2011 with 2 games of bowling. Hopefully a video can come soon.
Today, we resume Youth Group meetings and we are starting to tackle the Armor of God found in Ephesians. Check it out--we are entering a battle zone!
Kid wise, the VBS material came in a few weeks ago! We are finalizing the VBS dates in the upcoming weeks, so keep on the look out for that and the All Points Bulletin for volunteers.
Praise God for what he's doing in our Teens and Kids
