Wednesday's On Purpose
Wednesday's On Purpose
Make plans to join us this Wednesday for Wednesday's On Purpose. Adult Bible Study is now divided into three different classes. Pastor Jason Gilmore is teaching on "Living In The Spirit", Pastor Joseph Kelley is teaching on "What's The Difference" and Pastor Ryan Rose is teaching on "Living 4 Christ". Check out the website at www.WednesdaysOnPurpose.com for all the classes offered on Wednesday evenings, upcoming events and much more.
 
Just a reminder: Wednesday evening services now begin at 7 p.m.
 
The Hogan Family
As many of you know we lost not only a church member but a dear friend on Friday. To many Micah Hogan was known for her beautiful voice that was a part of the Safe Haven Choir.  Micah was killed in a car wreck on Friday morning.
 
We are, however, happy to report that her children, who were also involved in the wreck, are recovering and will be able to leave the Arkansas Children's Hospital on Tuesday. Please continue to keep this family in your prayers as they heal, grieve and pick up the pieces of their lives.
 
The visitation will be held at Butterfield Church on Thursday, January 12th from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
 
The funeral service will be held at Butterfield Church on Friday, January 13th at 2 p.m.
 
We are accepting contributions for the Hogan's to help cover funeral expenses and medical bills. If you would like to make a contribution, please mark your check or tithing envelope accordingly. You can also make a contribution through Citizen's Bank to which an account has been set up specifically for the Hogan's. The account number to reference is 507286324.
 
All flowers can be delivered to Edwards Van-Alma and all cards can be mailed or dropped off at the church. We will hand deliver all cards received to Kendall & the children.
 
We will be setting up a page by the end of the day for people to login & volunteer to provide meals for the family. Once this is set-up, we will send out the information.
 
Gold Party 
On January 21st we will have a Gold Party Fundraiser in CYC 1. All proceeds will benefit the Mission Mansion. Drop-in anytime from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with your gold and silver. You will be paid for your items and they will match 10% to go to the Mission Mansion. What better way to make some extra cash and help the church at the same time!
Ladies' Bible Study Correction
