IMB MISSIONARIES TO SPEAK AT OUR CHURCH

Coming up next Sunday, December 1

, in both of our morning worship services and in our evening service, two retired missionary couples from Africa will be our guest speakers, as we kick off our Lottie Moon Christmas Offering emphasis. Both of these couples are retired career missionaries who worked with the International Mission Board for well over three decades. Most of that time was spent in Africa. Our pastor had the privilege of visiting the very places where these missionaries served and raised their families.

Information abounds...

The backpack food program

for the elementary school kids now has an official name and website. The official name approved by the state is Food 4 Kids Emerald Coast. The website is www.food4kidsemeraldcoast.com. (Please visit it.) The reason for the name change is because there is another facility in Florida with the same name, For Kids Only.

Thank you, Roland Koomen
