Special Offerings for
Sam and Emmy Tanking
Due to the tragic house fire experienced by Sam and Emmy Tanking we will be taking up a special offering on February 1 and February 8 for them. Please contribute generously and show your love and support for these members of our church family.
Lenten Study
Starting February 22 we will have a six week Lenten Study led by Pastor Dawn.
The book Why Did Jesus Have to Die? is the newest offering from Adam Hamilton.
This book will take us through several atonement theories and help us come to a deeper understanding of the central event of our faith, the Crucifixion.
We will meet Sundays at 5 pm. Hope to see you there!
