Did you know we have a Young Adult group?

That’s right…. For all you guys & girls who are out of high school (18+) and less than “OLD”, we meet on Wednesdays at 7pm.

This group is led by Rob Hunt, and will have offsite meetings a couple of times a month.

The group is currently looking at World Religions and focusing on Christian Science and Scientology (not the same thing!).

Acts 13:1-12:  Paul and Barnabas are chosen from the congregation in Antioch to tell about Jesus throughout the world.  In obedience, they go.  Even at their first stop on the journey they face opposition.  Notice how God strengthens faith and even creates faith in the midst of opposition.

Come check it out.  We meet at 9:00am in the Fellowship Hall.  All are welcome!

This month we are asking for donations of mac & cheese for the Food Pantry.

Please put your donations in the marked container in the narthex. THANK YOU!

Also, with the high winds a couple of weeks ago, our new banner disappeared into oblivion. We are seeking help in getting a new one. The cost is about $200. Any help would be appreciated. Chuck will be picking up our order for April on Friday.  It’s a blessing that we can help our community in this manner.  If any questions, please contact Chuck Bern at [email protected] or Greg Shrader at [email protected]
