Life Notes – Feb 11th

February 11, 2009

Good afternoon!
 
We wanted to share some more information about the upcoming Financial class that we will be offering called: “Financial Peace University” – by Dave Ramsey

I know that we have been announcing the upcoming class both in church & through these email updates, but I was recently given even more information to share with everyone.

 
 
The class will begin on Monday night March 2nd @ 6:30pm. 
(we changed it to Monday nights to accommodate many who were unable to make is on Sunday evenings, and hope that this will be a better night for the majority of people)
 
The class will be a mix of video on the big screen, and discussion time, and will be facilitated by Scott & Jaime Duck.

–> The Ladies Bible study group started their new book off with a great night of fun!
They have recently been going through a “book” of the bible at a time. Last week they finished the book of Ruth, and the next book on their list, is the book of Esther. To start their series off, they had a movie night & watched “One Night With The King”… which is the story of Esther.
Please plan to join them each Tues. evening at 7pm – all ladies are invited!
This week the group will meet at Donna Z.’s home.

Life Notes – Feb 4th

Good Morning Everyone!
 
A quick update for you…
 
 
Today is Pastor Jonnie’s birthday!!!
Feb 4th
 
He is such a blessing to all of us, and we are very thankful for him!
 
So… tonight, after church, we are inviting everyone back to our house for some refreshments. Service usually gets over around 8:30… then by the time everything gets packed up, it’s approx 9 – 9:15. Many times, a big group of people will go over to McDonalds for fellowship, so instead, please come over & help us celebrate Pastor Jonnie’s birthday!
 
Don’t feel like you have to stay late, just pop in for a while!
 
 
** Don’t forget the upcoming convention in MD – Feb 17th – 20th If you are able to go, would you mind letting us know? If you need a room at the church, there is still time for that as well!

** Exciting things are happening at the church! Pastor has started working on the front room, in preparation for the new Youth Church area.
 
We are very excited to start “re-development” of our Sunday morning classes! We feel that this will not only be a blessing to the parents (both current parents, and those still to come), but the children will also greatly benefit. We see the need for expansion in this area, and are looking forward to it. Although we know that this is only the beginning and that we will need further expansion in the future, we want to use what we have available to us right now.
 
 
There will be an opening for all different types of service:
- artistic people
- those that are good with arts/crafts
- puppet ministry
- singing
- reading stories
- helpers
- actors
- etc.
 
If you feel that you would like to serve in the children’s dept. in any way, please let us know.
 
I can tell you…. after MANY years of serving in the children’s dept. in our church… it is a true blessing!
  
We love you all & are looking forward to worshiping with you tonight!
 
Pastors Dan & Pearl Sanborn
