New Stuff Coming...

We are working on some new stuff for this year.  In the next week or so, we will be revealing our youth calendar.  This will have all of our events for the following year.

Here are some highlights and changes you will see...

1.  The afterschool program will be back!  We will be hiring two college interns to help us with this ministry.  Our goal is to enroll 20-25 students in the afterschool program for Wednesday nights.  With the extra help we will be able to give music lessons, cooking lessons, and homework tutoring (among other stuff).  This program will once again be FREE!!!

2.  This year is the year of growth and missions.  You will see more mission projects throughout the year.  We'll be visiting nursing homes as well as other ideas that you thought of the past couple of weeks.

3.  "The Point" will be brought back to Wednesday nights.  As we said earlier our goal is to grow this year and we would like everyone to focus on inviting friends to our Wednesday night services.  Our services will actually start at 6:30 and go until 8pm.  During that time we will have a worship service, a message, and have a time for our SHARP Groups to meet.

We will have more exciting things to come.  Start praying now as we develop our ministry around God's will.

Hey Guys,

We are going to have ONE MORE fundraiser this year for Camp/Mission trip.

We are in need of side dishes and desserts.  We'll be having BBQ as our main dish.

One of the most important things you can do is INVITE people!  Invite friends, family, neighbors, whoever to our fundraiser.

The dinner will start at 6pm, and the concert will start at 7pm.  The concert will feature our praise band "Dirty Fridge" and our talented pastor, Bro. Randy.

Only those who work the fundraiser will receive the money that has been collected.  We need fundraiser workers at church at 5pm on that Wednesday!

A Special "The Point".

Things have been crazy the past few weeks.  Many of us have just had our spring break and are returning back to school to finish out our year.

I would like to invite you all to a special "The Point" service.  The service will be a little different than our services in the past.

We will be talking about a very controversial subject.  Because of this we are also inviting any adult/parent that would like to come and be a part of our service.

The one thing that will remain the same is the time.  We will be going from 6-8pm.  The first half will be our SHARE time when you all can come up and share something God is doing in your life.

I know I say this a lot, but I would really like you all to put an extra effort in bringing friends to this special night.
