We are collecting for those in need!!!
We have a new ministry called: BLESSINGS IN A BAG.
We are asking for donations to make bags. These bags will be taken to Portland, the Clothes Closet, and we will have some at church for those that need one.
Please bring any donations to church or pick something from the Amazon wishlist, the QR code above will take you directly to the site.
PLEASE DO NOT SHIP DIRECTLY TO THE CHURCH.
We are hoping to collect enough items to make our first 150 bags.
There will be a box for donations where is visible in the lobby near the secretary's office.
People can purchase donations anywhere, they don’t just have to be from Amazon.
Any donation would be greatly appreciated.

"For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ." Galatians 3:27
Those who are saved and ready to take the next step in their journey with the Lord, we call to the baptismal pool. We will be baptizing during the service on Sunday, August 17. If you are ready to take this step, please sign up in the lobby or contact the church secretary. Please come to church that day by 10:30 AM to attend a short class about baptism with Pastor Mike. Please bring a change of clothes. We look forward to seeing you and celebrating with you.

Life Recovery Guest Speaker Hilary Abell
Hilary Abell's recovery date is April 21, 2019. She was a menace to society and lost in the lifestyle that tried to kill her. It took jail to saver her life and she is forever grateful to God for doing that for her because she could not stop on her own. She has continued to grow stronger with Him every single day over the last 6 years. He has been with her and helped her through many trials and tribulations throughout her recovery. She is eternally grateful to Him. She says, "Not every day is perfect with Him, I know I am okay, always."
Come out and support Hilary and our brothers and sisters in Life Recovery on the 21st. You will be glad you did.
