We thank the Lord for His faithfulness to us and for His hand of protection. Thank you for your support, encouragement and love for each other during these challenging times. Special thanks to Jeannie Forlaw for her work in her new role as Children’s Ministry Director and for the coordination of both the Children’s Education and Worship Committees in putting together our resumption plan.
May we continue to labor together in love for the sake of the gospel and God’s kingdom,
The Session
We have the following needs:
- More Sunday School teachers. Our new Sunday School time will be 10:00-10:45.
- Volunteers for Children’s Church for the 11:00 Services. This program is led by a two person team, preferably husband and wife. You may sign up for either service for one month.
Please prayerfully consider being a part of these rewarding ministries of our church. Please send an email the church office or to Jeannie to sign up.
Thank you,
Jeannie Forlaw
Children’s Ministry Director

How can I listen to today’s (4/21/2019) sermon online?
To listen to sermons, go to the home page, scroll down to the section “Love the Lord with All Your Heart”, then click on either the headphones icon, or “View All Sermons”. The link will take you to the last sermon that has been uploaded. It appears that it is currently taking about two weeks to get a sermon uploaded. It looks like there is room for at least two improvements: 1. Sermons need to be easier to find on the site, and 2. Perhaps a volunteer is needed who would take on the ministry of recording and uploading the sermons on a ‘same day’ basis.
