Come and worship with us through song, prayer, giving, and the preaching of God’s Word. Ron Forbis will be preaching a message title “What Did He Say?” from Matthew 16:21-25.

If you are unable to join us in person, you can watch online via our Facebook page. Of course, we do not consider viewing online to be a replacement for gathering with the body of Christ for worship and fellowship, but we understand that some people are simply unable to gather in person due to sickness, travel, or other circumstances. Thus, we are making these options available to serve those individuals.

Here is the rundown of our schedule for this week…

SATURDAY, AUGUST 5

8:00 – 9:00 a.m. = Men’s and Women’s Fellowships
–The women and men each have separate fellowship gatherings on Saturday mornings from 8-9. You are welcome to come and go as you are able. The women meet in the fellowship hall, and the men meet in the prayer chapel (Carson’s Family Group’s room). Invite others and join us for free coffee (or tea and/or lemonade) and snacks.

10:00 a.m. = Baby Shower for Jake and Kasey Ellis

SUNDAY, AUGUST 6

9:00 a.m. = Prayer Gathering
–Our weekly prayer gathering is a time to pray specifically for our church, our community, our country, and the advancement of the gospel to the world. Everyone is invited to join us, and we do not have other activities during this 15-minute time of prayer, including nursery or children’s activities, as we want all ages to join us and see the value, importance, and power of intentional corporate prayer.

9:30 a.m. = Family Groups (aka Sunday School)
–Family groups are Bible study fellowships for all ages – children, youth and adults. Nursery is included for infants and toddlers, too. We consider family groups to be an essential ministry for discipleship and relationships.

10:40 a.m. = Morning Worship Service (and live on Facebook)
–Morning worship is an essential time of growing in God’s Word together. It’s that time of the week when most of our church family is all together for the purpose of worshiping our Lord and building up His body. For those who are interested, we also provide nursery (toddlers and infants) and children’s ministry (kindergarten and below) during our morning worship services.

Please mark your calendars for our annual fall festival, which will be held at our church facilities on Sunday, October 16th from 3-7 p.m. As always, this event includes supper (FREE FISH FRY, along with other great food), music, basketball, kickball, octaball, other games, pumpkin decorating, the bounce house, popcorn, bonfires, hayrides, and more.

Something folks in our church and in our community look forward to each year, the fall festival is a great opportunity to fellowship with others, make new friends, enjoy great food and have a lot of fun. Because there is no set program, you can come and go as you please, but the games and activities will start at 3:00, with supper around 5:00 and the last event of the evening, the hayrides, starting around 6:00.

Church members, please be sure to bring lawn chairs for yourself and to share with others, if possible. Thank you!
