Thursday, November 29 (7:00 – 8:00 p.m.) = Are You Called into Ministry?
Have you ever thought God might be calling you into the ministry or missions? What if you sense a desire to be a worship leader or serve in children or youth ministry? Or, maybe you know you are called to preach but need some help refining that calling. If so, Preston Thompson (the Director of Missions for Grand Crossings Baptist Association) invites you to come to this introductory meeting for a new training ground that is being developed specifically for churches in our area.

Sunday, December 2 (2:00 – 2:45 p.m.) = Monthly Ministry at Fulton Nursing & Rehab
This takes place the first Sunday of each month. Anyone is welcome to join us as we sing hymns with the residents, and Pastor Nick preaches a short message.

Thursday, December 4 (7:00 – 8:00 p.m.) = Disaster Relief Ministry Meeting
Preston Thompson is calling all trained volunteers from Grand Crossings Baptist Association and everyone else interested in being a part of Disaster Relief to join us for this meeting. We are seeking to get more organized on how we can go out on deployment as an associational team and will also talk about the upcoming trainings.

Saturday, December 8 (9:00 – 11:00 a.m.) = Candy-Making Saturday
Join us for this family-fun event of fellowship and candy preparation for the Christmas season.

Sunday, December 9 (12:00 – 1:30 p.m.) = Recycled Teenagers’ Christmas Dinner & Party
Our senior adults are invited to join us for a Christmas lunch and gift exchange.

Sunday, December 23 (5:00 – 5:45 p.m.) = Christmas Candlelight Service
One of the highlights of the year for many people, this short candlelight service is a great time of worship through song, prayer, the reading of the Christmas story, and a short message.

Saturday, January 5 (5:00 – 8:00 p.m.) = Missions Supper and Pie & Cake Auction
Ladies and gentlemen, it is time to show off your best baking skills for a great cause. In our fellowship hall, we will have a pie and cake auction in order to raise support for those going on mission trips in 2019. We have missionaries going on trips to Guatemala, North Dakota, and Central Asia next summer. Here is what is required: 1) make your best 1 or 2 pies or cakes for the auction. 2) Invite your friends and family to come to the auction. Also, we will have a dinner for this event, so everyone can eat before the auction begins. Remember, this is a fundraiser and will be a fun time of fellowship for everyone. If you have any questions please contact Preston Thompson at 573-826-9584 or grandcrossings@gmail.com.

*NOTE: Unless otherwise stated, all events will take place at our church facilities.

As always, you are invited to join us every Sunday and Wednesday. Hope to see you soon!

• You won’t decide who will raise your minor children, the courts will decide.
• You won’t decide who receives your estate, state intestate law will dictate.
• You won’t be able to reduce the cost of probate, the full amount will come out of your estate.
• You won’t be able to reduce any taxes owed, the full amount will come out of your estate.
• You can’t leave anything for the Lord’s work, the Lord’s work isn’t included in the state’s plan.
