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!

Serving Our Community https://www.playground.laredcreative.com/serving-our-community/ https://www.playground.laredcreative.com/serving-our-community/#respond Mon, 05 Nov 2018 14:30:54 +0000 http://www.playground.laredcreative.com/?p=7211 Our church serves at the Fulton Soup Kitchen on the second Thursday of every month. This Thursday, we will be serving from 6 – 8 p.m. For more information and/or to sign up, please contact Amber Clevenger (573-544-6589), fill out a contact form, or see the sign-up sheet in the church foyer. Thank you to those who have been faithfully serving in this great ministry to our community!

A few things have changed recently, so here is the update from Amber:

The new temporary location is at Backer Dining Hall on Westminster Campus. We will not need to bring anything, as all food and drinks will be provided. 

Westminster Administration has asked for a few ground rules so that things flow smoothly… 

1. Volunteers who can or choose to walk children from John C. Harris Community Center to Westminster will meet Lisa Thornburg at the flagpole at 6:15 p.m. (flagpole at the community center).

2. All other adults/volunteers will meet at the Berlin Wall Sculpture on campus at 6:40 p.m.

3. Everyone will then go in at Backer Dining Hall as a group, get food at the buffet, and eat in the side dining room.

4. Volunteers will help the kids (and anyone else) get their food and drinks through the line and sit down.

5. Volunteers will help clean up afterward the meal. 

Upcoming dates to serve: November 8, December 13, January 10, February 14.
