As always, we hope you will join us on Sundays and Wednesday evenings. Please click HERE for our full schedule, and let us know if you have any questions.

This coming Sunday, March 24, we will have lunch following our morning worship service, and Allen Calkins of the Missouri Baptist Children’s Home Foundation will lead us through a financial stewardship seminar. During this two-hour gathering, Allen will teach us about the basics of biblical stewardship, biblical budgeting, and biblical estate planning. If you care about your financial well-being and your financial integrity, you do not want to miss this event!

Of course, we also hope you will join us for family groups (9:30 a.m.) and our worship service (10:40 a.m.). Allen will be preaching God’s Word to us during the worship service, and the lunch and stewardship seminar will follow.

If you have any questions or want more information, please contact us. For our weekly schedule of events and services, please click HERE.

Childcare will be provided.

Registration is required, along with the purchase of the class materials online.  The deadline to sign up is Tuesday, January 15, but the sooner the better.

Please see Preston or Kami Thompson if you have any questions, or contact the church.  If you are interested in helping sponsor a couple to go through the class or you would like to help with childcare, please let them know. Thank you!

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!
