Let Us Pray

We’re going to try holding our midweek prayer meeting via Facebook Live. The live stream will begin at 6:30 and last about 30 minutes. During the live session, if you have prayer requests, you can share them as comments. If you choose to do so, please avoid unnecessary detail – just a word or two. And if you share a request about somebody other than yourself, please ensure you have their permission to do so before putting it on a…

Weekend Update

Well Brothers and Sisters, it’s the beginning of Holy Week this coming Sunday – Palm Sunday. The service will be similar to what we’ve done the last two weeks. I’ll send you a suggested outline to follow as you gather in your homes to worship, and there is a video portion to the service that will be included.

Food Distribution Plans – 3/27/2020

We have a good problem – too many people showing up to help with this service! So I’d like to split into two teams, one for the Friday distribution and one for the Tuesday distribution. I’ve asked the Methodist Church to do the same, so we should be better able to have opportunity for all who are present to serve. SO… please email or text me and let me know whether you would prefer to work on Tuesday or Friday…

Below is the list of prayer requests that have come in recently. I encourage you to stop what you’re doing at 6:30 this evening, and pray over the list.

You can view it here either before or during the prayer meeting time. Here is the prayer list for tonight, starting…

The Lord’s Day! Family Worship Plans

We’re going to be different from some other churches in how we address our services. We’re going to hold church in our homes, in our families, with fathers and mothers leading their own families in worship. Please try and follow this brief outline when you gather your family together Sunday morning at 10:30. It will be explained in more detail in this video, but it would work best if you don’t watch the video until you’ve tried to get through…

Leftover Food!

Good afternoon, Church Family, Thanks to all who helped deliver food this morning, and hung around to distribute food to those who might show up here. We have a lot of food left over, however, and need to distribute it to anybody and everybody who has need. If you need one of the bags of food, please come to the church and get it. First come first served. If you know of somebody in need, please come to the church…

Here is the most recent plan, and the one we will be utilizing going forward: Tuesdays and Fridays there will be food bags delivered to the church by 10:00 AM.
