Here are a few of the many pictures I posted of our Christmas Social. There are a bunch of family shots as well. So if you posed, make sure you come get your pic.

Here’s the link to the other photos. They are in the Church set on my Flickr page. The new photos are at the very end.

Sunday Night at 6:00 pm the group Maple Sally, a bluegrass Gospel group, will be in concert. After the concert we wil enjoy an Ice Cream Social Fellowship. Come and invite friends/family to enjoy their music and worship with us. Stay for some fellowship!

If you want to learn more about the group, see their Facebook page or their website. The man second from the right is John and he has been attending our church a little with one of our members, Sandy Sessions!

After worship on Sunday Night Feb 6 we will again show the big game. We ask that you bring snacks, drinks, maybe a comfortable lawn chair and of course your self, family and friends. Invite people who wouldn’t otherwise come to church by enticing them with a huge screen in full HD quality!!

Our Summer Outdoor Movies are starting this coming Friday at 9:00 pm. The first movie will be the Billy: The Early Years about the early life of Billy Graham, the great evangelist. Invite friends and family and bring chairs, bug repellent and some snacks.

Father’s Day is this Sunday. We have a couple of special Father’s Day happenings, or at least in one case a non-happening.

First, the ladies are fixing breakfast for us. All Dads and Sons are welcome to come get some eggs, biscuits and gravy at 9:00 am.

Then, after Sunday School and worship we have the day to ourselves. There will be no evening activities, so enjoy some extra family time.

And for Dads, I will be preaching on The Encouraging Father.

Wednesday Night Supper and Study

Just a quick note to all of our members. We are starting off our special study called For Parents Only (see the web site) this week. The purpose of this study is to help the parents of our church understand their kids and become better parents in accordance with Ephesians 6:4.  I hope all of our parents will come and be at this study on Wednesday Nights in January and February.  The book that this is based on is one of the most important books I’ve read as a parent. That is not hyperbole. I really mean that. It has helped me greatly and I wanted to share it with you. We will get an overview of the study this week and give out the book and the study guide.

We start at 6:30 this week. The reason is that we know many families have a hard time getting home in time to eat and then get to church. So at 6:30 we will have a meal. This won’t be a big church potluck. This week we are have soup and sandwiches. So come get a healthy, hot supper and learn how to relate to your kids.

The youth are also taking part in a similar study. The guys are studying For Guys Only which will help them better understand themselves, their parents, and girls.  The girls are study For Girls Only which will do the same for them – help them understand themselves, their parents and guys.

We will also have regular Children In Action and a nursery.

If you have friends with kids, let them know about this great study!!
