ANNOUNCEMENTS:
This Sunday, Jan. 31st, there will be two services at 9:00 am and 10:30 am. This is a 5th Sunday and we will have a special time of fellowship between the two services. There will be coffee, donuts, and pretzels served from 10:05-10:30 AM. Pastor Drew will continue teaching his sermon series, “New Mercies” and we will celebrate communion together during both services. There will be nursery & toddler care and children’s programming for all ages during the second service. If you prefer, you may attend the first service and sit together as a family. The service will be live streamed during the 9:00 am service. It will be posted on Face Book if you prefer to watch the service at a later time.
Report on Attendance:
We are happy to report that our services are filling back up! Attendance is running 275-280 between the two services and is over 300 with our on-line viewers! Kids Country is active and growing as well with an average of 50-60 children and volunteers. If you have not been attending in-person we miss you and hope to see you soon!
