MEN’S LUNCHEON is on Thursday, April 18, at 11:30, in fellowship hall.

The reaction to his acceptance is such that the men have decided to open the meeting to women members and guests, who would enjoy hearing the Chief. The luncheon will be at 11:30, here at the church. Everyone in the church is invited and attendees may bring a guest. There is no charge for the luncheon but free will contributions will be appreciated. To make this work, please sign up for the event on the PIC board located in fellowship hall and indicate the number of guests you are bringing. GOOD FRIDAY TENEBRAE SERVICE is on Friday, April 19 at 7:00pm, in the sanctuary.

CHURCH GROWTH – There are many benefits of being a member of a small church; the chance to know a lot of the members, the chance to be involved and a part of something special, and the ability to get in and out of the parking lot quickly (just kidding). The truth is, the benefits are many! But another truth is that is behooves each member to be an active participant in our church. We encourage you to find something to be a part of. |
