Ladies Bible Study at Evie Mann’s home in Eden. They are tackling a new study called “Pleasing God”. If you’re looking for more study, encouragement, and prayer in your life, consider joining this group. The study begins at 8:00 pm.

Wednesday, January 7th
Wednesday Evening Bible Study and Prayer Meeting at 7:00 pm. We’re continuing on in our new study in the book of James called “Brother to Brother”. Join us for a series of lessons intended to give “brotherly” advice to fellow pilgrims in exile … like us!

Sunday, January 11th
Singspiration! at 6:30 pm. It’s our turn to host this special community event. Bring a favorite dessert to share during fellowship time to follow.

Tuesday, January 13th
Full Church Board Meeting at 7:00 pm


In an effort to reduce the cost of heating the church building in winter, the Church Board again recommends meeting for worship in the Adult Sunday School Classroom. We recommend holding our worship services downstairs in the “Winter Chapel” at our regular time of 10:45 am. Please see Fred or Derek with any questions or concerns you may have about this temporary arrangement. Thank you for your understanding in this important matter. – The Church Board


Don’t forget … following this morning’s Communion Meal, we’ll be enjoying a fellowship meal together. Plan to join us!


Get the most out of the service by asking about our special listening devices. Pick up one in the back or see an usher. If yours isn’t working properly, don’t be bashful about raising your hand to ask for assistance.
