Good to Know
Life Groups
Have you joined a Life Group yet? This has been a wonderful way for us to follow Jesus together, building relationships, caring for and praying for each other. We are looking forward to continuing these encouraging activities and Bible study discussions.
We have two Zoom meetings and two in-person meetings each month. The Zoom group meets on Wednesdays (every other week) and the in-person group meets on Thursdays (every other week). If those nights don’t work for you, please let us know. We are open to starting another group to ensure that everyone can receive the benefit of Life Groups.
Church Facility Work Days
Church Facility Work Days will be held on the first Saturdays of the month, from 8:00 – 9:30 am. We will mostly be doing cleaning (vacuuming, dusting, sweeping), but we’ll also do some outdoor work (weather permitting), such as pulling weeds on the front sidewalk, etc. Please bring work gloves if you have them.
Give Opportunity
Please consider making a donation to our “Give” fund, to go towards the following work: Jonathan and Kristi Biggers – Assistive Technology Catalyst Project.
Jonathan has been a pastor and an Assistive Technology Professional for more than 15 years. Kristi has been a RN nurse for more than 10 years. They are moving to Guatemala to join Assistive Technology’s Catalyst Project bringing wheelchairs and professional educational, customizing, and medical services to people in need. They will serve by going out to villages and bringing customized chairs to those in need. They will train others to multiply this work. They will provide medical training. They and AT Catalyst work in partnership with hospitals, clinics, and other community programs. Catalyst works in various countries.
