"Reaching Forward Together"
Loving God, Loving Each Other, Loving to Share His Story
Priority 1

CHANGE FROM A DOLLAR:

      A brand new year is before us. As I’ve aged, I’ve grown less confident in my personal plans and goals and more confident in God’s grace and leadership. Our church family continues to recover from our natural disaster in 2017. We want to pray for and help all of our families to rebuild their homes. Hopefully, our own church buildings will be completed this year.
      Yet, I want you to join me in Priority 1! God’s Word teaches us that we’re to love the Lord supremely (Deuteronomy 6:5). Jesus said that God’s kingdom is to be first in our lives (Matthew 6:33). God loves lost and saved people (John 3:16).Will you ask the Lord for one soul this year? The Good Shepherd left the ninety-nine to find the one sheep that went astray. Who will be your 1?
      Stay tuned for opportunities to train in sharing your faith with others. God amazingly provides opportunities to serve Him when we are willing servants.
      Who will be your 1?

Read the Bible through in a year!

Many of our members have chosen to participate in the “Read the Bible Through” project. In one year you too can read the entire Bible. It takes only about 15 to 20 minutes a day. Just think, you can read every word of God’s message to us contained in Old and New Testaments. There are no other “testaments” or books of doctrine that are from God…just the Bible. Make this year the time your life changed! If you would like to view or print the reading schedule, Click here for “Read the Bible Through in a Year.pdf” (76kb)

Or … “Read Through in Two”!

You may choose a new way of reading the whole Bible. It’s called “Read Through in Two.” The pace is not as fast and you can spend more time on readings you enjoy. Start a New Year out right. Begin your daily reading of God’s Word! You may view and download the Bible readings for the year by clicking here “Read Through in Two.pdf” (162kb)
