-MEDIA TEAM NEEDS:  Are you interested in learning/doing media for the Sunday services?  
  We would love to have a “team” of people to back each other up and rotate in the schedule.  If you are interested in learning/helping out, please see Kay Anderson!
 
Kingdom Kids Prize Restock – Kingdom Kids is off to a great start for the new year.  We are in need of a prize room restock.  Be on the lookout while you are out running errands for items.  You can place them in the bins located in the foyer for the next several weeks!  Thanks for your help!

Open Prayer Time – Every Thursday, the church will be open from 9 AM to 1 PM for an open time of prayer.  We encourage you to stop in whenever you’d like during this time on Thursdays to pray for your family, our nation, the church or whatever is on your heart.
 
 
 
 
Giving Opportunity!
ICCM- International Child Care Ministries – Our church sponsors two children through ICCM.  If you would like to donate funds for this purpose, please earmark funds on your check or envelope in the offering.  We need to cover the next few months of sponsorship, which is $38/month for each child.  Any amount you can give is appreciated and will bless these children.  (See their pictures on the bulletin board!)
