Overview of the Bible: A New Bible Study


  1. I will be leading a new Wednesday Night Bible Study starting the second week of July. It starts at 5:00 and is followed by a small dinner and then Vespers.
What do we have to gain from those long Old Testament sections on the law? What about all that history? What can we learn from Paul's letters to the church in the New Testament? By introducing each of the major sections of Scripture, this guide helps us gain perspective on the whole message of God's Word.

Food Pantry

Wow, what an exciting morning at the Food Pantry.

There were so many people here! Church members (including six youth/children) and volunteers, and then, we guestimate, over 100 customers to the pantry--a lot of them new ones.

If you have not come and helped out, I really encourage you to do so.

Fish Fry and Silent Auction

Hey Folks!



Here are some pictures from Sunday Night's Fish Fry! A wonderful occasion. A big thank you to Bruce Maghan for fryin' up the catfish and Brandy Meenink for organizing the Silent Auction. I believe we raised about $2,000 for the Building fund from the auction and the rummage sale on Saturday.

I am now able to post my sermons on the web. Here is this weeks: The Joy of Children.

Chris' Family???


Some questions have been asked about my relatives.... Maybe this will clear the matter up a little?

Hey Folks!


The Rummage Sale today was excellent! We made over $1,000 on the day for the building fund. Brandy and Dick Meenink, Jo Talbot, Kitty Ely, Joyce Chivers, Dick Poole, and many, many more folks worked very hard on this event.
Make sure you're around for tomorrow's Catfish Fry at 4:00.
