This Sunday 2.27.11    Family Finances (Billy) This Sunday we will be looking into Proverbs 6:1-11 and learning some basic principles in finance.  We want to drive home one major point: "If your outflow exceeds your inflow you'll have woe" This is a lesson every family, parent and child needs to learn.  Our teachers will be Mr. Ant and Mr. Lazybones.  Hope you can join us this Sunday morning. _______________________________________ Sunday Night Feb 27 Chris continues his series on the church . . .The Way! Ethan Calvert returned this week from his mission trip in PNG.  Thousands of years after the birth of the church, it is still very much alive and sending out young people to tell the world about Christ.  Chris will focus on the ministry of the Holy Spirit tonight as it relates to the church.  This Sunday at   (6 PM). _______________________________________    Join us for a brand new sermon series starting in March. . .  many of the great truths of the Bible simply make no sense to the culture we live in and in the new series we want to present these truths in a way that will help understand the Biblical viewpoint of life and why it seems like “Madness” to our world.  Join us as we take a closer look at some of the important truths of the Christian Faith.
