THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS Thanks to each and every one of you! So many gave generously and prayed for Kids Bible Clubs! We had a great turn out on December 5th, despite the rainy weather. The HBJ celebration was an absolute success because we got the MAIN THING right! We had well over 40 decisions for Christ (YES!) and the Lord was honored with His Name loudly proclaimed! Thanks again for your support and generosity --- because God gave, we can give! Bess Clements
FROM JANET PORTER I LOVE OUR VOLUNTEERS! From Sunday morning to Wednesday night, our volunteers in the children’s department have been working hard to teach our kids how to live a life dedicated to glorifying God! I want to thank each person who has given of their time and energy to love on our families who are here Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights for AWANA. I am so grateful for those faithful volunteers who choose to serve every week to ensure that our kids know how much Jesus loves them. I also want to encourage our volunteers to keep serving. Our families and their children appreciate your dedication and help in raising kids who have a strong foundation in the Lord. Thank
You!

Our women will engage in a study by Jennie Allen entitled, "Proven" and will be lead by Caroline Singletary. This study focuses on the Book of John and will help us believe and know that Jesus is enough. The ladies will meet at the Coffee Corner. Our men will engage in a study by Johnny Hunt entitled “Demolishing Strongholds.” This study will help men to become men of God as they have to deal with their day-to-day trials and temptations.
