Thank you - The church trustees, fellowship hall trustees and Ali want to sincerely thank each one who helped with the church and fellowship hall cleaning this week. It was a blessing to work together to care for our church buildings. May God be glorified.

Small Group Gatherings - We would like to encourage everyone to get involved in our small group get togethers. There are only 2 a year and it's a great way to build relationships and get to know others from our church. Singles, married, older and younger, all are welcome including children! Regardless if you have participated in the past, you must sign up every year. Please sign up on the bulletin board at church or contact Jessica Beer nealandjess@yahoo.com by March 24th.

Berean Prison Ministry Bible Studies - There are some new Berean Prison Ministry Bible Studies ready to be graded. They are in the North hall.

After Good Friday service, Singing/Ice Cream Social - Following the Good Friday services, there will be a singing/ice cream social at the fellowship hall, as has been done in the past few years. We've had great turn outs, and it's truly been a blessing. All are welcome. 

Young Group Change in Organization - The young group will now consist of two sub groups given the large number of converts and young members in this age group and the need to address different spiritual needs for different age groups.  The older group (ages 20 and up) will be identified as SALT (Single Adults Living Truth) and the younger group (under 20) will be called LIGHT (Living In God's Holy Truth).  Bro. Sam and Sis. Marjorie will be leading the younger age group while the older group will be coordinating and planning events through their 5-member committee and remain under the oversight of Bro. Jonathan and Sis. Megan.  The two sub groups will be meeting twice monthly as separate groups and twice monthly as a full group.  Our hope is that this new structure will better serve the various age groups and help meet the spiritual needs of all of our young people.  We are thankful to God for His work in the lives of each and every one of our young adults.  If you have any questions please contact Bro. Jonathan.
