This Sunday, January 29th, we will continue with our annual celebration "Gratitude for Grace!" We would like our members to consider prayerfully a special gift as we continue to address our budget shortfall. It is one way to respond to our God for all that he has done for us - from rescuing us from sin to remaining with us in Life. You have included with your offering envelopes a special envelope marked "Gratitude for Grace." This is also the date of our annual meeting, which will follow our special worship service. A light lunch will be served. If you are able, please bring a dessert to pass.
