Happy New Year!!
May this year be better than the last, and may you draw nearer to God through it!


What's Exciting

We are still catching up to the technology revolution.  We now have an RSS feed for the MP3 recordings of the sermons!  To subscribe and be notified by your RSS reader when a new sermon is posted, click here.

We are pleased to announce that we are putting together another Baptism/New Members' class.  The class will be held during the Sunday School time.  We are planning on starting about the middle of February.  If you are interested in pursuing the meaning of baptism or membership in this congregation, or just want to hang out with us and learn a little more about it, please let us know!

We are a host site for Angel Food Ministries!  The menu and online ordering are available here. The ordering deadline is usually the second Saturday of the month by 11 am.  The food may be picked up Saturday, two weeks later, by 10 am.  Due to holidays, ordering and pick-up dates are sometimes moved forward a week.  Please see the Schedule page for details for this month.
