FIFTH SUNDAY IS SPECIAL! Mark your calendars: January 31st is a Fifth Sunday, so there will be only one worship service at 11 am, followed by lunch in the Fellowship Hall with a very special speaker. The prayer Groups are excited to present Kip Moore and his son, Chance. Kip is the author of the book Second Chance: The Story of a Father's Faith, a Mother's Strength and a Child's Will to Live, which tells the story of his family as they faced the possibility of loosing 18-month old Chance to a grave, food-borne illness. Kip's story is a heartwarming testament to the power of prayer and the possibility of miracle in the life of an ordinary man. The church will provide meat, drinks & tableware; everyone is asked to bring a dish to share.
