We have volunteered for our local jail ministry in the past and have been asked if we would cover this September & October. This ministry is still every Tuesday. The women meet from 6 - 7 pm and the men meet from 8 - 9 pm. We need at least 2 women and 2 men for each session. A few have already volunteered to help and we need a few more. I will gladly answer your questions and/or meet with you to offer guidance in this needed ministry.
Blessings,

There is usually enough meat donated to feed these families each month during the season plus one additional month. The Mills County Ministerial Association (MA) is inviting hunters to donate the deer that they harvest to feed the hungry.

What Are Your Spiritual Gifts?
Are you interested in modern technology? Are you intrigued by new gadgets? Do you love working on computer programs? Then we've got a deal for you! The Technology Team is currently seeking volunteers to help run sound during church and on special occasions. You would not be responsible for running sound every week -- more on a rotating basis. The important thing is we get people trained so that when the holidays' hustle and bustle busy schedule rolls around, we will have plenty of help to call on if necessary. We will train you to run the soundboard, work on Pro Presenter 7 (the program that displays our slides used during worship services), and the video camera. If you are interested in any or all of these, please contact Laura Wilson at 325-451-4848 to discuss. We would love to have everybody's help!!!
We would like to welcome anyone interested to join our handbell choir.
No musical experience is required. We will teach you what you need to know. There is something extremely satisfying about ringing, as a member of the choir you are a link in a beautiful musical chain. If you have questions or any interest please call Ginger Spies at 325-451-4225 or email gingerspies@gmail.com.
