Just in case you haven't heard....we are doing a new church directory! It has been five years since we had one published and since that time there has been a lot of growth! Growth in church families, growth in families (new babies). Everyone is welcome to get a portrait made. By participating and getting your portrait made for the directory, you get a free 8X10 family portrait and a church directory. Additional pictures will be available for purchase, but there is no pressure to get any extra photos. The portrait dates are March 5,6 & 7. There is a table set up by the water fountain Sunday mornings for you to make an appointment. You may also contact Danell or Joyce for an appointment. We hope you will be a part of the new directory!

Sermon Recap
Our church has been blessed and encouraged by the recent sermon series "How To Thrive In Lean Times." Recently we heard some practical applications on steps to take during lean or troublesome times.
1. Make an accurate assesment of the situation: Take an honest look at the facts of the situation and evaluate it.
2. Cast a vision for succes: After an assessment of the situation, here are some next steps to take:
a. Wait: Make no decisions without prayer. Don't jump off into any action.
b. Pray: Do nothing before you pray and ask for God's direction in the situation.
c. Start where you are: Don't wait for better circumstances to occur before action, take steps from where you are.
d. Seize the moment: After prayer and a willingness to move forward, expect an open door and be ready to move through it.
3. Be an encourager: Talk upbeat and positive, encourage others around you. Speak like a winner - you are on God's team.
4. Stay the Course: Keep your focus on God.
5. Work hard: Everything takes effort, work hard and get the job done.

Sad News...
There is sadness today through our church family as we learned Joe G. passed away last night. Mr. Joe courageously battled illness for many years and his wife Betty was right beside him ministering to his every need through his struggle. We take comfort in the fact that he is no longer suffering, but we know his presence will be missed deeply. Please keep Sis. Betty and the sons James and Darrell in your prayers for God's comfort.
Details about the arrangements will be shared as soon as they become available.
