To reveal Secret Sisters, have a sis? Bring her a small gift. Need a sis?
Bring a small gift to share with someone else who needs a sis too.
 
A small group for women who aren’t young anymore, but aren’t old yet either!...at least, we don’t feel like it. 
Oreos are the sweet stuff in the middle! 
 
 
SMALL GROUPS FORMING!
Belonging to a small group isn’t an option…
it’s a necessity in developing our faith!
Plus…it’s fun!
We have groups for writers and prayers, young dads and middler moms, senior women, and hungry men, missionaries and young adults, inquiring youth and rambunctious children!
Don’t see a group that tickles your fancy? 
Start one! Simply stop in the office or email with your idea and we’ll resource you with all you’ll need to get it off and running.
 
 
Do You Knit, crochet or quilt?
We're running low on prayer shawls. This awesome ministry reminds people who are recovering, in pain, or celebrating new life, that God is right there with them. If you could make a shawl, please drop it off in the office to have a prayer card attached before giving it to men, women and children in need. Thank You!!

PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY We are currently looking for individuals interested in making prayer shawls for those facing a crisis, in need of surgery, lost a loved one, dealing with an illness, etc. We have several donations of yarn, and there is no certain pattern to follow. You can make them any size, any color. Please contact coordinator, Joyce Hubbard 524-8341 if you're interested in making a gift that will touch the lives of many. If you know of someone in need of being covered in prayer, simply see Pastor Melany, fill out the registration book, and take a prayed-over shawl to your loved one in need.
