Rock & Worship Road Show!

The 2010 Rock & Worship Road Show was outstanding!!! Even the 45 minute wait in the drizzling rain couldn't dampen the spirits of Jon, Mikela, Nick, Bailey, Coralyn, and Lynsey, who I'm proud to say were exemplary models of Christ before, during and after the show. I was a little unsure what to expect since this was my first Road Show concert and I had heard some of the bands were pretty wild. However, I was pleasantly surprised when each band gave the glory to God before the performance and we were able to experience a great evening of music, worship and praise!

The most memorable band for me was definitely Mercy Me. Not only were the band members decked out in suits, their music, lyrics and performance made it evident they serve the One True God. As the concert drew to a close, Mercy Me left the stage while the audience was still singing. While some people were skeptical of this approach, I'm convinced they did it that way so that when everything was finished, all the glory would go to God instead of the band. AWESOME!

Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth; Break forth in song, rejoice, and sing praises. Psalm 98:4

Another Bunco Night!

March saw another Women's Ministry Bunco Event. About 30 women were in attendance for a taco bar, cake, games and fellowship. If you missed it, don't worry, there will be more. Until then, enjoy the photos!


Kasey, Lucy, Becky and Ginger were great sports for 'posing' for these photos!

Greeters!

They do more than smile and hand out bulletins on Sunday mornings. They ensure pens and offering envelopes line the backs of the pews, they count the number of worshipers in service, they lock doors, pick up trash, sweep the sidewalks, assist people to and from their vehicles and the list goes on. We're talking about the greeters. Week after week they perform an invaluable service for our congregation, all the while serving our Lord and Savior. So thank you:

Dave O.

Jeff W.

Your dedication is noticed, and you are greatly appreciated! "Serve one another in love." Galatians 5:13b

Brown Bag Bunco!

"One of the funnest things I've ever done." That's what Annie W. thought of the most recent Women's Ministry event "Brown Bag Bunco." Nearly 30 women comprising church members and friends showed up with brown bags containing a regiftable item to be exchanged white elephant style at the event. Everything from gag gifts to adorable and fun trinkets were brought out to incite laughter and be fawned over. Prizes were awarded for the highest score, the lowest score and of course the most Buncos overall.

While the ladies snacked on home made goodies and enjoyed each others company the afternoon passed much too quickly. If you missed out, don't feel bad, the women had such a great time it was decided it should be repeated.....often. Watch the church website for upcoming Bunco games!
