Roofing Project!

Coming in well under budget and completed within one week's time, the new roof on the education building is finished and it looks fantastic. As a dedicated group of volunteers, church members gathered to demolish the old roof, and lay the new one, while others prepared snacks, lunches and beverages for the laborers. Despite the pouring rain, there was much laughter and fellowship accompanying the work, until it was completed.

Sincere thanks goes out to everyone who was involved, who took time off work, and gave of themselves to make our place of worship more functional and attractive. You are a blessing!

Mother's Day!

Blessings for a beautiful Mother's Day!

"My son, keep your father’s commandment, and forsake not your mother’s teaching. Bind them on your heart always; tie them around your neck. When you walk, they will lead you; when you lie down they will watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk with you." Proverbs 6:20-22

Ministry Fair SUCCESS!!!

The 2010 Ministry Fair was beautifully laid out and amazingly successful. The ministry booths were informative and well represented, and everything from fliers, to pamphlets, business cards and candy was available to spread the word about how each ministry performs and how individuals could be a part of it. A great deal of time and preparation went into the set up of each booth, and we would like to offer sincere thanks to everyone who participated and devoted their efforts to making this event a great success.

A Ministry Fair!

This Sunday, April 25 following the morning worship service, we will be hosting our first Ministry Fair.

NW Baptist Student Conference!

YOUTH!!!!!!!!

On April 30-May 1, 2010 Northwest Baptist youth, friends, and youth leaders will gather for the annual NWBC Student Conference. This event for junior and senior high youth and sponsors will be held at Crossroads Community Church in Vancouver, Washington. The theme this year is “Roots”. The theme verse is Colossians 2:6-7. Be sure to check the church bulletin for additional information and notify Pastor Mike if you're interested in attending. Cost is $70 per student. It's going to be GREAT!!!

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!
