Brother Grudzinski is interested in starting a prayer group with young men who want to pray for the pastor and the services each Sunday morning.  If you are interested, please meet by the Welcome Center Sunday mornings at 9:15 AM.

Those who would be burdened for our country and its drifting away from our Biblical World View are invited to meet on Wednesday evenings after the service.  Pastor Sherman and Pastor Johnson will be leading a "Pray For America" prayer meeting on a weekly basis during this critical time in our nation's history.

We will be doing the Easter Flower Garden again this year.  If you would like to purchase flowers in Memory Of or in Honor Of of someone special to you, you may sign up starting today (February 21) at the table in the foyer.  There are forms to fill out and return with the correct amount  to the table in the foyer by March 14th.  Your plant(s) may be taken home following the morning or evening service on Easter.

Erik McKay has an excellent opportunity to take five young men to see West Coast Baptist College and Golden State Baptist College.  The future is important for these young men.  In order to go they need to raise funds to help with the costs of the trip.  If you have any work around your house, Erik has five young men that are available for hire.  Please contact Erik and he will work out a time!  Thanks for all your support, and if you have no work, they would appreciate your prayers.

On behalf of myself and all the folks from our Spanish ministry, we would like to say thank you for participating in our buffet fundraiser.  We hope you enjoyed the meal and once again, thank you.
