But we have depleted our stash of Christmas fabric. 1 yard of fabric makes 2 bags. Anyone wishing to help out can donate in one of two ways: 1. Buy fabric and bring it to the church office. 2. Give a monetary donation designated for Stashbusters/Prison ministry.

D-Now Weekend: RESET February 16-18

Cost is $50 for the first student and $40 for the second and third student. This year will be a call to RESET– to refocus our hearts, repent and return to the Lord, and (re-) discover the joy of our salvation. As always, the heart of the weekend will be our relationships with the Lord and with each other; in pursuit of those ends this year, we will be teaching spiritual disciplines and setting aside time for students to practice them. Don’t miss out!

Register online for the weekend by following this link.

Ladies’ Book Club Tuesday, February 13 at 9:30am Our book for February will be “Martin Luther: The Man Who Rediscovered God and Changed the World” by Eric Metaxas. We will meet at the home of Sydney Bailey.
