2006 PICTORIAL CHURCH DIRECTORY: Our church is going to publish a new pictorial directory. The photography dates are Thurs.-Fri., Feb. 23-24 ( 3 -9 pm) and Sat., Feb. 25 (10 am-4 pm). Reserve your appointment time this Sunday, Jan. 22, (and the next 3 Sundays) during the coffee hour and after the 11:00 service, out on the patio. Sign up early to get your preferred time! You don’t have to be a church member to be a part of the directory. Each family/household that comes for photography and portrait viewing will receive a complimentary 8×10 custom color portrait and one free pictorial directory. You will be able to view and select your portraits electronically from a variety of poses. Your entire appointment will normally take less than one hour. We want to have everyone participate!!


SAVE THE DATE: Monday, January 30, we will be collating the CC Newsletter in the gym at the Community Center, beginning at 6:00 p.m. This simple act of service is a small way to extend the love of Jesus to our friends in the community. It takes about 30 minutes, but the more hands we have the faster the work will get done!!
