Spaghetti Supper

Thank you to all who helped with the Benefit supper for our coming Honduras trip! And thank you to all of our guests! It was a lovely evening for a lovely cause; thank you!

Walk a Mile 2012

After a balmy and warm winter, we were hit with a bitter cold day for the Muncie Mission Walk a Mile In My Shoes! But that's okay! We all got a chilling dose of what is reality and common for the homeless of our community. Thank you so much to our walkers and supporters! Pastor Raines and the Muncie Mission are doing such vital work; they are so worthy of our support.


This is about half of our group; sorry we didn't get there early enough for a true group shot everybody! Next year we will for sure.





The top giving church this year was at $1,600, and we were at about $1,050 ....we're excited to aim for being the top givers next year! Thank you again to all who gave!

New Ushers?

Thank you to our youth group for being our ushers this past Sunday!  And thank you to the ushers who took them under their wing!  (Don Poland, Kenny Love, etc.)  It's such a blessing to incorporate our young people into our worship, on all levels.....and they did a wonderful job!

 And thank you to Wesley Crouch for his sax solo; wonderful as always!  God is truly working in our young people; let's continue to lift them in our prayers!!

Craft Nights

Back by popular demand, Craft Nights resume this Thursday at 7pm!  :)  If you have a craft you're working on, you can bring that, or simply come to visit!  We'll be in the fireplace room and will start the fire up if it's cold outside.  Join us, we'd love to have you!

The E100 Challenge

The E100 Challenge has begun! The Bible in its entirety can and is extremely overwhelming, and yet, we so often let this deter us from reading God's very letter to us. Through God's word, we meet with him and connect with him, learning about what is, what was, and what's coming. I like to get a hot cup of coffee, sit, and quietly savor all that God is saying to me for the day. (Especially when it's snowing!)

There are so many reasons to be excited about God, His word, and this opportunity to read together as a family. This morning, Lydia read our first passage to us! What a gift that was, and I realized how important it is to incorporate the whole family on this journey that takes us through 100 key passages. In the thick of all of the tiny, tiny words on the pages, is the broader, most romantic, beautiful, and jaw-dropping story of a God who SO loved his children! That he joined us.....and saved us. And now we, have the honor of serving him. This is our reality, this is the story of the world, and we really can be excited and humbled to our knees at the awesomeness of it all.

This week we're reading about the beginning! We're reading the first 5 readings, and if you didn't get your punch card....here are the readings so you can't dodge it! ;)
Gen 1:1-2:25
Gen. 3:1-24
Gen 6:5-7:24
Gen 8:1-9:17
Gen 11:1-9

Without Genesis, the story is not complete, the Bible is not whole and the need for a savior would not make sense. Read, and take it all in.

Welcome to week one!

Happy New Year!

Last year Pastor Andy prayed that we'd all fall more deeply in love with Jesus Christ in 2011. Our prayer is the same for 2012! May Jesus be our first thought each morning, our last thought at night, and our constant guide in between. May 2012 be a year of courage, strength, peace, and may all of 2012 be HIS and for his glory! May he become greater and we become less! Happy New Year!! ♥ ♥ ♥

Lynd House

Today has been a very full day for our church family!  We had the Norseman Singers from Eaton Elementary come over and sing for us, Keenagers had their holiday luncheon, and in the afternoon a few went to sing to the residents of Lynd House.  And festivities continue as the women gather tonight to celebrate Florentina and her recent citizenship! 

 (We had one snoozer.)

Praise God, for all that He has done, is doing, and will do!
