Evangelism

Desert View Senior Living      We will present our Christmas Program to the residents on Saturday, December 16 from 10:00 - 11:00. We will sing Christmas carols and hymns and have song sheets for them so they can sing along.  We'll talk about the miracle of that very first Christmas when Jesus Christ was born.  We will give them the gospel as well as Christmas cards and gospel booklets. 

Child Haven    Renetta has us scheduled for Saturday, January 20th, from 10:00 am - Noon to have Bible Time with the elementary age children.  We will have two separate classes, one for the girls and one for the boys. 

Missions

Operation Bible Drop is having great opportunities in providing the LPB to be used in many different ministries in Africa.
