The highlight of the life of our church during the month of March is usually the Chili Cook-Off.
This annual event is always a lot of fun! Currently, there are thirteen entries and we’re hoping for more.
The 18th Annual Chili Cook-Off is on Monday the 17th of March at 6 pm.
However, the Chili Cook-Off is not the highlight in the life of our church during March this year, it is Upward Sports!
This year we kick off our Upward Sports league with practices on March 10th and games beginning on March 22nd.
We will be offering both soccer and flag football with teams from kindergarten to 5th grade.
I am extremely excited about this opportunity to serve the young families in our church and community.
Volunteers are still needed to ensure this outreach succeeds. Coaches, referees, and concessions are among the areas where help is needed. You can sign up in the church foyer.
March is also the month we begin preparing for our annual Easter Resurrection Eggstravaganza.
This community event draws large crowds each year! Please keep an eye out for the volunteer sign-up list to appear on the bulletin board in the hallway of the church in the next few weeks.
Great things are happening in the Women’s Ministry in the church.
A Women’s Retreat is scheduled for March 7th and 8th at Clara Springs Camp and Conference Center in Pelican, LA. Also, a women’s Sunday night Bible study and dinner fellowship starts Sunday, March 2nd. There are nearly thirty women signed up. They will be studying Colossians chapter 3. There is a sign up in the hallway of the church.
- Men and Women’s Ministry – Discipleship
- Chili-Cook Off – Fellowship
- Community Outreach – Missions/Evangelism
Those are three of the five functions of the church. The other two are Prayer and Worship.
Please consider the above list, not as a calendar, but as a prayer list.
Without being covered in prayer none of these activities will accomplish their purpose.
Prayer…genuine, fervent, heartfelt prayer…will open doors we never imagined!
And offer a prayer of Thanksgiving for the worship that happens here each week.
We are beyond blessed with our Praise Team on Sundays and Luke and Rachel on Wednesdays.
God bless, Pastor Rob
