MISSION OUTREACH PROJECT

There will be a trip to Sister Jean's Kitchen on January 29th. Everyone will meet at the church at 10:30 AM. Heavy clothing and blankets are needed. Call the church office for more details. "And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."

Annual Report

(yes, it's that time again!)

All Annual Reports from the church boards and committees need to be in the office by January 6th. This is to give the secretary time to assemble the books for distribution before the Annual Meeting on January 27th.

New to our Church

We extend a warm welcome to Susan Muracco, who joins our membership on December 2nd. Susan has lived in the area for a while and has found a home with us at CIBC. When you see her, make sure you introduce yourself.

Church Work Day

     We will be planning a church "work day" some time in January. In order to spruce up our church, we need help from anyone who can spare some time. We need people to do the following:

Vacuuming

Wash woodwork, pews, etc.

Carpentry

Moving big pieces of furniture

Moving small pieces of furniture

Washing floors

Organizing

If you have any of these talents, and are willing to give an hour or two of your time, please plan to join us. A date and time will be announced soon.

Youth News

The BYF will be on a ski retreat from January 4th-6th. Please be in prayer for the youth and their leaders. The youth will be playing paintball at the Spriggs home on January 12th at 1:00. If you have questions, please contact John Spriggs at 463-5993.

 

REGULAR OFFERING ENVELOPES

Offering Envelopes will soon be available in the Church Foyer. Anyone who currently does not use Offering Envelopes and would like the, please see Bill Deamer. You do not have to be a church member to use the envelopes. You are encouraged to make use of them as they help ensure good record keeping.

Family Night Movie

On January 18th at 6:30 PM we will be having a family movie night. The movie is appropriate for all age groups and will appeal to everyone. There will be no dinner served, so eat before attending. For more information call Krista Guzman or Dianna and Jordan Spangler.

 

There are many opportunities to volunteer in the New Year. Please consider serving as a greeter, usher, teller, nursery attendant, or Sunday School teacher. Please contact George or Diane Cooper if you are interested in serving in any of these areas.
