The Faithfully Fit accountability group is off to a good start. We are welcoming several new people this year. It's not too late to join if you like. Turn in your goals and the report for the work you have accomplished as you work toward better physical, emotional, and spiritual health. See Marie for more information.


You are invited to attend the Harvest Offering disbursement meeting on Tuesday, January 13th at 7 pm. Thank you for being so generous!! Our total was, $180,406.


Let's continue to bless Pastor Dave and family by providing meals for them. The meal schedule has been extended and there are two dates available.


Annual Celebration Postponed: An assisted living apartment has come available for Pastor Dave's parents in Lima, Ohio. As such, he will be moving them in next weekend and be unavailable for the annual celebration on the 18th. Because of this, the annual celebration has been moved to February 1st. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. A potluck will follow the celebration.


Looking ahead to next month to be able to print an updated directory. Everyone, please look at your profile picture. Many are generic and it would be helpful to see your smiling face. Send photos and updated info to secretary@pigeonriverchurch.com before January 24th. Thank you!


Please join us for a new Women's Bible study starting February 4th. We will meet for eight Wednesdays from 9:00 - 10:30 in the conference room. This study will use the book Dwell on These Things and will help you memorize scripture through video teaching and personal study. Here is a link to order your book Please contact Phyllis Yoder if you have any questions.
