The Faithfully Fit are on their way to better health physically and spiritually. This week they passed the 100 pound mark of weight loss. But, most importantly, almost all of them achieved their spiritual goals. Overall, the Temples are slightly ahead of the Thumb Warriors. Check out the display in the fellowship hall for more details.

The dates have been set for the spring series of Grief Share. We will offer the Loss of Spouse event on Tuesday, February 14, at 6:00 pm.

Its the beginning of a new year and time to update your directory photo and any other information. Since we are transitioning out of Faithlife soon we have extended our Instant Church Directory to meet those needs for the next year. Please use the link to update your photo and other directory information. If you do not have the app please go to the app store or google play and download it. You can create your own account. Please contact the office for more details. An email was sent out to encourage everyone to make these changes. Please make your changes by Sunday, February 5th for the printed version. Thank you!
