POSSIBILLITIES Faith makes all things possible; it does not make them easy. (anonymous)

 

BIBLE SCHOOL We feel we got off to a very good start these past Sundays, Thanks to Donna Mumme and all of the teachers who made this possible. Thanks to parents and children for your cooperation. Let us work together to continue to improve.  

PLEASE NOTE - That we will have a class for 3 and 4 year olds in our Sunday morning Bible School Classes, all our children of that age are strongly encouraged to attend.

 

CHOOSE LIFE – In the Supreme Court’s recent decision upholding a ban on partial birth abortion, Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote for the majority: “While we find no reliable data to measure the phenomenon, it seems unexceptionable to conclude that some women come to regret their choice to abort the infant life they once created and sustained. Severe depression and loss of esteem can follow.” Given those stakes, “the state has an interest in ensuring so grave a choice is well informed.”
