Sunday Morning Nursery Need Did you know that since September, seven new precious babies have been born to our church families? Did you know that our Trotter children are taught a short lesson of God’s truth in the Nursery each week? Both of these Nursery rooms (Infants and Trotters) are in current need of extra adult caring hands, loving laps, and willing servants to point their hearts to Jesus. Will you consider serving in our Nursery in the second service, once per month? Please contact Jill Yowell for this great opportunity! Sunday Morning Preschool Need If you have a heart to teach little children about Jesus, our preschool department is in need of one teacher for 2 year olds during the second hour through June. Please prayerfully consider this need. The blessings are out of this world. Contact Marcia Guggisberg in the church office. ______________________________________________ Student Ministries ”Passion 2012 was an outstanding experience. I am so thankful to have been able to go. The fellowship was great, the worship was powerful, and the preaching was insightful. I have been reading through the first several books of the Old Testament recently and that’s what I was thinking of at Passion. When I got home I felt very encouraged and nourished on the word. God is good!” Right after we returned from Passion, the college ministry took a turn for the best! This semester we have begun a study on the Evangelical Free Church’s Statement of Faith, asking the questions “What do we believe?” and “Where stands it written in the Scripture?” While I am excited to go through that with the college students, I am more excited for the structure of our weekly meeting and the vision of our group. Our vision: to be disciples that make disciples! Our weekly meetings have transitioned from a large group setting primarily geared toward fellowship, to a small group setting that is primarily geared toward being deeply invested in one another while encouraging growth and discipleship among groups. These groups (called Discipleship groups) have already started to grow as members are bringing friends and visitors are hearing about our ministry! Here is another student’s take on the ministry: (read full article here) ______________________________________________ Women's Ministries
