Finally there are need-based scholarships available that can cover up to the entire cost of camp. Applications for these scholarships are available in the church office or on the Eagle Lake table in the coffee area.
Allergy Notice
Due to severe peanut allergies in our congregation, we can absolutely have NO peanut products in our building. This applies to any day of the week and for any activity you may be attending in our building.
We have attendees with fragrance allergies. We have designated the first six rows of the left section of our sanctuary (as you look at the stage) for them. If you wear fragrances, we would appreciate you avoiding that area.

Thank you so much for the cards, meals, help and prayers that were given to me while I healed from my broken elbow in January. I couldn’t have taken care of twins without all of you! We truly appreciate everyone who gave us the gift of time and spent so many hours at our house. Luke & Kay Pucket
Adult Sunday School Classes
New classes start March 4.
Jim Power in the Fellowship Hall
The Gospel of Mark.
In his gospel, Mark gives us his Spirit-inspired perspective of Jesus' ministry. Mark both models for us what it means to know Jesus and what it looks like for others when God is known.
Terry Preheim in Room 109
How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth.
We only know God as well as we know his word. This class aims to improve our ability to understand the glorious riches of God's mind revealed in the pages of a book, so that we might better know God and be more ready to make him known.
Mike Austin in Room 106
College & 20’s Class with Mike over the book of Romans.
This class is for college students and young adults who are in the early stages of their professions. The class will start with a round circle group discussion of the Sunday morning sermon. Next, we will look at the book of Romans following the preaching schedule of Pastor Randy’s archived sermons. The last part of the class will be an analysis of a selection from CS Lewis.
