Who knows, you might just need to look in your own closet for an ugly sweater. Prizes will be awarded...like possibly a fashion makeover! Mark those calendars and watch for more details to come. Oh...Have a Blessed Thanksgiving!

GOOD JOB YOUTH FOR LEADING US IN WORSHIP THIS PAST SUNDAY!!

Kudos to all those amazing youth who led us in worship this past Sunday! It was great seeing the drama in Sunday Morning Celebration. Encore! Encore. Everyone knew we had some major hams...this just proved it. Also great work as usually behind the sound & light board (our crazy techies). I owe you for that ugly sweater visual... All you praise band folks are such a blessings. And didn't O.V.C. and Youth Hand Bells do a good job in both our services? Keep up the good work and keep sharing those talents! Remember...they came from God!
