Involvement - Missional Style
Missional living is defined as being “missionaries” in today’s culture. Missionaries are those whose lives are constituted by a mission: to know God and make Him known. Our on-going relationship with God should result in a lifestyle that is God centered and seeks to incarnate God.
CHURCHWIDE MISSIONAL OPPORTUNITIES will be published in the Western Recorder which includes the church's newsletter "The Good News". Be involved, develop your Missional style.
FRIEND’S WOM PRAYER GROUP
WHO’S MISSING? WHOSE MISSION?
Reaching the world with the gospel is like a jigsaw puzzle, but with half the pieces missing. We will get an early start on International Mission Week of Prayer. We will watch a CD of our Missionaries and pray for them. ALL ladies of the church is invited to come and help us pray for our missionaries, who are giving their lives to help reach the world for Christ. Can you give an hour or two to pray for them?

- Baby Chicks for $14: When full grown, chickens or ducks can produce eggs, plenty to eat, share or sell.
