Remember
to bring your food donations that will go to the Salvation
Army.
All
ladies and girls are invited to a baby shower
for Rachel King on Tuesday, Jan. 26 at 6:00 PM in the fellowship hall. We ask that in addition to, or in place of a
gift, you bring your favorite children’s book for baby King. Rachel is registered at BabiesRUs and Wal-Mart. Gifts are suggested to be gender neutral
since that part is a surprise!

will be asked to mark all names of persons you feel have the gifts to serve as
an Elder. Please be in prayer about this
process.
