Wednesday Evening Bible Study – We will meet in the Good Shepherd Class Room for a "gathering time" at 6:15 PM and begin our study at 6:30 to conclude at 7:30. Please use the "Alley" entrance (there is plenty of parking in the lot there behind the church). Remember to bring your Bible and read over the parables of Luke 15. We look forward to seeing you this Wednesday.

We are collecting old eye glasses and magnifier glasses (cheaters) for Dr. Jeffrey Rice's next mission trip to Guatemala. If you can help please drop the glasses off at the office or give them to Ed Reich. Thank you!

Update on Soup sale: The Souper Bowl soup sale was a great success thanks to all of you. You helped in the raising of $675.60 for the Haiti earthquakes victims. Pray that this money will meet the needs that draw them to a relationship with Jesus and that He above all, will be glorified.

Membership & Confirmation – Several of you have expressed interest in joining First United Methodist Church and we would like to spend a few sessions together to review and discuss the meaning and benefits of membership. Please let the Pastor know of your interest.
