Monthly Capital Campaign – The January capital campaign is for the Choices Clinic. Choices Clinic and Life Resource Center is a Christian ministry dedicated to preserving the value of human life by providing abortion alternatives, practical assistance, and education to the Cross Timbers area. All services are free and include pregnancy testing, STI testing and treatment, and a limited ultrasound. Additionally, Choices offers classes on prenatal health, infant care, parenting, healthy relationships, Bible classes, and life skills. Material assistance is offered to those who take classes at Choices. Find more about this ministry at http://choicesclinic.net/. There will be a representative who will come to share more about Choices on one Sunday this month, and we will take the offering on January 25th.

New Online Giving Option – We are pleased to announce that we will now be utilizing Tithe.ly as an option for online giving.

Nursery Announcement – The worship committee would like to remind everyone that only children aged 4 and under are recommended to be dropped off in the nursery for morning worship services. This will help with congestion in the nursery due to there being a lot of 0-to 4-year-old kids in there. They are also working on some extra activities that the preschool-aged kids can work on during the church hour to allow the babies and toddlers to move around and play.

 

2026 Education Classes – We would love for you to join us in the new year in one of our many Bible study classes to fellowship while furthering our knowledge of the Bible. Sunday school classes have begun and meet after worship every Sunday, with classes for Pre-K to high school. Wednesday family night classes meet every Wednesday night at 6:00 with dinner followed by Bible study classes for all ages. The adults are continuing their study of the book of Matthew. Ladies Coffee Break is every Thursday at 9:30am they are doing a Life Guide study on Listening to God. We also have a college-age Bible study that meets on the 1st Thursday of every month at Bert & Heidi’s house. Dinner begins at 6:30 followed by a Bible study.

Valentine's Fellowship Dinner - Our annual Valentine's fellowship dinner is coming up! Keep an eye on the bulletin for the date and time.
