In Children’s Church (3-K) through December…
God knew that the world needed a Savior, so he sent someone very special to earth—his one and only Son! Jesus wants to
melt away the iciness inside us so we can be his friend forever!

Dear Church Family. Thank You! - each and everyone - for your part in making my 80th birthday bash such a memorable event! I had so much fun I think I'll go for another 80th! Special thanks to my wife, Kathy, and my daughters, Melanie, Judy, Susie and Amy, for making and accomplishing all the arrangements in grand style, and The Spokesmen Quartet for taking time out of their busy schedules to have a little fun and reminisce a little. I'm still in awe of the number of people that turned out - I was expecting a couple dozen or so. But the biggest thing? I am encouraged by the love and support you showered on me and I thank you - and God - for that. As many of you know, I didn't accept Jesus until I was 52 years old. While living the Christian life isn't without problems, it's an awful lot easier to beat them with Him on my side! Jesus loves YOU! and so do I. Bill Raine
