6 Carlyle Callis December 30, 2012 Personal Notes: ******************************************************** With the year ending, it s a good time to clean out your church mailbox. You might find a wonderful Christmas greeting or two! If you don t have a box, please notify the office and we can take care of that. The Search Committee has met. The next meeting will be January 8. You are asked to stand along side Wes Johnson, Chris Lindquist, Amber Craft, Randy Nelson, Jeff Cueva, Brenda Strohschein, and Venus King as they meet and pray to follow God s guidance as He leads us to a new pastor.

7 Remember to pray for these Senior Adults; we miss them as they are unable to attend our church. Verona Aleshire Dixie Benge Lucille Cameron Margaret Harmon Norma Lowry Ruth Olsen A New Year is a great time to commit to a New Plan!! Announcing a new Sunday School class for the Young Adults. This would include those who are post high school, college students, and anyone under the age of 30 who is not married. This group will meet Sundays beginning January 6 at 9:30 to 10:30 am off site at Campfire Bay in the Fireside Room at the Lodge. It will be facilitated by Ken Noordmans and will be a true study of the Word...back to Scripture. This makes it very easy for you to jump in when you are here on a Sunday.
