Page 2 From the Pastor It is hard to find services any more special than this past Sunday. Our morning service began with Gus Reisner being baptized and ended with Jovon Lorenzo doing the same. In between, we were blessed to welcome Kevin & Elizabeth Little to our fellowship. That is not all of the good news though! After our discipleship classes, we had a great time with our Wrap and Pack Party. We organized, wrapped, and packed gifts for our 5 missionary families serving in Africa, India, and Alaska. We had a great time of fellowship and heard from Angela and Jeremy Newton. Then we heard from Shelbe and Connor Inskeep. Thank you to everyone who participated, purchased gifts, wrapped presents, and brought finger foods. It was a tremendous blessing! I hope you are ready for Funfest this Friday night beginning at 6:00 pm. The hotdogs have been ordered. The inflatables are on their way. We know several have signed up for trunks to hand out treats. Be in your place as we welcome our neighborhood to come have some fun!
