12th Annual Thanksgiving Dinner!

 

Annual Covered Dish Dinner on Dawson Creek

Tonight we enjoyed another fabulous gathering at the Halls' home -- perfect, glorious weather,

wonderful food, fun games, great conversations and fellowship.

What an exceptional evening!

We all stayed until it began to grow dark.

Many thanks to the Halls for their wonderful hospitality!

Happenings in Recent Months

This past week many of our church folks gathered at Gary's Seafood 

for a delicious lunch together and great fellowship!

On Saturday, a very welcoming baby shower was given for a granddaughter of our church and her new husband, as they await their new baby.

Even gathering at the church to clean the kitchen and bathrooms can turn into a party! Look at those smiles.

Pastor Adam Christiansen was the narrator for the Oriental live nativity in December.

Thanksgiving Day, many friends in the community gathered in the fellowship hall for our annual Thanksgiving Dinner, always a wonderful time with amazing food.

The Community 5th Sunday Sing in the autumn was a great event! So many churches participated, the music was excellent, and the fellowship was so heart-warming!

 

Fellowship Pot-Luck Supper

 Tonight is our monthly fellowship supper.

This time ... it's Italian night!

Bring an Italian dish, or really any dish you like,

and join us!

Adam is baking foccacia and slow-cooking

Italian sausage, peppers, and onions.

Afterward we play a game or two and laugh until the sunset tells us

it's time to drive home.

You are very welcome to come!

Come to Worship; Come to Peace

Are you feeling anxious? Afraid? Depressed? Find peace in worship. These words were posted today:

 "We know there is danger but unlike being washed by fear while listening to the siren in the middle of the night alone in our beds, being together in worship and prayer fills our hearts with peace that surpasses understanding." 

- pastor's wife in Kyiv, about their worship this morning

"The Lord is near; 

 do not be anxious about anything, 

but in everything by prayer and supplication

 with thanksgiving

 let your requests be made known to God. 

 And the peace of God,

 which surpasses all understanding, 

will guard your hearts and your minds 

in Christ Jesus."

Phil. 4:5-7
