| Faith Formation Ministry
One Family Bible Class This week we study Luke 10:1-24 where Jesus sends out the 72. God chose the 72 to serve Him for a special task. God places us in various callings, giving us opportunities to serve Him and share our faith with others. God in His mercy uses all vocations to meet the needs of the world. In His Son, Jesus, He provides for my spiritual needs through pastors, Christian parents, and others, and He equips me to share His love with others.
Stewardship Sentence  Acts 2:1 "When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place." Notice that Pentecost is actually an Old Testament festival: it happens around the time when the wheat and oats are ready to be brought in. In the New Testament this becomes a picture and foreshadowing of the great harvest of humankind that God means to bring in through the preaching of His Word. God gives the seed, and God brings about the harvest - through the work of His Church.

Calling All Crafters! We will be hosting another craft fair this fall on Saturday, October 15, 2016 from 9 A.M. to 2 P.M All kinds of crafts are needed to make the fair a success.
