UPCOMING:

 

Prayer

Brad and Mindi Schrock would appreciate prayers for their daughters’ surgeries and medical appointments in Columbus. Both Natalie (bladder) and Brielle (dental) have surgery on Monday and  other appointments on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Praises

Laban Miller’s surgery was successful and we thank God for all He has done through this battle.

Revive Grant County- We are thrilled that there have been quite a few encounters in Marion and the surrounding towns that have led to people coming to Christ and being baptized. We will get the compiled numbers to you at a later time but let’s rejoice with heaven on these things! Glory!

 With the proceeds from this year’s Bazaar we were able to bless Bible Memory Ministries and The Window with $278 each.

 

RETA Giving Tree

RETA is a local pregnancy/family resource ministry. During the Christmas season RETA offers ways for those enrolled in their programs to earn extra coupons to “purchase” free Christmas gifts for their families in RETA’s Family Store. You can help make this possible by taking a paper ornament from the RETA Giving Tree, purchasing the item listed on the ornament, then bringing the gift (new and unwrapped) to the church and place under the tree by Sunday, November 24. Contact person: Cheryl Kiser, 574-238-4693.

 

Christmas Song & Celebration

On December 15th at 6 pm we will have a night of singing Christmas Carols and would invite individuals, couples, families or groups to sing a selection, do a skit, or recite a poem. If you would like to participate with a recital you may contact either Pastor Rick or Mitch. Please plan to attend a night together with expressions of adoration to our Savior Jesus.
