We are excited to announce that our church will be hosting 2 marriage/relationship seminars in the month of March.

We would like to invite you to the following dates at 6:30pm:
March 1st & March 15th!

These seminars have been proven helpful to those who have attended. Proof of this is the fact that the attendance has nearly doubled from January to February! We will be providing refreshments for all who come!

Our 8 Week Basic Bible Training is officially underway! Invite your friends and relatives this Sunday- it is GOSPEL SUNDAY! The Sunday School lesson and the morning message will be on the subject of salvation!

We would love to have you join us next time!

One day a 6 year old girl was sitting in the classroom.

The teacher was going to explain evolution to the children.

The teacher asked a little boy:

Teacher: Tommy do you see the tree out side?

Tommy: Yes.

Teacher: Tommy, do you see the grass out side?

Tommy: Yes.

Teacher: Go out side and look up and see if you can see the sky.

Tommy: OK. (He returned a few minutes later) Yes, I saw the sky.

Teacher: Did you see God?

Tommy: No.

Teacher: That's my point. We can't see God because he isn't there.

The little girl spoke up and wanted to ask the boy some questions. Teacher agreed and she asked the boy:

Little Girl: Tommy, do you see the tree outside?

Tommy: Yes.

Little girl: Tommy do you see the grass outside?

Tommy: Yessssss (getting tired of the questions by this time)

Little girl: Did you see the sky?

Tommy: Yessssss

Little Girl: Tommy, do you see the teacher?

Tommy: Yes

Little Girl: Do you see her brain?

Tommy: No

Little Girl: Does that mean she doesn't have one?

Then, last night, we kicked off our Home on the Rock marriage seminar with Pastor and Mrs. Eddy and had a good number there as well! We still have several more family Bibles and gift certificates left from last week, so if you are a first time couple and maybe couldn't make it last Sunday, stop by this Sunday and see us and we'll get you a new Bible and a gift certificate to Italian Express of Macomb!

Please keep Donna Thurman (Pastor Eddy's mother) in your prayers as she is in ICU in Peoria. She is improving but has a very long way to go.
