The decision was made to cancel the Wednesday night events tonight (January 6, 2010) due to the incoming snow storm. This includes the youth service, Royal Rangers, the Mpact Girls Club (Missionettes), the adult prayer service, and the taking down of Christmas decorations.

We are concerned about the probability of accumulating snow fall during the service making drives home potentially treacherous (especially for inexperienced drivers). We have elected to err on the side of safety.

For all that are interested and available to help, we will now be taking down the Christmas decorations on Saturday morning at 10 AM. It will only take about one hour.

The following is our Thanksgiving weekend schedule.

We will not be having our Wednesday night prayer meeting, youth service, or children’s ministry events on the 25th. This break is to allow all of the leaders and volunteers an opportunity to have a rare night off while giving everyone the freedom to prepare or travel for the holiday. Enjoy the free evening.

The church office will be closed on Thursday and Friday.

Sunday morning will be the normal Sunday schedule. Sunday School begins at 9. Come out and enjoy some great fellowship while growing in God’s Word. The Sunday morning service will begin at 10. It is a great time to worship and grow together with other Christ followers.

We will not be having our normal Sunday evening service on the 29th. Instead everyone is invited to a special Hanging of the Greens party when we will be decorating the facilities for the Christmas season. Come on out at 6 for a great time of decorating and laughing with friends.

Be sure and visit http://lifeunleashed.org/archives/660 for Pastor Marc’s recap of the Pursue Night held during the last youth service. Also, watch the three minute video in the midst of the post to see how passionately the students worshiped and prayed.
