A challenge to men
The research is clear ‚if you reach a man for Christ you reach a family more than 85% of the time (Barna). If we are going to grow at Community, we must be intentional about reaching men for the Kingdom of God. We are looking for 2 or 3 men willing to step up to meet the challenge of developing a dynamic ministry for and with men. It is our desire to help men in our congregation grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ and to be intentional about sharing Jesus Christ with the men in our community. If you are up to the challenge‚ contact Dick Garriott at rgarriott@cox.net. 1 Corinthians 16: 13-14 (NASB) 13 Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. 14 Let all that you do be done in love.

Women's Faith Focus study
Please join us in Women's Faith Focus Zoom meetings for nine Tuesday mornings as we explore "Growing Older and Wiser" Life Guide Bible Study by Dale Larsen and Sandy Larsen. We meet at 9:30 am.
