Scout Sunday
February 8, 2015
From Scouts arriving at the place of worship, together
and all in uniform, to their reverent roles in the service
itself, this event is a uniquely meaningful way to make
the public aware of Scouting, and to allow Scouts to
live out their "Duty to God" pledge each week.
Additionally, this year’s Scout Sunday celebration
happens to coincide with BSA’s 105th birthday!

Words cannot adequately express the appreciation Dale & I
have for your words of concern to us and for the prayers
you offered up on our behalf. We continue to fight the good
fight to win over this devastating disease. First Christian
Church has added many wonderful and exciting experiences
in our lives. God blessed us by allowing us to share with
such “special” children of God. Continue to keep us in your
prayers. You matter to us. Pairs and Spares Sunday School
provides us much support.
God Bless-In Christian Love

I would like to Thank all the prayer warriors who sent
prayers up for my kidney stone surgery. It was a success
and I just praise God for the comfort! Prayer is the best
thing we can do for each other.
