back in action. New semester with great classes and
programs!
Mark your calendars the Wild Game Dinner
date has been set for March 8th! If you have anything
you would like to donate for the live auction please let
me know! Looking forward to another great and fun
time working on the biggest fundraiser for our youth!

In Him,
Cindy
SGU starts this week, and it's going to be a great semester. We have a movie and game night
planned for kids aged K-6 this month on Friday the 20th, as well. We had a lot of fun at our game
night last month, so I'm thinking that we'll have a great time. It will go from 5 to 8, and we will
have pizza and popcorn for the kids. I hope that all of the kids can make it out!
In Him,
Kim Trublood
SHOEBOXES CARRY MIRACLES FROM THE HEART OF GOD
A THIRD IMPACT STORY FROM MEXICO
A local volunteer reported: “Eduardo, an 11-year-old boy, was invited to a shoebox distribution
by his friend. He shared that he was very sad because his parents had a fight and they didn’t live together anymore.
He asked for prayer for his father to come back because he missed him. Eduardo attended the event and received
Jesus in his heart. Several weeks later, he happily told us that his father had come back and that everything was going better. He is very thankful for what God has done in his family, and he now attends The Greatest Journey lessons.
Thank you for your prayers and support of OCC, Operation Christmas Child! God bless you and hurting children through you!
The OCC (Operation Christmas Child) committee is baking homemade cookies that you can pick every Sunday
before and after church services. Our logo is ‘Eat a cookie, Help a Kid’ all donations will go towards OCC.
