Revival services were well attended this week. Wade and Jennifer Burleigh from First Century Ministries conducted the services. They used wood carving, pottery, and drama in presenting the gospel message. Thanks to the fellowship committee for serving meals prior to the revival.

The youth will host a "baked potato dinner" after the morning worship service on January 21. Take-out will also be available. Proceeds will go to the youth camp expenses. Everyone is encouraged to come out and support our youth.
