YOUTH MINISTRIES MOVIE NIGHT – February 9, 6:30PM at the Bairds. Darla has several options and will choose a good one next week. This is a great event to bring a friend! (Remember our Meeting at Church on Sunday, Feb 11, at 6:00PM)
UPDATE: CHILDREN’S AREA BUILDING PROJECT – We have received $65K of the $75K we asked for in checks and pledges for the new building project! This is fantastic! We will be getting final bids in the next few weeks to give us a bottom line total we need to “break ground.” Very exciting! Contact Roger Doctor or Dick DeBoer if you have any questions.
GROUP LIFE – We want everyone at Celebration to experience a meaningful community where they can grow closer to God and grow closer to people. One way is through small groups. We will be starting new groups at the end of February. Contact Pastor Matt or Brenda Swanson if you would like to join/start a group.
