SOLDIER BOX MINISTRY NEWS Our Soldier Box Ministry leaders have decided to stop sending
boxes for a while because many on our current list are coming home soon. If we see a need or get some new names, we will resume sending the care packages. Postage costs have increased by $1.00 per box as well. Please continue to pray for our men and women serving our country. We will keep you posted on
the needs of this ministry as they arise.

DISCIPLENOW
WEEKEND
APPROACHES
January 18 -20
DNow 19 is fast approaching. DNOW or
DiscipleNow is a time for our students,
7th-12
th grade, to spend the weekend fo-
cusing on growing in their faith and grow-
ing together. If you’ve never participated
in a Disciple Now I encourage you to join
us. We will be focusing on what it means
to have Relentless faith and how we live
that out every day. We will look at what attributes we need to have
as disciples of Christ as we do life together. We will worship together,
study together, and go out and serve our community together.
We will be having a DNOW preview night on Wednesday, January
16th during our Weekly Wednesday night service. You will have the
opportunity to meet/talk to our hosts and co-hosts and hear about
the upcoming weekend.
If you are a 7th-12
th grader, make sure that you are signed up by
Wednesday, January 16th. The cost is $30. If you need any further
information, please see Bro. Don or any Student Ministry volunteer.
Please feel free to email or call Bro. Don with any questions at
[email protected], 662-633- 0588.

TEAM
A new year has arrived and 2018 is slowly fading in the rearview mirror.
The good times, the difficult times, and the hard times of 2018 are in the
past and one thing remains unchanged: God was, is, and always will be faithful!
Let me take this opportunity to inform you of a new opportunity for spiritual growth in 2019.
I want to invite everyone to join me in a new
class called “Foundations” beginning Wednesday night, January 9th, at 7:00 PM. Believe it or not,
what we believe about matters of theology will affect how we live. God may not call every Christian to achieve a
seminary degree, but there are matters of faith and doctrine – that is, the church’s teaching – that every Christian must understand. Life is hard, but the more grounded in God’s Word we become then the more equipped we are to endure life’s hardships with faith and joy. Foundations has something to offer everyone, regardless of where you're at in your spiritual journey. Each evening will include a time of teaching as well as group discussion. You may be a mature follower of Christ who needs to refresh your heart and mind with the essential truths of Christianity. You may be a new believer desiring to grow in your knowledge and understanding of God and His Word. You may be a skeptic, but curious, interested in learning what the Bible teaches about the Christian faith. Everyone is invited to this new class! I hope you will join me in praying for God to move among us during the new year! Love and blessings, Pastor Jacob
