"Extending Our Borders In 2009 and Beyond!"

As we continue to "Tell the Story" of Jesus, we want to intentionally extend our area of influence. The challenge comes to us as individuals, as families and certainly as the church body.

• Our Global Missions emphasis facilitates our participation in the financial support of missionary efforts. We are encouraging everyone to give $10.00 or more monthly to Global Missions, along with their regular giving.

• Community events, like Wood Village Nite Out, are on the calendar. More will be scheduled.

• Our facilities continue to be appreciated by local groups, including schools which need facilities for workshops and concerts.

• We want to be an encouraging motivator for each individual and family to find ways to connect with neighbors, co-workers, school friends and sports programs to build relationships that lead to sharing God's Good News of Salvation through Jesus.

No one person or family or church can do it all, and not one follower of Jesus is exempt from the privilege and responsibility of Telling Jesus' Story locally and globally. Prayerfully, let us Extend Our Borders in 2009 . . . and until Jesus comes for us.
