Trip to the snow

A group of people in our church recently went to go sledding near Flagstaff, AZ. If you didn't go on this trip, you really missed out on a lot of fun!

Watchnight Service

Our church had a watchnight service from 8 PM on Dec. 31st, 2007 to 12:01 AM Jan. 1st, 2008.

We started out by having song requests. Because this was an "informal" service, Pastor Anderson's daughter was free to roam the auditorium during the singing. Of course, she immediately crawled over to him, and then began songleading with him.


After the brief service, we did Sword drills: a reference is called out, and whoever can find it first in their Bible jumps out of their seat and reads the verse.


Next, we enjoyed some really great pizza, as well as chocolate fondue. After everyone was stuffed, we worked off the food through fierce competition by playing board games. It was equally fun and intense - almost everyone was highly competitive!




We ended the evening with the Lord's Supper and prayer. It was a great start to the new year for all who came.

Chili Cook-off

On October 31st, we held our 2nd Annual Chili Cook-off after the Wednesday night service. A total of 7 chilies were entered, and prizes were awarded to the top 3 winners. There were biscuits and corn bread on the side, fruit pies and cobblers for dessert, and lots of spiced apple cider for everyone. You just had to have been there to know what a great time of fun and fellowship it was!
