Sabbath, January 30, 2010Elder Hubert Cisneros.  As you may have heard, Hubert & Lucy are moving their ministry west to Lincoln Nebraska. They have served in Ohio for the last 12 years in many capacities and will leave a large void when they go. We have been especially blessed to have had them worship with us on a somewhat regular basis (you can't work for the conference and maintain any kind of regular schedule!) so to us, they are family. Lucy has gone on ahead to establish their new home, while Hubert will be in Ohio for a few more weeks, ministering, preaching and doing what he does best, loving the people.

 

Please join Adventurers Club members and their families as they celebrate the completion of a full year of learning, fun and getting closing to Jesus. For the past year, they have worked very hard in order to achieve their goals. Show your support by joining them this Saturday at their Investiture Service, 5:30pm in the church sanctuary.

Now available, the 2010 "Faces of Hope" Calendar.  Our 2009 Sabbath school offerings are directed to the LIGHTHOUSE ACADEMY in Kenya. This Christian school is owned and operated by the family of Kennedy Dulo and their non-profit organization, Rafiki Africa Foundation.  The school is currently raising funds through calendar sales to add on a kitchen and dining room for the students who currently take their meals outside on the ground.  These calendars feature pictures of the children who attend LIGHTHOUSE ACADEMY and villagers from the local community.  You will find these calendars in the narthex of the church and are available to you for free. If you would like to make a donation, we would be happy to receive them and pass that along to Kennedy Dulo.
