I pledge to trust God to be faithful and will demonstrate that trust by increasing my faithfulness in: Tithing, Prayer, and Scripture. God promises blessings that we cannot contain if we are faithful in our giving. We believe that God keeps his promises!
Let’s live like we do!

Chili Cook Off
Our annual chili cook off will be held on Sunday, February 25 with a
showing of The Resurrection
of Gavin Stone.
 
A former child star, Gavin Stone, reaped fame and fortune on a sitcom. People were only looking at him these days as the subject of TV tabloid segments with
clichéd cautionary captions like, "Where Are They Now?"
 
This former child star is back in his hometown of Masonville, Ill., and he’s in trouble. After trashing a hotel Gavin's been sentenced to 200 hours of
community service. Gavin's assignment seems to be about as far removed from his experiences as it could be:
Masonville Bible Church. It isn’t long
before Gavin wanders past the church's auditorium where there are drama
auditions taking place. And it’s evident to him that the would-be cast is in need of some divine intervention itself.
 
Soon Gavin is auditioning for the role of Jesus. Never mind that he doesn't know much about church, Bible or Jesus
himself. Never mind that he lies about being a believer. No, never mind any of that. Gavin's just desperate to be in the spotlight one more time. Little does he suspect that the role he covets will providentially shine its own spotlight on his broken life and needy soul.
 
Note:  A movie geared towards children will also be shown at the chili cook-off in their own separate area with adult
supervision will be provided.
