*Ladies Day*
	Every spring the ladies of our congregation host a day of inspiration for woman of all ages. The day is filled with singing, praying and moments of learning offered through the teaching of a speaker selected by our elders. Part of the days celebration includes a fellowship meal served by the men of our congregation. There are discussion groups or breakout sessions to discuss with each other on a more personal level. These are designed to bring a more practical approach to implementing what we have learned throughout the day. The groups are available for woman of all ages. The cost for this wonderful day of worship is a food item that will then be distributed through our benevolence program. We invite you to celebrate our Saviour with us.
Life Groups
	This is an opportunity to get together in an informal setting to fellowship and discuss specific ministries. These groups offer a chance to get to know members of the congregation on a more personal level. The groups usually meet once a month to discuss upcoming events, brainstorm new ideas/ministries and enjoy one another's company. The groups are divided based on city location/proximity to one another. These groups are great for bringing someone in who doesn't know Christ but is intimidated by the formal setting of the worship.
Youth Rally
	Our Annual Youth Rally has occurred every year in September since 1995. We have had a tremendous response the past several years averaging around 80-90 teenagers ages 13-19. Although the youth rally is specifically designed for this age group, we encourage everyone to take advantage of an opportunity to participate in some way and worship our Lord. This ministry started its reach to the surrounding area and has continued to grow reaching many outside the state. From oil changes to nursing home visits, the youth rally provides something for everyone. We offer a life skills course designed to encourage team work and effective communication. On Saturday evenings, a capella singing entertainment, dinner and fellowship are offered at the local civic center banquet room.

Matthew 22:37-40
Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?
And he said to him, You shall love the Lord your God
with all your heart and with all your soul and with all
your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And
a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.
