Today we had a picture/video scavenger hunt. Teens met at the church, divided into 4 teams, got their lists (below) and headed out on the town to accomplish as many tasks as possible in an hour and a half.

Our Cantata this year was King of Love and it included soloists, the Ladies Ensemble, the kids choir and, of course, the full choir. The following video includes the entire cantata from beginning to end. Enjoy!
Last Sunday morning, November 11, 2012, marked the first day of our Revival services with Bro. Dave McCracken and, of course, Veterans Day. Several people came to church in their uniforms and in the Sunday morning services we honored the veterans through prayer, a choir special and a rousing piano solo featuring each branch of the military. On Sunday evening we showed the following video tribute to our soldiers. “It Has Always Been the Soldier” is a video that was produced by Heartland Baptist Bible College in Spring 2007 by the tour groups GloryBound, Assurance and Witness.
Following the video, Bro. McCracken called for all past and present military personnel to stand as the congregation honored them through applause. Bro. Henry Ashe (Marines) and Bro. Bob Bailey (Air Force) thanked God through a time of prayer for our country and our military. May we never forget all levels of sacrifice that others have paid for our freedoms in America, and may we always recognize the God who grants us these freedoms. Enjoy the following video presentation:

Last week was the National Church Planters Conference hosted by Heartland Baptist Bible College in Oklahoma City, OK. Our Christmas day offering raised over $3,000 and was used to help several men plant churches all over the country. In addition, the Teens of Faith raised $600 in weekly offerings, and they were able to help 12 different church planters.
While we were there we tried to shoot a little video from where we were sitting, and we spliced together a few snippets in order to show you a glimpse of what went on at the conference. While you certainly cannot understand how amazing the conference is without experiencing first-hand, we hope this video at least gives you an idea of the needs of the church planters and the way churches like ours were able to help. Enjoy!
One of the highlights of this year’s Christmas Party was the chance to laugh. Enjoy the skit that was done last Friday night…
