Childrens Services Ushers Thank You! PRAISE THE LORD! This week I received the unbelievable news that Evelyn received a scholarship through Africa Nazarene University and all of her school bills, past and future, have been paid. I am blown away at how God has provided. Two and a half years ago when God called me to raise money to send Evelyn to college, I had no idea how this was possible. Now God has shown me that nothing is impossible with Him, and He is always faithful. Thank you so much for all of your donations and prayers and for your support and encouragement. By being obedient to God’s call, we have been able to send a Nigerian girl to college. Wow. She will graduate in the summer of 2013, and I know God has awesome plans for her life. Praise God – He is so good! -Melody “I was hungry and you fed me…” Vicky Hite is planning monthly trips to the Salvation Army homeless shelter in Parkersburg and you are invited to join her. February 29 We will leave the church at 3:30pm and return by 6:15pm. Each month Vicky will be collecting and taking items to the shelter. For October the need is plastic water bottles, packets of Lipton soup mix, oyster crackers, and granola bars. You can drop donations off in the office or give them to Vicky. For more information you can call Vicky at 376-9679 or e-mail her at: vhite_2@suddenlink.net
