Come to Prayer Meeting!! Re-starting after September 4th.
Update: Prayer Meetings -- the first Wednesday night of each month.
As a church body, we have just finished studying the Holy Spirit, & what the role of the Spirit should be in our church & in our lives. Jim Cymbala, the author of When God's Spirit Moves, says "The power of the Holy Spirit comes when people pray."
We have an opportunity now to put this into practice corporately at our monthly prayer meetings on Wednesday nights @ 7PM here @ Liberty Street.
Let us seek together His will for us, His healing, His hope, & His power. As Cymbala encouraged us, "God's not dead; he's still alive. And what he's done through the centuries when people have prayed, he can still do today. Let's ask the Holy Spirit to come & grant us a new spirit in our churches, in our small groups, & in our individual lives." "In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people..." Acts 2:17 "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us..." Romans 8:26
Wed. Oct. 2 @ 7:30PM - Prayer Meeting... Pray for Healing
Saturday Nite "LIVE" Worship @ 6PM - If you have unchurched friends or relatives, please invite them to our brand new worship service that started Saturday, October 13th. Nursery will be provided & we hope to have Sonshine Club. This is also an alternative for those who work shift work or who are unable to attend Sunday Morning Worship.

Mission Trip to Jamaica 2014
It’s time to start planning for Jamaica! If you would like an opportunity to serve God on the mission field and are ready for a life-changing adventure, we invite you on a one-week mission trip to Harmons, Jamaica. We’re working with an organization called Won by One to Jamaica to plan a trip for our church August 10-17, 2014. Anyone age 13 and over is welcome.
Harmons is a small mountain village of 3,000 people in south central Jamaica. It’s an impoverished community with around 75% unemployment. Quality medical treatment is lacking and money for basic needs is limited. One practical objective of our trip will be to help alleviate some of the physical hardships the citizens of Harmons experience every day.
Our jobs there may include tasks such as:
*constructing houses
*carrying marl (basic ingredient for making concrete)
*helping at “Blessings In Store,” a second-hand store created by the Won by One ministry, now run by local Jamaicans
*repairing homes
*assisting school teachers
Now is the time to make a commitment to going on the trip. If you are interested, please see Matt & Jenny Bates at the table in the church foyer. A $100 per person deposit will be required to secure your spot. Each team member must raise an additional $1,350 to cover trip expenses (airfare, ground transportation, meals/accommodations, etc.) Passport not included. The deposit will be due September 15. If you have questions, contact Matt & Jenny Bates at 814-764-6056 or at - mrbates_2000@yahoo.com.
