Bulletin – Mar 7th
The AGM of the church was held last Sunday afternoon: a very busy day. Reports were distributed; three were given verbally. The budget for 2010, based on the vision for this year, was approved. You may obtain a copy of the annual report as well as a copy of the budget from the Info Desk. We give praise to God and thanks to all the supporters of His kingdom through MGA. You are a partner in His mission for our region and the ministries we support beyond our borders.
We welcome home our staff members: Michele and Juanita,who have returned from vacation, and Pastors Robert and Gordon who have returned from the Vancouver Olympics. They will be happy to share their first hand stories.
If you are a follower of Jesus, but have never been baptized, you have an important step to take in order to become his true disciple. Please read Matthew 28:19 and sign up at the Info Desk for the baptism class this Thursday night @ 7pm. See you there!
~Pastor Glen
