Rev. William (Bill) Tate 

As we “Begin Again in 2010” let each one of us seek God’s guidance as to the best way we can give our time, talent, and finances to further God’s kingdom here in the Twin Cities area.

Many of you already give very generously.  I believe I can speak for God in thanking you for your generosity and I am sure God has blessed you in many ways.  Our church, along with many other churches, need to lose the “rear-view” mirror attitude.  Looking back at the past rarely solves problems of the present and future.  We need to look forward with expectancy toward a bright new future.  Our church is blessed with a well rounded age appropriate membership. Therefore, I am requesting that each one of us prayerfully consider how we will commit ourselves in service both with our time and our finances.  Let us remember our mission statement that says we will be Christ Centered through faithfulness in worship, outreach and service.  Please be willing to bring your commitment card on Sunday so that we can plan and look forward to new ministries for ourselves and others to enhance our ministry which God has called all of us to.

Grace and peace, Bro. Bill

Helping Hands.  The Discipleship Team is starting a Helping Hands ministry and invites the entire church to lend a “helping hand”.  If you would be willing to help someone with changing a light bulb, shopping, providing transportation to the doctor, etc., please contact the church office.  AND, if YOU need help with something, call the office.

Mission Opportunity for Interested Christians. Fulton First has taken on the task of packing and distributing commodities to Fulton County seniors who are at the poverty level.  Persons heading up the leadership are Bill Milliken, Greta Dickson, Dorothy Bush and Don Pinc; in addition to many volunteers who helped with the distribution.  Future distribution will take place the 3rd Friday of each month.  Thank you to all the volunteers for this much needed program.  If you'd like to get involved, contact the church office.

Wednesday Evening Dinner and Bible study.  The Wednesday night supper at 5:30 pm and Bible study at 6:15, has resumed.  Come on enjoy a meal and a study of "Acts" presented by Bro. Bill.
