Announcements.

If you are visiting us for the first time today we hope that you feel welcome.  We would appreciate it if you could fill out the “Welcome” card in the pew backs and drop them in the offering plate so we can get to know you.

There will be a Free Community Fellowship Meal at Staunton Mennonite Church on January 7th at 6:00pm. Invite friends, neighbors, and anyone who might appreciate an evening of fellowship and a free meal.

Congratulations to everyone that was able to read the Bible from cover to cover in 2008! How might God be calling us to come to know Him and make Him known better in 2009?
