The last two years, we’ve sent teams to Houston to help partner with families devastated by Hurricane Harvey. Rather than going in and helping broadly with surface clean up (which there’s nothing wrong with, by the way), what Crisis Response does is a little different. The ministry partners with individuals/families in need of help and digs in and STAYS connected for several…

We have had fun and great start to the Summer Children’s Ministry “Get Wisdom.” We’re now ready to share the summer ministry Mission Projects with the children and with you, the rest of the congregation.  When choosing projects, I try to pick ones that children can identify with, understand and work toward completing a finite goal.  For example, 35 cents feeds one…

The Kingdom Begins (and we will talk about it on Sunday, the next several Sundays, many Sundays in the future, but not all Sundays)… let me explain: For the month of June, we will be focusing on the early chapters of the gospel of (or according to) Matthew.  This part of the New Testament is one of the four records of the…

Coming up this summer, we are offering two opportunities to attend our ‘membership class.’  It is roughly a two hour class that explains a variety of things like: the historical background of the Evangelical Free Church of America (the denomination we are associated with) within the 2000 year history of Christianity and the 500 years since the Protestant Reformation; how we are…

Titus: organizing the church in Wildwood, Missouri. Ok, Titus was really hanging out on the island of Crete (part of Greece and right in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea).  Following Paul’s first imprisonment in Rome, he traveled to various places with several of his younger proteges’s.  On his trip to Crete, he was accompanied by Titus, a gentile convert from Antioch…

They are finishing up “A Man and His Traps” and will be starting a new part of the series ” A Man and His Work” on Wedneday, June 5th. Any guy interested should come! This is a great point to jump into the group,…

Before I write to you concerning our future need for a new Children’s Ministry Director, I want to say a few things about our present Director, Karen Woolsey.  I have known and worked with Karen, almost non-stop, for the last 16 years.  That is as long as I have worked with anybody in my working experience.  I liked her in the beginning…

Ladies, we have a new day-time study coming at you this summer. Molly Rayner will be leading Margaret Feinberg’s “Taste and See.” The group will meet at Quest on Wednesday mornings from 9:30am-11:15am beginning June 19th thru July 24th. We will be providing childcare, so if that is something you need, please be sure to let us know so we have enough…

There’s something about spring that makes for the perfect opportunity to clean up around your property. After a long winter, there just seems to be some upkeep needed to keep things growing healthily and looking good. We’re having a Quest workday at the church on Saturday, May 18th to do just that. It will take a team of people willing to work…

This year, our youth group, Quest Students, is splitting up and sending middle schoolers to summer camp and doing something different with our high schoolers (more info on that to come). However, with this change, we are also able to include our elementary kids going into 4th and 5th grades. You read that right, any of our students GOING INTO 4th grade…
