Pastor’s Notes

Hello!

May the New Year bring you and your family abundant blessings of joy and hope.

2010 brought many great changes at The Power Houses. This included an increase in participation in Pizza Church. Thank you for continuing to encourage your child’s attendance each Friday evening.

It’s not too early to start thinking about camp in July 2011. We’re experiencing a dramatic increase in the camp fees. Making sure that your child continues to participate in church regularly is the best way for them to earn a week-long trip to camp in July.

We’re looking toward a great year in 2011. Thank you for your continued trust in helping with your child’s spiritual development.

In Christ,

Pastor Jeff Anderson

Friendly’s

Did you know that kids who come to activities at The Power House at least 40 times during a year (July through June) earn a trip to Friendly’s with the youth ministry staff? Congratulations to Bryce Anderson, Fred Ceo, Crystal Pettis, and Davon Burley for being the first four to do so this year.
