Welcome to Sunset on this winter’s morning! If you are a guest with us today we want give you a warm welcome. Our common goal this morning is to bring glory to God through our worship. Last Sunday morning we welcomed Hal and Dottie Stowe to Sunset. Hal is the brother of our Virginia Davis. Hal has

led singing here before and we look forward to having this couple as part of our church family! Last Sunday night was a special time as we celebrated the 2nd anniversary of the Hispanic work here at Sunset. There was a combined worship and meal afterward. Continue to pray for our brothers and sisters. Our focus this week is the Home Makeover that is scheduled for the month of June. We anticipate reaching out in our community in a way we have never done before. Pray that this effort will open doors to those in our neighborhood who need to know Jesus. Next Sunday is the beginning of our new Bible Class Quarter. Take note of the class schedule that is attached to the bulletin and find some that you can be part of! Keep on praying for the ministry opportunities that are before us . . . On Sunday night, March 10th, the Harding University Chamber Singers will be here and will provide a 20 minute concert following services. We are looking for 9 host families. A sign-up sheet is on the bulletin board. Joe

YOUTH ACTIVITIES

YOUTH – CREW notes

Where are we? We have taken most of our youth to Thin Ice, our annual youth retreat at Maranatha Bible Camp in Everton, MO. By the time you read this we’ll have already done so much to grow closer and be encouraged in our faith. God has been active, working in our hearts and minds transforming each of us. Continue to keep us in your prayers as we conclude this weekend and travel home. The vans will be returning at the end of second service. There will be Bible class today for our teens. Thanks Dwight! Parents - please mark your calendars now for our “Casual Dessert” on March 3rd. We will meet together in the fellowship hall after our Sunday evening service from 6-7pm. We’ll share in some delicious sweets and coffee, and get all the latest on the CREW’s schedule for this Spring and Summer!

God Bless, Chris & Amanda
