Newsflash!! FOCUS Team Takes Over the Evening Service!!

The FOCUS team waxed creative at their April 27th planning meeting. We were in charge of Fellowship's evening service and had some work to do.

Introduction cards were written by each member to be read as his/her picture was displayed in the front of the church. If there was ANY doubt that we have some personalities on our team...

A powerpoint presentation of our plans was polished up and our FOCUS drama team put together their first skit, a recitation of Psalm 1 complete with acting.

During the service, team members also played in the orchestra, played the offertory and special music, led singing and played guitar, led in prayer and preached. It was a wonderful service and one that we trust pleased the LORD.

Way to goooo, Team FOCUS!

Planning with our main contact


Our missionary to Portugal, Gil Thomas, met with us at our planning meeting on April 13th. We found out that we will be able to teach wiffle ball to students in a local school and then invite them to the church for a weekend tournament, where we can share the Good News with them. There is also painting and some light construction work for us to do. And we will be attending church on two different Sundays and will participate in the worship services. Sounds like we will be very busy!
