New Study Beginning Wednesday, January 6^th at 6 pm

Christians know what Jesus Christ has done—but who is he? What is his deepest heart for his people, weary and faltering on their journey toward heaven? Jesus said he is “gentle and lowly in heart.” We will discuss two chapters in the award-winning book Gentle and Lowly by Dane Ortlund each week, opening up a neglected yet central truth about who Jesus is for sinners and sufferers today. See Pastor Stephanie for a copy of the book if you would like to be in the study.

Karen and I wish to express our appreciation to the congregation for the Love Gift this Christmas. We are grateful for your generosity and thoughtfulness. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Dwight & Karen

 

“Thank you to the Alert church family for the very generous Christmas

love gift.  It is a pleasure and honor to be a part of worship here, and although the gift is never expected, it is very much appreciated.  Thank you! LuAnn”

 

Thanks to all of you so very much for the Christmas gifts and cards, as well as for the Christmas bonus. How generous of you all! It means the world that you were thinking of me. I wish you many blessings in this New Year. – Pastor Stephanie

 

Thank you for your support.  This past Christmas, the Community Food Basket was able to give 25 Food Baskets and 55 children were adopted through the Adopt-A-Family Christmas ministry.  One way you can support the Community Food Basket is with a Dollar General gift card since we purchase most of our food and paper items from Dollar General in Riley.
