Everybody's Birthday Party
We want you to attend next Sun. evening's "Everybody's Birthday Party", but we must know if you're coming. If you haven't signed-up, please do so today.

"Guthrie Grove Church"
"It is a comforting feeling knowing that your church family cares and is praying for you during difficult times. We never know when, or how bad, things can happen in our life. I trusted the Lord and prayed for his help and I know my prayers and others were answered. Thanks again, In Christian Love, Norman Chandler
P.S. It is nice to be back in Church!

Reminder: If interested in reading the Bible through in 2009, a monthly schedule is available (Entryway table). Other reading plans can be found online.

Thanks to those who helped with this past weekend's "Lock-in". Everyone had a wonderful time of praise and worship, Bible study, and fellowship.
