1. Easter Baskets for the women & children at the Moriah House!
These baskets will be given out in the foyer of Grace Evan Church on Sunday, April 6th. This project is for Grace Evan members first since the church is paying for the baskets, and giving a $30 gift card (provided by Grace Venture) to each person to use to fill the basket.
The baskets are to be returned on Sunday, April 13th. They will be given to the MH staff to hand out to the women & children on Easter morning.
Easter for the men at Calvary Colony: We will be dropping off the book “The Case for Easter” by Lee Strobel with a chocolate Easter Bar wrapped in purple with “He is Risen” and a Bible verse, for the staff to give the men on Easter morning!
2. Zoo trip for the women, children, and staff at the Moriah House. When we pick a nice day to go, I will let you know if you would like to join us. You can feel free to bring your kids too! You will need to pay for your own admission to the zoo!
3. Calvary Colony Pizza, music, Bingo, and refreshment fellowship! Thursday, May 1st at 6:00 p.m.
We will provide a pizza dinner for the men before we come. Mark Tilson is coming at 5:30 to play his guitar & sing for a mini concert. The men LOVE his music and Mark is faithful to come often!
Around 6:00-6:15, we will have our fun Bingo Game. Each person needs to bring 5 Bingo prizes you can pick up at Dollar Tree. For those who sign up, I will send you a list of items that are favorites for prizes.
4. Moriah House Garden Party for graduates and present clients. This is a first! We are planning on Sat., June 14th, From 10:00 to 1:00, a special day for graduates to return and celebrate & encourage the ladies that are working hard in their recovery at the Moriah House. We will have food, games, testimonies, and door prizes. If you would like to help with this planning, please let me know.
5. Babysitters for the Moriah House on Wednesdays from 1:30 - 2:30 p.m. I have a faithful group, but we can always use more. The more we have, the less days that you will need to sign up. It is such a wonderful ministry as you watch over the preschoolers of the women in my one hour Bible study class. We have a well equipped nursery with an attached outdoor playground for toddlers. We always have 2 workers present. Let me know if you would like to be included on our quarterly sign up email.
Please contact Diane Gaither to ask any questions or RSVP to any of these events: dcd1953@yahoo.com

1. We believe the mission of the church is to glorify God by going into all the world to preach the gospel and plant healthy churches where disciples worship God, obey Christ’s commands, and grow to maturity.
2. We believe the gospel is the power of God for salvation; our task is to represent Christ by faithfully and verbally proclaiming God’s Word to the world.
3. We believe the Bible is sufficient, authoritative, and relevant for this core missionary task, providing both the message and method for our mission.
4. We believe God is sovereign in salvation; we rely on the Holy Spirit to convict and regenerate all whom the Father has chosen, graciously bringing them to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.
5. We believe God’s Word and Christ's Lordship connect with and confront all human cultures; we seek to communicate the gospel in contextually appropriate ways and in diverse languages without fundamentally altering its content.
6. We believe healthy local churches are needed in every community; therefore, we strive to reach new peoples and places with the gospel while also strengthening churches and leaders where health is lacking.
7. We believe the church is the primary means of obeying the Great Commission among the nations as local churches identify, train, send, and support qualified missionaries.
8. We believe making disciples is normally a slow process that requires patience as believers grow to maturity in Christ through the ordinary means of grace in the context of a local church.
9. We believe planting and strengthening churches necessarily includes the work of identifying and training qualified, well-taught, reproducing local leaders.
10. We believe our mission should be carried out through gospel partnerships by cooperating and collaborating with faithful Christians throughout the global church.
