Bulletin for October 25th
PASTOR’S APPRECIATION MONTH
God has blessed us with some of the best Pastors at Maranatha. Pastors Doug & Rosemary, Pastor Ron, Pastor Jack, Pastor Nathan & Pastor Mike need your prayers, and words of encouragement. We will be taking a love offering for them today in appreciation of their love, hard work and also to honor them as our shepherds. There are copies of a “Prayer Based On Scripture” at the Information Booth, and we ask you to continue to pray for each of our Pastor’s everyday.

“FRIEND OF MARANATHA”
Every year that we perform the production of “The Gospel According To Scrooge” as an outreach to our community, we have a way for you to financially partner with us to help with some of the expense. You can become a Friend of Maranatha by donating $25.00. We will list all the names of people/families that donate in the program we pass out nightly at the play.
If you would like to have your business card advertised in the program, see Dave Wilhour for more information.
The most important way you can partner with us is to pray and bring an unsaved family member or friend to “The Gospel According To Scrooge”!!
