Bulletin for October 18th
Teen Challenge – “Audrey’s Home for Girls”
Don’t miss tonight’s service at 6:00pm…..Our special guests are the girls from “Audrey’s Home for Girls” Teen Challenge. You will be blessed by their testimonies and ministry of music.
Teen Challenge is one of the most effective drug recovery programs in America, simply because moral development and spiritual development go hand-in-hand. Drugs and alcohol are not the central focuses of the Teen Challenge program; building character and moral training are vital for overcoming addiction.

“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”!!
