Cheerleading League next year January –
March, 2016. All Registrations are handled
through our Church Office. Girls and Boys
(K5 thru 5th
Grade) will be taught
basketball and cheerleading fundamentals,
teamwork, healthy competition and
foundational biblical principles. This is a
great opportunity to provide our church
and neighborhood children with a positive
sports experience. Just like the past four
years, we will need many volunteer
coaches, referees, game day assistants,
prayer warriors, and league leaders to
make UPWARDS a successful mission.
Please pray daily for our UPWARD
Basketball & Cheerleading League. Please
contact Harry Barr
([email protected]) if you feel
led to volunteer for this important ministry
or if you need more information. If you are
interested in coaching this year, please
contact Mike Stafford (Basketball) or
Anita Pocci (Cheerleading).

Dear Church Family,
On behalf of the John J.
Funderburk family, we would like
to thank everyone for your
prayers, cards, and visits during
his illness and especially now,
since he has gone on to be with
our Lord. A very special thank
you to Pastor Dave and Pastor
Mike for their many visits he
enjoyed so much. To all of you
who provided the wonderful meals
and provisions during our time of
preparation and the day of our
final goodbye. Thank you just
doesn’t seem to be enough. May
God richly bless you all.
--Dana Funderburk;
Linda Myers and Family
