2013 Christmas/ Happy New Year!!

~Christmas Eve Candle Light Service~

Yes, this post is about a month late due to being so busy from Christmas and New Years, but I wanted to share our Christmas Eve service before we moved on to 2014! It is always such a special time to get together, sing praises to God for sending His Son, and refocus our frazzled-from-Christmas-preparations onto the REAL reason we celebrate Christmas- Jesus' birth!

The men in the church were involved by reading different portions of the Bible.

Though it was a small group we all had an amazing time worshiping God through singing and the reading of His word. Hope you all had a special Christmas!

Happy New Year from Pinecrest Baptist Church!

Cookie Bake

We all had a wicked sweet time at the cookie bake! Every year around this time we get together and bake Christmas cookies, decorate them, and then pass them out to our neighbors!

All broken cookies were eaten by the faithful clean-up crew. ;)

Our next Christmas event is tomorrow (Tuesday, Dec. 17)! You're welcome to come join us at the church after Joy Club for our gift exchange! 

Fall Bible Conference

Our Fall Bible Conference was kicked off with a hay ride and bonfire on Friday. The 63 people that showed up at the Kinney's for a hay ride had a blast! Church family, friends, and neighbors. 

It was only a little chilly...

...Unless you stood by the fire, then it was nice and toasty :)

Then come Saturday we had a delicious harvest dinner.

There always has to be that one group...

A special thank you to our guest speaker, President David Little, for challenging us in the Word and encouraging us in our ministry!

Amelia's Baby Shower!

We were excited to have yet another baby shower!

Admiring the little guy (Joanna and Pastor Potter's new baby)

We had a fantastic time showering Amelia and baby Hansen with gifts and are eagerly waiting the new arrival of the child God has blessed Amelia and Kyle Hansen with!
