We Have Moved! ... but the address is the same

We have moved!

The Wheatland Mission's web presence has moved to this new site.The address remains the same (wheatlandmission.com) but with a whole new look and a lot more functionality. Take time to check it out.

Wheatland Mission: Continuing the Conversation is intended to facilitate communication among all Wheatland folk, provide interaction and conversation via the blog, and be a clearing house for announcements, prayer requests and anything our community needs to know.

If you enjoy this site and want to browse the archives, as I know you all do (wink, wink), you can still access it at wheatlandmission.blogspot.com.

New Service Opportunity!

We have a great new ministry opportunity for anyone who is interested in helping plan service projects for the Wheatland Mission! Thanks to Gina Brown who gave us this great idea, we are putting together of team of people who will meet regularly to plan opportunities for our church body (both children and adults) to serve in our community. Our tentative goal is to have something planned every quarter.

And I’m very excited to share that Todd Lewis has agreed to lead this group. Todd and his wife Anne are among the handful from our church who work at Youthville and I can tell you from working with Todd on a collaborative project we’re doing at work that he is a great organizer and will be fantastic at leading this group!

Our first meeting will be Saturday, March 3rd after the worship service. If you’re interested in being a part of this team, please join us!

Children's Ministry Opportunities

The Wheatland Mission has been blessed with a great group of children! Each child is an important part of our church and the time spent each week teaching them is an important part of our worship. Many people view “worship” as what happens in the sanctuary with the adults. But worship occurs in the classrooms with our children as well! Sometimes it comes in the form of singing and praying, or the telling of a Bible story. But we also can express our worship when we rock a crying baby, or create playdough characters with a three year old. We show our love for God when we show our love for his children!

I want to thank all of you who help our in our children’s rooms on Saturday night. We count on many of you to help in the nursery, toddler and preschool room, elementary class, and with the youth. You do an awesome job and our children love you!

We have a few opportunities for additional helpers in our children’s ministry for those of you who enjoy working with children. Starting in March we need a few people to join our team and help once a month in the nursery or the toddler/preschool room. If you are interested in helping, please contact me (Kelly) at Kelly518@cox.net or 371-9675.

If you are unable to help on a monthly basis, please consider being on our list of substitutes. We always need people that we can call upon when another volunteer is sick or unable to be there for another reason.

Announcements!

Check out the blog continuing the conversation where we are discussing last week's message, the implications of the Apostle's Creed, and other great stuff. Also, this week I have included pictures of the Hill's new baby.

This weekend we will be starting a new series called: Through Pagan Eyes: A Study in Galatians. You can prepare by reading Galatians 1:1-10. It is great stuff.

Also, for all Rich Mullins afficianados, there will be a Rich Mullins tribute concert this Friday night at Central Christian Church. Our very own Calana will be contributing some piano work on a couple of songs that night. It all starts at 7:00 PM and it costs $10 per person. The proceeds go to support the work of The Legacy.

This Weekend... the Creed returns!

This weekend we will begin, once again, our discussion surrounding the Apostle's Creed and how it may make up a portion of Wheatland's Statement of Faith. In addition, you can participate in a discussion of some of the more unusual or controversial aspects of the creed at tangence: continuing the conversation. You are welcome to ask questions, make comments, cast aspersions...well, you know what I mean.

(By the way, if you want to check out the conversation but are unable to click on the above link, you can type in paulhill.wordpress.com. That will get you there too.)
