Messages
of Christ in Movies and Books
When
Jesus wanted to make a point, he told stories that caught people's imaginations
and made them think, stories like the Prodigal Son and the Lost Sheep. Those
stories are still around, helping us to understand what Jesus was trying to
tell us. But these days, it's hard to get into stories about mustard seeds and
fig trees, and even harder to get Jesus' message. We can find messages today in
movies and books.

Worship Ministry
Contribute
to Memorials worship ministry by being a part of the A-Team.
Memorial needs
people to help set up the microphones before the services. Trained sound system
operators are needed. ( Click
here for sound operator duties.)
Video
operators are also desperately needed for the services. If you are
proficient with computers, you can be of great help in designing presentations
for Sunday services.
If
you wish to become a regular sound operator, video operator or presentation
designer, please contact Ron Zastovnik, or Denise Leslie. These are very
important and rewarding ministries to the church and are desperately
needed.
YOUR donations
to the Multimedia Project has made these enrichments to Memorial's services.
Some very useful additions to the video and sound system are still needed.
There is no budget for them this year. Any additional donations would
allow us to purchase and install those additions. Click HERE
for more info about the needed additions.

Memorial is bustling with action for God's work every day.

event at the last moment. Scheduling is very important. If you need to schedule
time in any room at Memorial, check the church calendar on this web site.
Please read the "Calendar Help" first to see how
best view and print the calendar. Contact the church office for final schedule
verification and to schedule an event.
