ANNOUNCEMENTS
The MISSION PROJECT for March is The Huntington City Mission. The Mission was founded in 1939 as a “soup kitchen” for homeless men. It is the only full-service shelter in a fifty-mile radius of Huntington. They offer help & hope to everyone who comes to their door. Hope for a safe place to sleep, hope for a warm meal and hope for a better future as they share the love of Christ. If you wish to make a contribution, please write HCM on your check memo. Thanks!
Daily Bible Reading Calendars for 2024 are on the foyer tables, courtesy of Evangelistic Outreach. There will also be a schedule to read through the Bible chronologically. The WVBC ABWM Bible Book of the Month for March is Galatians.
