Accountability partners
install the X3watch software program on your computer, a FREE program helping with online integrity. Whenever a partner browses the internet and accesses a site which may contain questionable material, the program will save the site name on their computer. Every 2 weeks an e-mail containing all possible questionable sites they may have visited is sent to the partner they have chosen. This information is meant to encourage an open and honest conversation between friends and help us all be more accountable. For further information about X3watch or the ministry of http://www.xxxchurch.com please visit their website.

STEWARDSHIP SUNDAY
We encourage each family to pray about ways to be involved in the life of the church. Session feels that God is calling us to be a church family where each person contributes and is involved in the shared life and ministry of the church. We affirm the joy of giving to God’s work in our midst as we trust in His faithful provision to us. As Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 9:7-8, “Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of everything, you may share abundantly in every good work.” 2011 Stewardship Info. & 2011 Committment Form.
