The year 2016 will have, the Lord willing, four months with 5th Sundays. This year, we plan to modify the 5th Sunday to our regular Sunday morning Bible class and worship, plus a congregational meal and afternoon service. This is not new for us, having done this a few times in the past couple of years. However, this year we will be plan to be consistent on those Sundays. On January 31st, we will have Bible classes, with the girls and ladies meeting in the old fellowship hall.

Sometimes in the work of the church, the word “program” gets thrown around a lot. Some people feel that a “program” depersonalizes them and their deeds. Let me apply this to some thing we do here—Monday Night for the Master. It is much more than a program—it is a framework in which you can personally work for God. Some of us have tight schedules and deadlines, and are personally pulled in so many directions. Some people may feel that they really don’t know how to be involved.
