From humble beginnings...

In 1804, William, a 21-year-old from a poor family, decided to go to

New York City to find a job. He told a neighbor his plans, saying he
knew how to make soap and might work in a soap factory.

The neighbor said, “Just remember to be a good man, give your heart
to Christ and pay the Lord all that belongs to him. Give a dime of every
dollar you make, make an honest soap and you will be a happy and
wealthy man.”

Sure enough, William found a job making soap. Later, he became part owner and then sole owner of
the business. His product line — and giving — expanded greatly. He gave many millions of dollars
to the Lord’s work throughout the world, far more than 10 percent of his wealth.

William Colgate died in 1857 at age 74, but his legacy and company, Colgate-Palmolive, still thrive.

“You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and my servant whom I have chosen,

god was formed, nor will there be one after me.”

January 17- 23 John 14:6-7

Jesus answered, “ I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the
Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as
well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

January 24 - 30 John 3:16-17

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his
Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”

 EASTER MUSIC.....
Now is a great time to join the choir for Easter. Our selection
this year is “On A Hill Too Far Away.” You will want to be a part of
this new drama for Easter.
Randy Vader and Jay Rouse bring back the musical that defined
the message and mystery of the cross for a decade. On a Hill Too
Far Away is as relevant today as it was then. Greatly influenced by
the John Fischer book of the same title, it is a clarion call to His
church to bring the cross back to the center of our faith. Now
with all new drama and a full length DVD that brings the Cross front and center in poignant
images.
Kick Off Rehearsal will be on January 29, 9:30am - Noon.
Join US as we focus on the miracle of Easter.
