UPG Missions Banquet. What is God doing among the

UPGs (unreached people groups) around the world and

specifically in southern Philippines? How are the house

churches among the “cousins” there doing?

Come to the UPG Missions Banquet and hear “M”

speak and find out. The Banquet is on Monday, March

4, 7:00 PM, at Hillcrest Baptist Church. First Baptist

Church of Mertzon, Hillcrest, and CHBC are co-sponsoring

the event to bring awareness to the our churches about

what God is doing among the UPGs. Filipino food is

going to be served. There will be testimonies from the

western/American perspective on how churches here can

partner with the work there.

Tickets are available at the church office and in the

foyer on Sundays for $5. This is to help us plan for how

much to prepare for since there are at least three

churches involved.

All items will be on display in the church foyer and bidding will begin Sunday, Feb. 24th and end Sunday, March 3rd at 12:30PM.

If you have anything you would be willing to donate, please contact Connie Siefker or Stacy Stephenson.

Students from 28 different countries are our neighbors for up

to a year here at ASU. The goal is to connect with students to

help them settle in and feel welcome here in the US during

their stay.

Please consider taking advantage of this unique opportunity to

minister to students from all over the world. If you are interest

in hosting a student please let Ryan know.

They are also in need of individuals willing to drive students

(using our church van) to Walmart on a Thursday @6:15PM
