ANNUAL EVENTS

ANNUAL FELLOWSHIP EVENTS & SPECIAL SERVICES

NEW YEAR’S EVE: Each year we gather at the recreation center for delicious food, fun & games, and a time of fellowship. We have a great time together. A few minutes for before midnight, we gather together to “pray-in” the new year.

SUPER BOWL FELLOWSHIP: Each year we gather at the recreation center on Super Bowl Sunday to watch the game together and compete for prizes. Of course, we eat and have great fellowship. At half time, we have a devotion and prayer time.

SENIOR APPRECIATION BANQUET: We love and appreciate our Senior Adults very much. To show it, we throw a party just for them. They are treated to great food, a game or two, a time of remembrance for them to tell what they remember about their childhood and how things were years ago. We then have a message from a guest speaker. The 2007 theme was “Old Fashioned Day”. Some of our guests even dressed to fit the theme. It was great!

COMMUNITY EASTER SUNRISE SERVICE: Easter is a special time to celebrate Christ’s resurrection from dead after he was crucified to save us. The Hackleburg Ministerial Association organizes a community Sunrise service for Easter morning. We join with all participating local congregations to enjoy worship, special singing, and a sermon from a pastor of one of the participating churches. This is a special service that we are happy to be a part of.
MOTHER’S BANQUET: Our mothers are very special. Each year on the Saturday evening before Mother’s Day, our ladies (mothers, daughters, grand-mothers, etc.) have a banquet with great food, fun games, a guest speaker, and door prizes. We also honor one lady annually as “Mother of the Year”.

FATHER’S BANQUET: Our fathers are also very special. Each year on the Saturday morning before Father’s Day, our ladies treat all of the fathers & their sons to a breakfast fit for a king. We have a special guest speaker, games, prizes, and one father is named “Father of the Year”.

CHILDREN’S DAY: Our Children’s Ministries Department sponsors this annual event with a whole day of worship, an inspirational puppet show, a cook-out, making crafts, fun and games (inside and outside) including a giant water slide and moon bounce. This service is open to all children of the community, especially those who do not attend church elsewhere. This is an awesome day of ministry, and the kids have a ball! The children of this community are our future. If this time of fun can touch just one child, it is well worth the work that goes into it.

WOMEN’S CONVENTION: Each fall our Yahweh Sisterhood Women’s Ministry will present an entire day devoted to inspiring the women of our church, our community and other area churches with snacks, lunch, fun time, worship, up-lifting testimonies and messages from our special guest speaker.

FALL HAYRIDE & COOKOUT: We celebrate fall at the end of October with a cookout and hayride at the home of one of our members. We enjoy great food, lots of fun games, a devotion, and meaningful fellowship. We then go on a hayride through some very scary territory.

COMMUNITY THANKSGIVING SERVICE: Each November our church joins with the other churches in the Hackleburg Ministerial Association for a Community Thanksgiving Service. This is a wonderful time for the people of our community to join together in one local church to share such a special time of year.

CHURCH CHRISTMAS BANQUET: Our Christmas banquet is for the entire church. We celebrate Christmas by remembering that Jesus is the reason for the season. We have wonderful food, games, presents for the kids, fellowship and a message from a guest speaker.

WOMEN’S CHRISTMAS PARTY: Our Ladies gather for lot’s of great food, fellowship, and a game of “Dirty Santa”. Don’t forget your boxing gloves and head gear for this one. We have a lot of fun.

MEN’S CHRISTMAS OUTING: Our men spend their time together for Christmas with a trip out to eat at a nice restaurant, bowling and then for donuts or ice cream.
