Encounter Church Annual Business Meeting February 12th

Right after church on Sunday February 12th is the annual business meeting for Encounter Church. This meeting sets the budget and goals for the coming year for both the Great Bend and Sterling campuses. All church members are encouraged to attend and vote. If you are not yet an official church member, please let us know and we will get you a membership application card (that won’t apply to this year’s meeting, but it will apply next year).

This year’s meeting is particularly important because Pastor Dozier, senior pastor for both campuses, has announced he will be transitioning out of his position over the next two years. A succession plan will be presented to the membership at this meeting.

One Day to Feed the World February 26th – Convoy of Hope

Convoy of Hope is an arm of the Assemblies of God whose goal is to serve people who are impoverished, hungry, and hurting. They are active in areas throughout the world responding to those in need due to natural disasters, wars, or endemic poverty. They provide food and education to hundreds of thousands of children every day. One Day to Feed the World is their request to believers to donate one day’s income to support this worthy effort. We will collect a special offering on February 26th.

Pi Day March 14

March 14 is Pi Day, you know 3.14 is mathematical expression of Pi. Let’s do something nice for the elementary and high school teachers in Sterling by making them pies on Pi day. Last year we baked them cookies to start the school year, this year let’s make them pies! It doesn’t matter what kind, make your favorite or easiest. Just don’t make them square, because in math maybe pi are square (r2), but on the dinner table pie are round.
