E 4 M (EQUIPPED FOR MINISTRY)
Equipped for ministry is a podcast that answers common questions Christians ask. It's rooted in the instructions found in Ephesians 4 where pastors are told to equip the saints for the work of ministry. That's what we hope to do! Listen in and feel free to ask a question by emailing aaronb@bigwoods.org. 

PRAYER POINTS
Every other Wednesday evening the Elders meet for several hours to pray for the body and seek wisdom as they strive to lead and shepherd the body at Big Woods according to the Word of God.  Last evening some of the pressing needs and prayer points that they are asking for you to pray alongside them can be found here

WELCOME ROBBIE AND MACALA MAYS
Robbie and Macala will be moving to Lock Haven soon! Praise God they have found a place to live. We thought it would be nice to welcome them with some gifts. If you would like to donate gift cards or other welcoming sorts of things, there will be a basket in the back of the sanctuary, or you can drop it off at the office. We want to welcome them and help them hit the ground running in ministry, so anyway you can help with that would be appreciated!
