<p><br>We are starting a new method of communicating prayer requests and church information.  On the bulletin board next to the office is a list of those who said they'd like to receive requests and info by e-mail.  There is also a phone chain for those who preferred a phone call.  Please check this to be sure you are listed the way you want to be.  Any questions or need for changes, please see Lisa Shelly.  Thank you. 

<p>A new Care Group is forming at Jubilee.  Mike and Melody Clymer will lead this new group.  If you are interested in joining this group or have questions about the care group ministry at Jubilee, see Duane or Elaine Maust.

<p>Are you being called to take another step toward God?  Are you considering baptism?  Church membership at Jubilee?  New classes are forming.  Please talk to Duane or Elaine Maust.

<p>Jubilee invites the prayers and financial support of Jacob's Well, a Christian Recovery Center for women in Lucedale, MS.  Please make checks payable to Jubilee and note, "Jacob's Well donation."
