Words From The Pastor Answer this question in thirty seconds - Why do you exist? A seemingly simple question to answer at first thought. This question was posed to me at the end of a meeting. As a pastor, one would imagine that I would be able to rattle off 100 reasons why I exist. I exist to preach the gospel, to pray for the hurting, to lead the Church and much more. But when I only had thirty seconds to describe why I am here I have to admit, I froze.

The Hi Point Women's Center, Giving Life a Second Chance The Hi Point Women's Center (HPWC) is a pregnancy care center defending unborn precious human life. The HPWC presents positive alternatives to abortion in a loving and compassionate manner, allowing men and women to choose life for their unborn child. The organization was established by a group of Christian men and women in 1985 who wanted to make a difference in abortion. They wanted mother's to choose life for her unborn child. The HPWC is a faith-based organization, helping transform lives and to saves lives in Jesus name. The curriculum used is faith based. April Staten, Executive Director, said, "We transform lives by providing the gospel message to

our clients. We saves lives through Gods word about how each life has a purpose; no matter the circumstances.” Staten said, “We are proud of parents choosing life over abortion for their unborn child. One of our successes is starting our parenting classes last May, the difference it makes in our clients parenting style and how that will hopefully impact generations to come.” The program, Grace and Mercy is a faith based incentive program geared to help motivate clients to make positive lifestyle choices and earn items available in the baby store for purchase with baby bucks. Baby Bucks are earned by attending classes, doctor’s appointments, church services and more. In 2013, the center had 1,377 visits. However, due to the increased awareness of educational, parenting, and pregnancy classes - by the end of June of this year the center has already reached 1,250 visits. So far this year the center is averaging about 200 to 250 visits a month. The biggest opportunity which is also presenting the center with a challenge is converting the center to a medical center to offer free ultra sounds to their clients. Their biggest need is expanding the center to continue the classes with the growing number of clients. Staten said, “We are in the planning stages of this and God has been blessing us with the support needed but there is more support to be gained.”

Janet Dunn, who is Carolyn's mom said, “Carolyn had been asked for the last 2-3 years if she would ever do a concert, she didn't want the focus to be on her. So when I suggested doing a concert to benefit HPWC - the answer was YES!” Janet is a pediatrician and a mother of four children.

Janet said, “Even though I haven't been actively involved with the Women's Center, I have always had a passion for their mission and the work they do. I believe nearly all of newborn infants that I see, I think to myself about these babies, “You are here....every little detail created by God in HIS image. How heartbreaking it is to think that many babies never get a chance at life.” So, supporting the Women's Center is an avenue to support these infants and their families, and to show God's love in many ways.”

In 1972 they began an outreach ministry for kids and started a bus program, utilizing up to 14 school buses to transporting 450 to 500 kids to church every Sunday. In 2007 the Upward program was born - a faith based non-competitive sports league. Through this outreach ministry First Church of God is able to connect with over 400 kids primarily in basketball, softball and flag football. The kids have devotion during practice and before games and games are played in FCOG’s multi ministry room which seats 1,137 people. Other ministries include FCOG’s “Happy Saints”, which is their Senior Adults ministry headed up by Pastor Ray Headings.

He has developed and written a Discipleship Program that’s now offered in Sunday school and currently utilized online by nine other congregations. The Discipleship workbooks are available for download at www.bfcog.org. Trunk or Treat is one of FCOG’s biggest outreach ministry. Each year at Halloween time, they kick off a huge trunk or treat program in the parking lot of the church with tons of fun and decorations. This is a time of Christian fun for the entire family where they offer inflatable games, food, and also have a stage with a message. Pastor Plogger says they usually have over 5000 people attend.

First Church of God is also a location for community funerals where the church is able to minister to the families during their difficult time. Other ministries include children’s day care where they currently have 162 kids enrolled. Day care is provided from 5 a.m. To 6 p.m. and meals are provided.

David and Tracy moved to Ohio in 2010 after being involved in a startup church in South Dakota. Upon taking a summer vacation in Ohio, Tracy said God told them this is where He wanted them - so they packed up everything they owned and moved across the country.

training helps connect the things we deal with in life to Scripture.

Heavenly Treats Over the last few months you have discovered my love for all things sweet. This month I am passing on quick and easy dessert recipe for all the chocolate lovers out there. The hardest part of this recipe is letting the pie cool and set in the refrigerator. It has a deep chocolaty flavor. Good to serve on its own or with a big dollop of whipping cream. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Easy Homemade Chocolate Pudding Pie 1 1/4 cup sugar 3 tablespoons cocoa powder 2 eggs 2/3 cup evaporated milk 1/4 cup butter, melted 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 pre made pie crust (if use frozen pie crust, let thaw) In bowl beat the eggs. Add in the sugar and cocoa powder and mix well. Beat in the milk, butter and vanilla. Pour into pre made pie crust. Bake in a 350 preheated oven for 55-60 minutes. The center of the pie will not look completely set when you remove it from the oven. Cool for 25 minutes. It can be served at room temperature. Just as tasty served cold.

Once again, I hope you and your family enjoy this sweet treat. I look forward to sharing with you next month another new recipe for your friends and family to enjoy. I would also like to share some of your favorite recipes with the community. Please send me some of your favorites to be shared with our readers. Email recipes to: [email protected]
