January has been a great month talking about the LIFE Jesus came to bring. Last week talking about the Worth-ship of God... living life in light of its center was a high point for me. I pray it was for you as well.

 

I'm looking forward to this Sunday for two reasons (neither of which involves a football):

  1. This week we begin a four part series on our core values. It starts with CONVICTION. We are people of The Book. You might want to read Ps. 119 in preparation.
  2. At 12:15 we gather in Fellowship Hall for a town meeting. We're going to hear from the search committee (and they WANT to hear from you). Tim is going to update you on a few of the good things we see happening. I am going to spend a few minutes talking about where I think God is leading us in the months ahead. You REALLY want to be a part of this gathering. We're running it like a Pre-Funk (ask your kids).  We WILL be done in plenty of time to make the super bowl, and I hear the food is going to be great.

See you Sunday.

Town Hall Meeting & Super Bowl Pre-Funk THIS SUNDAYHot Dog clipart

 

We will be gathering immediately after second service this Sunday for our Town Hall Meeting and Super Bowl Pre-Funk! There will be lots of food (hot dogs with all the trimmings, chips & salsa, root beer keg, etc.) The plan is to start serving at 12:15 and the meeting portion should start by 12:45. Stick around after church for some great fellowship.

 

Offering Statements 

 

You can pick up your offering statements for 2011 this Sunday morning. They will be available in the Library between services and immediately after 2nd service.  

 

Friday Fun Night - Volunteers Needed 

 

Talk about a fun feet-to-faith opportunity! We need a team to make our Friday Fun Night festive for our kids. The theme is Valentine's Day. We will be decorating between 11am and 2pm on Friday, February 10. Let's put our best feet forward! Contact Pastor Julie to see how you can help.

Have you ever wanted to offer hospitality to some of those women and children who have to sleep in cars or ride the bus to find a safe place to sleep at night? Please offer to serve at the Family Shelter at MICC as we partner with Mary's Place. We need food, drivers, evening hosts and overnight hosts.
