Coat Drive: The adult Sunday School Class is sponsoring a
coat drive for the month of January. As we make resolutions for the New Year,
we thought it might be a nice time to "de-clutter" our closets by
gathering our unused or gently used coats and sweaters to donate to our
brothers and sisters in need. We feel that this would be a way to demonstrate
God's love to others. Coats may be left
on the side bench at the front of the church.
January 20th, Today:
Immediately following the 10:30 AM worship service Club 4:12 will have
lunch and go bowling. Children will need
to bring spending money for the bowling alley.
Children’s Worship: For 2013 a “helper” is needed for the 4th Sunday of the month. Please contact Wendy Eller if you interested in helping.
Scripture for next week: Matthew
5:23-24; 18:21-22
Forgiving: “Making it a Priority
But Knowing It Takes Patience”

Heifer Project: On Sunday, February 17th, we will pass out the Heifer Project banks. This is our Lenten mission project. We encourage everyone to participate. Last year we raised $3,213.90 with which we purchased 2 flocks of geese; 2 flocks of chicks; 2 heifers; 1 camel; 1 water buffalo; 2 llamas; 2 goats; 2 sheep; 1 group of tree seedlings; 1 trio of rabbits; and 4 honey bee hives. Since we started participating in this program in 2003, we've raised $14,024.04 for this important ministry. Wow!
Heifer Project
Reading Program: We will be adding some new books
to the United Methodist's Women's bookshelf in the Sunday School hallway.
We hope all our youth will find a book and learn more about farming, where our
food comes from, and how we can all be better stewards of God's good creation.
Lenten Bible Study: On the Road with
Jesus: Birth and Ministry: Travel to the Holy Land with New Testament scholar Ben Witherington and experience the birth and ministry of Jesus
in this four-session video study. Filmed throughout the
places Jesus walked and dwelt among us, On the Road with Jesus, with
Dr. Witherington's knowledge and perspective, will
help you see God's grace at work and bring us back to lives of true meaning and
purpose. As believers see places such as Bethlehem, Nazareth, the Sea of
Galilee, the Jordan River, and more, our faith will be deepened while following
along the paths Jesus journeyed during his world-changing life and ministry.
Dates: Class starts on Thursday, February
21st and runs for four weeks
