Today's Announcements

Here are announcements shared this morning before worship.

1. Next Sunday, please bring your canned food offerings for the CHAP emergency food bank. As you can imagine, with the economic and employment situations as they are, the food bank is especially important for our community these days. We thank God for the free gift of new life we receive from Jesus by worshiping with our whole lives and that includes what we give to help our neighbor. Thanks to all of you for your help with the food bank!

2. The new adult Sunday School class begins one week from tomorrow. It happens at 7:00 to 8:30pm. We’ll be looking at the New Testament book of Hebrews. Hebrews is a somewhat strange book. But as you delve into it, you’ll learn a lot about the strength God gives in tough times. Call the church office to register for this class.

3. There will be a special meeting for all youth in the sixth through twelfth grades, their parents, and interested adults next Sunday, January 25. The first part of the meeting will deal with the mission trip, happening June 14 to 19. We want to try to get the exact number of those who are going and also answer any questions you may have. That portion of the meeting should last about twenty minutes or so. The rest of the get-together will be practice for the upcoming Bible Bowl. Now, in case you don’t know whether to show up or not, I’ll tell you this: There will be pizza!

4. Thanks to everybody who helped take down the directions last week. You helped make it go quickly and smoothly!
