Undeck the Christmas Decorations – Please come join us Sunday, Jan 6, around 1:30 to undeck all the church decorations and store them away for another year. The Altar Guild would greatly appreciate your assistance even if you can only help for even an hour.
TODAY IS MITE BOX SUNDAY. As we head toward the end of the 2017–2019 biennium (ending soon) for our Mission MITE goal of $2 million we have been issued a challenge to raise $200 in MITES this week so each zone can give a big push to our Iowa District West at the board meeting on January 23–26, 2019. Please help as we bring Salvation, Hope, and Healing too those in need in Iowa and in the world. Drop a little extra in the MITE BOX today.
Parent Study Starting Sunday, January 13, we will start a NEW parent study during the education hour (9:45-10:45) in the “Parent Lounge” in the basement. Matt and Janelle Wegner will guide parents through “Gospel Centered Family”. If you would like to join this group please speak with either Matt and Janelle Wegner or Thomas Wilson.
The Book to Know group will meet Jan. 17th, 7:00 pm, at Karen Griffin’s home to discuss “A Light to My Path” by Lynn Austin. Everyone is invited to read this book and join us for the discussion.
Trivia Night/ Silent Auction- This Saturday, January 12th we will be hosting our next National Youth Gathering fundraiser: Trivia Night and Silent Auction. Doors open at 5:30 with the first round starting at 6:00 PM! We still have tables available for purchase, so if you are not on a team and interested in participating get some friends and family together (up to 8 people!) and come have some fun and fellowship! Tables are only $100 (that’s only $12.50 per person). If you have any questions on the Trivia Night please see DeAnn and Jeff Barnes, Matt and Janelle Wegner, or Thomas Wilson. Prior to the Trivia starting and throughout the night we will have our Silent Auction running (some items are on display today along with a list of available items for the auction in the Narthex). If you have questions on the Silent Auction please contact Carla Murphy or Thomas Wilson. This is a great way to help support the participants of the National Youth Gathering as they prepare for the gathering in Minneapolis this July!
LYF EVENT- Our next LYF event will be Wednesday, January 9th from 5:30 to 8:00. We will first eat pizza at church and then head to Perfect Games. Parents should pick up the kids from Perfect Games at 8:00. Permission forms due TODAY to Stephanie Taylor or the office!
Needed: The men’s homeless shelter needs men’s white socks, underwear, and work gloves. This is a fun way to get something you know will be used. Please place items in the HOPE container in the east entryway.
Family Service Quilters will meet Thursday, Jan. 10th, for a Thrivent Action Team Event from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. Wear your Thrivent T-Shirts, bring a sack lunch and join us.
God has given us the greatest gift of all, His Son, our Savior. Would you like to give the gift of flowers? The 2019 Flower Chart is posted on the bulletin board. All of January is currently open.
Midweek classes will resume January 9.
