Off to a Good Start!

Hello and good Saturday evening to each of you reading this blog. I am happy to say that 2008 has started off on a good note. We all have many things to be thankful for. God has blessed us richly with food, shelter, family, friends, jobs, transportation......and the list goes on and on. I wanted to take a few minutes to remind you of some things taking place over the next week.

The deacons will be meeting tomorrow morning (1/6/08) at 8am. We will be observing the Lord's supper during the morning worship hour tomorrow. A wonderful way to start a new year reflecting on all that God has done for us and to review our relationships with our family and friends and most importantly with God.

Wednesday, Jan. 9th will kick off the monthly birthday celebration. If you or someone you know is celebrating a birthday this month, make sure you are in attendance (or bring the friend or family member with you) this Wednesday. A special birthday cake will be provided to honor those and their special day. Happy birthday to each of you celebrating a birthday this month. May God continue bless you on this birthday as well those birthdays yet to come!

There will be a Youth Committee Meeting tomorrow (see our Minister of Students for more information).

The children will be venturing out next Saturday (Jan. 12th) to see the "Veggietales: Pirates Who Don't do Anything" movie.

The first quarterly conference of 2008 will take place next Sunday, Jan. 13th during the morning worship hour.

January 4th marked the first Friday that the gym was open. If you or another young person would like to take part in the fun, remember to mark the date on your calendar. The gym will be open the first Friday of each month from 6-9pm.

My hope and prayer for each of you this new year is for God to meet each of your needs as only He can. He always has our best interests at heart. He is not a Father wanting to see His children suffer. We bring that on ourselves. May this year be one of good health, Christian love and peace.

Until next time, take care and God bless!

In Christian Love,

Tina :-)
