Events for the Week

Hello and good Saturday evening to each of you. I wanted to take a few minutes to update you on some things that will be taking place this week. Remember to mark your calendar so you won't forget!

Tomorrow (2/10/08) will be a busy day for our Minister of Students. The youth committee will meet tomorrow afternoon from 12:15pm-2pm. Then the children's committee will meet from 3:30pm-4:45pm.

The youth will be gearing up to head to SummerSalt at White Oak Conference Center the week of June 23rd-27th. If you would like more information, please see our Minister of Students. He will be happy to assist you.

The newsletter deadline is Friday, Feb. 15th. Please have the items you would like mentioned in the March newsletter turned in by 9am.

The children will be heading to the bowling alley Sat., Feb. 17th. I am sure they will have a memorable time. It has been ages since I've bowled. Was never very good at it. In some instances I would prefer to walk to the end of the alley and knock all the pins over with my hands. It would certainly give me a better score if that was possible. :-) On the other hand, it isn't the winning that matters. It's about having a good time and enjoying the time spent with those in attendance.

Men's breakfast will be held next Sunday, Feb. 16th at 8am in the fellowship hall. All the men of our church are invited to attend. Feel free to invite a male friend who might enjoy a time of food and fellowship with a group of gentleman who love the Lord and their church.

February 22nd marks the WinterJam Concert for our youth. Remember to mark the date on your calendar. For more information, please see our Minister of Students.

The youth will also have SNAC (Sunday Nights after Church) on Sunday, Feb. 24th. Just a reminder.....they do still have the whopper. :-)

Before I forget....choir practice for the youth is held on Monday nights. Practice begins at 6pm. If you know of a young person who would like to join the youth choir, now's a good time to invite them to join you.

It is my understanding that the adult choir has started practicing for the upcoming Easter cantata. As always, I am sure everyone in attendance will receive a blessing. If you would like to be a part of this worship experience with music, choir practice is held each Wednesday night immediately following prayer meeting.

With that thought in mind......Wed. night supper begins at 6pm. Followed by prayer meeting and the other organizational meetings (GA's, Acteens, RA's). This Wed., Feb. 13th will be the churchwide birthday celebration for those having a birthday this month. Everyone is invited to join in the time of food, fun and fellowship.

Don't forget to tell your loved ones (family, friends, etc) how much they mean to you this Thursday. Yes, Valentine's Day is right around the corner. Very hard to believe. It wasn't so long ago we were celebrating Christmas. While Valentine's day is a good time to let those nearest and dearest to you know how much they mean to you........we shouldn't wait for a special occasion to tell others that we love them. Make a point to do so everyday! Your life as well as the lives of those you are a part of will be richly blessed in a whole new way. God doesn't withhold His love for us until a special day and neither should we!

I believe that covers all I have for now. Take care and God bless!

In Christian Love,

Tina :-)
