WEEKLY ANNOUNCEMENTS SEE WHATS COMING UP!!!
Announcements 1-14-24
Announcements:
ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL: Join us on Sunday Mornings at 9:15 AM for Adult Sunday School. Relationships are often difficult; and so is forgiveness. How do we deal with broken relationships? How can we forgive? As we explore the story of the prodigal son, we will explore the Bible’s advice on healing broken relationships.
PROJECT REGENERATION: The session and Deacons will be engaging in a discussion with the Presbyterian Foundation using the book ‘Sailboat Church.’ If you are interested in this discussion or would like to read along with us, please let Aaron know.
PLAYSCHOOL FUNDRAISER: It’s time for the playschool Little Caesar Fundraiser. Grab a brochure from the table in the narthex, with instructions. Then order some delicious treats.
CHOIR RETURNS: The choir starts weekly rehearsals again today! Join us after the service until 1 pm for rehearsal. The choir will return to services on January 28th.
DEVOTIONALS FOR LENT AND EASTER: Get yourself ready for Lent by ordering your devotional now. Here is this week’s suggestion: Lent of Liberation: Confronting the Legacy of American Slavery by Cheri L. Mills. This Lenten devotional invites readers to learn more about the brutal institution of slavery and its impact on Black people in America and recognize how its evolution and legacy continue to harm their descendants in the United States today. Each of the forty devotions includes the testimony of a person who escaped slavery through the Underground Railroad, a Scripture passage, and a reflection connecting biblical and historical themes to challenge modern readers to work for liberation. Reflecting on Lenten themes of exodus, redemption, discipline, and repentance, readers, both Black and White, will be empowered for the work of racial justice.
CLOTHING DRIVE: We are doing a clothing drive for Program of Hope. We are looking only for these specific items: men’s t-shirts and sweatshirts size XL or larger, men’s pants, and men’s shoes. We will be collecting clothing until Jan 31st when we will have a sorting party.
ZOOM BOOK STUDY: We plan on continuing the weekly Zoom book studies after the new year. Please fill out the form in the bulletin to let us know your preferences for the start date and book to study. The study will remain on Thursdays from 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM.
