They are leaving February 15 and returning on the 25. Please keep them in your prayers as they prepare for the trip and during the trip itself.
MILESTONE (92 YEARS YOUNG) A milestone will be reached by Ray Dennis on Thursday, January 21. To help him celebrate that milestone, his 92nd birthday, a reception for him will be held today, 3-5 pm in the Fellowship Hall. The congregation is invited to come and share this special day with him. God is Good All the Time!
BETH MOORE Ladies, mark your calendars. A Beth Moore simulcast, “So Long, Insecurity,” will be here at the church. If you have questions, see Imy Poteet.
IMPACT WEEKENDS! IMPACT weekends are almost here! All 4 weekends will take place in February instead of being stretched out over the year. Block off these few days for a time of learning and growing. For more information, visit the booth in the lobby.
IMPACT PRICE HAS BEEN CUT! After a time of prayer with IMPACT Leadership, we agree that our foremost desire is to see more people benefit from the teachings so they can experience life change. We have been looking for ways to drop the price so it is more affordable. So we are dropping the early bird price down from $80 to $50/person for the ENTIRE course (that is $12.50 per weekend)! Instead of providing each person lunch on Saturday’s, we ask each person to bring their own lunch or pick up food at one of the nearby restaurants. We will continue to provide light refreshments, basic class notes, and challenging teachings, but overall there will be less emphasis on food for the body and more for the soul. If you want to attend the IMPACT Weekends, today is the day to sign up in the lobby.
LIVING WATER RANCH The 13th annual prayer and fasting retreat for junior and senior high students is fast approaching. It will be March 15-17th (Monday-Wednesday). The cost is $95, the early bird rate is $85 if you pay by Sunday, March 7th (no exceptions). Please start praying now for the group that will be going.
CONSENT FORMS 2010 consent forms are available at the kiosk today. There will be notary publics available to notarize the forms. They are required for your child(ren) to go to LWR and any other activities throughout this year.
FINANCIAL PEACE UNIVERSITY The new 12 week FPU course begins Sunday, Feb. 7th from 1:30-3:30 and will end on Sunday, May 2. Keith and Carol Noe will have a sign up table set up after church. There will be a preview of the course, after service in the Fellowship Hall, January 31.
