SUNDAY MORNING BIBLE STUDY RESUMES!
Beginning this Sunday, January 15th, our Sunday Morning Bible Study starts up again! Gerald MacDicken will be continuing the series: “How Happiness Happens.” In this study, Max Lucado shares an unexpected path to lasting happiness and joy. Based on the teachings of Jesus, this study challenges us to upset the apple carts of discontent and gloom in our lives by bringing happiness to those around us. What are we waiting for? Let’s open the unexpected door to joy and walk in! See you on Sunday, January 15th, at 8:45 a.m.
MUG ‘N MUFFIN ON WEDNESDAYS!
Ladies, please join us on Wednesdays to study God’s Word and pray together! We meet each week from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall. We are studying the Gospel of Luke, one chapter each week, using the NavPress Life Change booklet. You are welcome to choose your personal level of engagement—from just showing up on Wednesdays to deeply exploring the text. See you on Wednesday! — Ruth Hill

SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE SUNDAY JANUARY 22!
Next Sunday, January 22, is Sanctity of Human Life Sunday (SOHLS). This is a day of observance held every year on the Sunday closest to the anniversary of Roe v Wade. On this day, churches and parachurch organizations across the nation come together to stand and proclaim the Sanctity of Human Life. During our service on the 22nd, a representative from CareNet of Puget Sound will share impactful ways that we as a church can support individuals and families facing unexpected pregnancies. We look forward to observing the value of human life together on January 22nd!

Reminder to Keep the Heat In! With the onset of cold weather, the church building’s heat is on. In order to keep our boiler system from breaking down, we cannot prop outside doors open during the winter months.
ON THE LIGHTER SIDE…
When a child doesn’t know the answer but has a great imagination…
A teacher asked, “Who defeated the Philistines?” A boy from New York City replied, “If they don’t play the Mets, I don’t keep track of them.”
Another teacher asked, “Why do you suppose we no longer offer burnt offerings to God?” A child responded, “Air pollution.”
