Hey folks – Hope you were able to enjoy the New Year with your family. We had a good time with ours. I wanted to give you a heads up on a couple of things.
First of all – even though Awana is cancelled for tonight (Wednesday), we WILL be having our Adult Bible Study. We’re studying the book from Max Lucado – Facing Your Giants. It’s a fascinating study on the life of David. We are currently in Chapter 9 - “Plopping Points” – a great chapter about how to deal with the times when we feel ready to quit and just can’t go on. If you’re currently involved in Awana as a worker, I’d love to have you join us at 6:00pm (a half-hour earlier than usual)! We’ll also take time to pray for our church and the ministry here. Please come!
Second – I wanted to THANK YOU for helping us to finish the year financially strong! Because of some generous year-end gifts, we were able to finish $3,500 above our needed budget (that’s quite something considering we were almost $5,000 behind)! Several local churches are struggling financially because of the weak Michigan economy. Because of our faithful God and your generosity, we were able to meet all of our obligations and even have some money in reserve.
Third – Our Nomination Committee has finalized the list of those who have agreed to serve (if elected) on our various committees and offices. I wanted to include that list in this email (it is also posted on the bulletin board in the foyer). Please pray for these individuals and consider who you would like to see serve in these positions. At our Annual meeting on Jan 27th, we will vote for those who will serve. Thanks to those who have agreed to serve the Lord in this way!
