Ladies' Morning Bible Study
Ladies, We would love to have you join us on Wednesday mornings at 9:45 for our Ladies Bible Study.
Have you ever noticed how often we introduce ourselves by using the phrase "I am"? Are we telling people who we are or what it is that we do? We will be studying the "I Am's" of Jesus: I AM that I AM, I AM the Light of the World, I AM the Resurrection and the Life, I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life, I AM the Good Shepherd and the Door, I AM the True Vine, I AM the Bread of Life; concluding with All that "I AM," "I AM for You! This 8-week study will help you to better understand through word pictures who Jesus really is and what He is really like. Hope you can come!
Any
questions - please call Pat Sharpe
Ladies' Evening Bible Study
The Ladies' evening Bible study will begin a study of Colossians on January 26, meeting at church each Thursday from 7 to 9 pm, using Kathleen Nielson's study guide (see link below to preview the table of contents and sample chapter). Please sign up in the narthex if you plan to come, to estimate the number of books needed. Friends and neighbors are welcome! Call Ruth Werner with any questions.

Care for Our Servicemen
There are APO boxes (special marked boxes for sending goodies to our soldiers) left over from our recent love/care package project. If anyone would like a box to fill for a soldier please ask Sandy or Carol for one. These boxes are such an encouragement for our men and women as they sometimes must endure hardships we can't begin to imagine so that we might enjoy the freedoms we so love.
Used Cell Phones
Soldiers like to 'phone home'. There is an organization that collects used cell phones, refurbishes them and then sends them to troops overseas so they can make those uplifting, precious calls to their loved ones. If you have a cell phone you don't know what to do with, but it's too good to trash, there is a bag on a table in the foyer to collect those phones. It is clearly marked. Several phones can go in a bag and be sent together. Thank you for considering this use for your old phone.
