During Worship Today:
Nursery— For children under five, who must be signed in and picked up with a security tag. Activity bags are provided in the narthex for children remaining in the worship service.
Annual Congregational Meeting,
TODAY immediately following the service. We will hold officer elections, (Bruce Brierly is standing for re-election as a Ruling Elder) present the budget, vote on a change to the pastor’s call, and hear an update from the building committee. A delicious Fellowship Meal will be served immediately afterward.
Youth Group 5:00pm.
January is Sanctity of Human Life Month.
If you or someone you know (male or female) is dealing with the pain of abortion, help is available with Care Net’s Post Abortion Healing Study. (301-662-5300). Even if it has been decades, there is healing, forgiveness, and transformation to be found in the precious blood of Christ. Life is Hope.
It’s Time to start thinking about VBS!
Vacation Bible School Dates are June 16-20, and we need lots of volunteers! Please reach out to Hannah Paugh (hpaugh12@gmail.com) or Megan Kenny (megan8815@gmail.com) if you are interested in volunteering.
Save the Date—Men’s Canoe Trip!
Thursday evening to Saturday, May 15-17 with Downriver Canoe Company on the Shenandoah. Costs and other details will be available in early April. See Rich Rochford with questions.
Youth Group Meals. Please consider blessing our youth with a meal any Sunday. See the signup sheet in the Narthex.
The Anxious Generation, How the great rewiring of childhood is causing an epidemic of mental illness, by Jonathan Haidt.
The leadership feels this book is extremely important, especially for parents of teens and young children, so please procure a copy (on our book table, on Amazon, or free on the Libby app), and join us on Saturday, March 22 from 9am-12pm for discussion. This author speaks from a non-Christian perspective, yet that does not preclude him from important common grace observations.
Men’s Bible Study.
Charlie Van Meter’s group meets every other Tuesday from 12-1pm at the church. In January that will be the 7th and 21st.
