Just a reminder that we’ll post on the City and church website if any changes will be made to scheduled church activities, especially with the snow season upon us. Please remember to check these before you come to church! Because we have so many people who live in areas where the roads get icy and don’t get cleared, we often decide to cancel Sunday services. Our staff tries to make the call by 7:30am on those Sunday mornings when snow has fallen or is predicted to fall during the worship times.
Would you like to bless Ivaylo & Martina with meals? See the schedule at TakeThemAMeal, password is “martina.”

This is the last week to sign up for the ladies Bible study starting January 10 on Believing God by Beth Moore, delving into the character of God. We will follow the Life Group schedule for two 10-week sessions and will have two weeks per lesson so the homework won’t be overwhelming. Childcare if needed is available at no cost to you. See the flyer for details this Sunday and sign up on the City or at the table at the back of the sanctuary.
