This Week: Feb. 2nd thru Feb. 8th

** Upcoming Events:

**Action Steps to Remember What God Has Done

Step 1: Remember His Deeds: Psalm 77: 11-12 - "But then I recall all you have done, O Lord; I remember your wonderful deeds of long ago. They are constantly in my thoughts. I cannot stop thinking about your mighty works."
Step 2: Remember His Faithfulness in Times of Trouble: Deuteronomy 8:2 - "Remember how the Lord your God led you through the wilderness for these forty years, humbling you and testing you to prove your character, and to find out whether or not you would obey his commands."
​
Step 3: Remember His Grace: 2 Corinthians 12:9 - "Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me."

** Pastor Mike will NOT likely be in the office on Wednesday depending upon weather and therapy visits. It will be a tough week to put it all together. Will let everyone know what happens next.
