This Week: Jan. 26th thru Feb. 1st

​** Upcoming Events:

**Action Steps to Share Your Faith

Step 1 - Relationship over Requirement - Galatians 6:2-3 - "Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ. If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important."

Step 2 - Demonstrate It - Matthew 5:16 - "In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father."

Step 3 - Go With Them - Hebrews 10:24-25 - "Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near."

** Pastor Mike will NOT likely be in the office on Wednesday depending upon the doctor's visit. Will let everyone know what happens next. 

** Last Sunday Worship Night - Unfortunately the snowstorm was all day on Sunday and we had to cancel our Last Sunday night worship. We hope that weather improves between now and the end of February.
