Starting Sunday, January 24 (5:30-7:00 p.m. including a meal), our church is offering a new 10 week class called Beginnings: An Introduction to the Christian Faith. Designed for those who have curiosity, questions, or struggles with faith, this class will also be helpful to believers who may not have as solid a foundation as they would like. You may have people in your family, neighbors, or friends who might benefit from a course like this. Please encourage them to join us. We also are looking for people to be a part of the team to facilitate the class, including helpers, cooks, volunteer childcare, prayer support, and more.

Register or volunteer by contacting the church office at [E-MAIL] or 672-6722. You may also contact the class leaders via e-mail for more information:

RENEWAL OF MARRIAGE VOWS NEXT SUNDAY
During our services next Sunday morning (Valentine’s Day), all married couples will have the opportunity to renew their marriage vows. You are encouraged to sign up on the clipboard in the narthex. We hope you will use this opportunity to invite your unchurched neighbors, family members, and friends to join us in renewing their vows in worship. It’s a great way to reach out!

REMEMBERING SWEETHEARTS WHO HAVE PASSED ON
Many of you have lost your spouse, making Valentine’s Day bittersweet. Next Sunday, those who are widows or widowers will be invited to light a candle to demonstrate that your love still burns for your beloved.
