Calendar

Take some time, make some space for prayer today. We will sing together, participate in a guided meditation and honor some silence. It’s usually all done in a half hour. All are welcome.

A HOPEFUL EARTH:  FAITH, SCIENCE, AND THE MESSAGE OF JESUS is a study of the “creation crisis” as addressed by a Methodist Bishop and her scientific niece.  It provides specific information about our endangered earth as well as Biblical understanding of Jesus message, thereby bringing a spiritual meaning to our understanding of the crisis of planet earth as well as our response.  This Adult Study begins Sunday, January , 8:30 AM. Everybody is invited and welcome.  Study books are available:  see Robbie Martin.

Children (elementary age) & youth (middle & high school) stay for the first 20 minutes or so, then are dismissed to Worship & Wonder and Youth Sunday School. (Nursery provided.)

Worship concludes about 11:00AM, with coffee and fellowship afterward.

Today:

• Micah 6:6-8     Mark 10:35-45
• Sermon: “Whoever Would be Great Among You”
• Mission Moment from Kari Fillmore of Angel Covers

Our Singles group will leave the church at 11:30 today and meet for lunch at Illegal Burger, 15400 W. 64th Avenue.  For questions or more information, please see Ralph Datema

We’ve had a break for Christmas and it’s time to gather again on our every-other-week schedule, starting January 15 at 4:30.

If you’re a quilter or a would-be quilter, you’re welcome to join us for a good time and for a good cause as we tie our quilts. We meet about once a month. The next one is Thursday January 19, from 1pm-3pm. (Gail Goodman or Emogene Meier would be happy to answer any questions you have.)

FYI: The Quilters meet periodically throughout the year.  If you are interested in joining them, please contact the church. Don’t be frightened off by the thought that you don’t know how to quilt, because we are actually just tying the quilts and all you have to do is tie knots. They are small, lap or crib size, usually. We tie several each time and they are usually given to charity or people we know who are ill or disabled or have a new baby. Join us whenever you like.

Common Earth Community Garden Committees are to report on findings of cost estimates for additional plots, brick design, orchard, etc. and discuss for future build out.
