The 2019 flower calendar has been posted on the bulletin board in the back hallway by the mailboxes. Please feel free to sign up for any dates available. Discover the God who cherishes you. Jennifer Rothschild has a story for you. It s about an unlikely couple, an unusual courtship, and an illicit affair. But the marriage didn t end, instead, a love story began. It s Hosea and Gomer s love story and it is your love story. When you re looking for identity, God calls you His own. When you feel enslaved, God frees you. When you wander away, God brings you home. No matter where you are, God sees who you are and loves you faithfully. His unfailing love changes everything. Ladies, please join us each Wednesday from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. beginning Wednesday, January 16, through Wednesday, February 27, 2019 for Jennifer Rothschild s study Hosea: Unfailing Love Changes Everything.

7 HELP SEND OUR KIDS AND YOUTH TO CAMP It costs about $60 per day or $300 for the 5-day experience to send a kid to CentriKids or FUGE camps. The 3 rd -5 th graders stay on campus for all their experiences including worship, bible study, and activities! In addition to worship & bible study, most of the middle & high school campers go off campus 3 days to do mission work which they all say is very rewarding experience whether they work with kids or work in the construction field. Please consider donating to the CAMP FUND today! Thank you for investing in the kids! On Tuesday, January 8, 2019, we will begin a new Bible study titled Entrusted which is a six-session study of 2 Timothy. In this study by Beth Moore, you will be encouraged to guard what God has entrusted to you, further His kingdom by sharing Christ with others, and pour into future generations just as Paul once mentored Timothy. We were never meant to take this journey of faith alone or in secret. God has entrusted us with the great and mighty gift of the gospel, something too precious and life-giving to keep to ourselves. The study will be held each Tuesday, January 8 through February 12 at 6:30pm in Conference Room #2. All ladies are invited to join us for this study. Please indicate on the back of the attendance sheet by December 30. We look forward to having you join us. M.Y. Heart's ministry is collecting supplies to make blessing bags for the homeless. These items include such things as pocket Bibles, travel shampoos, conditioners, soap, and other necessities. A green bin is located under the mailboxes in the hallway behind the sanctuary and in the narthex. A list of other items are located on the flyer at these collection bins. If you have questions about this new outreach, Julie Love at jaxandcb@yahoo.com. Current need: Cold weather items such as toboggan hats, scarfs, thick socks, thermal underwear or white undershirts for men, and gloves. Hot hands also work well. The January Fountain is now published and available on the church website Newsletters/Bulletins.
