3 Chinese New Year Outreach The Chinese New Year celebration is on Friday, February 9 from 5:00-8:30 p.m. Last year we expected people but received instead. For hundreds of them, it was the first time they set foot in a church and heard the Gospel! We now have an ongoing Asian ministry Bible study and English lessons at our church every Sunday. We ask you to attend, support, and pray for this event as part of our church body. Think of this as a mini-mission trip and the Great Commission at work. You can experience entirely different cultures, food, and performances while sharing Christ through extending love and hospitality to our Asian community right around us. Our invitation cards and tickets are now available at the Welcome Center. We are selling tickets this year to help cover costs of an amazing dinner provided by Chou s Kitchen, and also to limit the number of guests for logistic reasons. Buy your tickets early as they will sell out fast, and invite your Asian friends, neighbors, and co-workers to our fun outreach event. Pastor Mike will present a short Gospel message. Contact Dibin Lassila with any questions. Chinese New Year Kids Fashion Show Wanted: Cute kids and cultural costumes!

How can you test whether you are in the faith or not? John 15:3-4, James 3: What is the source of real fruit and what are some examples in James of real fruit? Why do we think we can produce fruit in and of ourselves? How do you walk in the Spirit? Give some concrete illustrations! John 15:8. What is the final result of real fruit?
