LADIES BIBLE STUDY:
New Study Starts Tuesday January 7th, 9:30 am
Join us for this 7– session study to challenge the way you read the accounts of Jesus through teaching videos that take you to locations in Israel like Bethlehem, the Sea of Galilee, Gethsemane, Jerusalem, and the road to Emmaus.
MEN OF VALOR:
Men, circle Tuesday’s January 14 and 28. It is on these evenings we will meet in the Annex to explore together these questions pertinent to our masculine spiritual journey. Notice: all meetings in 2025 will be held on the second and fourth Tuesdays. We begin with food at 6:00; we take up our interaction/discussion time at 6:30. Make a commitment to journey with other men as we become God’s Might Men of Valor in this age.
SURRENDERING THE SECRET:
Healing the heartbreak of abortion—many women hide the facts of their abortion and suffer the consequences of their guilt and shame in isolation. There is an opportunity to work through those challenges—over eight sessions of personal bible study, women will learn to slowly release the burden of hidden pain to discover freedom in the redemptive story of God. If you or someone you know is interested in exploring this further, you are encouraged to contact Cami at 541-969-8350. Everything is completely confidential and thoroughly caring.
COLLEGE & MILITARY BOXES:
Begins Sunday January 5th and runs throughout January. Be watching for updates and ideas on how we can bless our Military Personnel and College Students this year!
DE-DECORATE:
With the holidays in the rear view mirror it is necessary for us to put away all our decorations until next year. We set aside Sunday, January 5 after the Table Talk hour (Noon) to de-decorate our worship center. Please join us as many hands will make the workload lighter. In reality, we find that we are finished with the task in short order!
MEN’S BREAKFAST:
The holidays are now diminishing in our rear-view mirror, and we are setting the course for 2025. This is a great opportunity for us to pause, reflect, and regard the plans and purposes that God has in store for us as we seek to love and serve Him. Men of all ages are invited to join together for the first Men’s Breakfast of the New Year—Saturday, January 11, and 7:30 am. Come as you are, bring a guest, and start the day off with a huge dose of encouragement. We look forward to seeing you there!
ANNUAL MEETING CELEBRATION:
Our Annual Meeting is scheduled Sunday, January 19 (after Worship Service) and we are planning a great day of celebration. The flow of our morning together looks like this: we will share how God shaped and used our unique place in His ministry, how the body of Christ and the community around us has changed, and the many ways that we were blessed in and through this fellowship of believers. After the worship time we will meet for a few minutes to vote on the matters that our constitution requires. Your input is valuable during this time: asking questions, giving feedback, detailing financial obligations, and setting a course for the next twelve months. A potluck lunch follows the meeting. Please plan now to join us for this once a year, incredibly important gathering! Please bring 2 items for the potluck: Every family please bring a Main dish, and a Side or a Dessert. We hope to see you there.
PRAYER GATHERING:
Prayer is a significant privilege and responsibility in our journey with Christ. We have set aside the third Sunday evening of each month to simply meet and pray. Please join us Sunday, January 19 at 6:00pm—No agenda or “program”, just time praying as the body of Christ.
