COLLEGE CARE PACKAGES
We are collecting supplies for the Care Packages for our college students. There is a tub for supplies by Brad’s office in the back hallway. If you have questions or would like to help, see Linda Gooch. Deadline is Feb. 23.
IN NEED OF TEACHERS
Thank you to all the teachers who spend their time and efforts in this important ministry. We are always looking for more teachers, especially now for Spring Quarter. If you have any interest at all, or have questions about how you can get involved, see Angel Baker, Sally McDiffitt or Darla Yazombek. Even if you’ve never taught, it is a great way to serve, and a very important ministry.
IN SEARCH OF THE LORD’S WAY
Some define wisdom as the art of living successfully in life. The wisdom that comes from God, however, is the wisdom we most need. Wisdom begins with God and one’s faith in Christ as Lord and Savior.
Next week’s lesson by Phil Sanders is, “Be Wise?” The program can be seen locally every Sunday, 7:30a.m. on WTRF-TV, Ch. 7.
