*The Essential Question Challenge - Have you ever asked yourself, “What difference am I making with my life?” On some level, we all struggle to find our own answer to that question as we search for meaning and significance in life. With that question in mind, we invite you to join us as we begin The Essential Question Challenge on January 10th, 2016. The Essential Question Challenge is a journey through the book of Acts that builds on the question the Apostle Paul asked, “What shall I do, Lord?” (Acts 22:10). This 10-week Bible reading experience will help you see that God has a mission for all of his people—whether it’s to serve him faithfully in the marketplace, in the home, in school, in the military or someplace else. There will be five readings each week and a Sunday morning sermon on the main idea of those readings. We will also have small group meetings throughout the week to discuss what we are learning as we read through Acts. Our prayer is that God will speak to each of us and help us discover how He is leading us to make a difference in our church, community and world. If you are interested in leading or co-leading a small group during this series, please contact Pastor Dan.
*Couple’s Fellowship - The Couples Fellowship group will meet on Sunday, January 17th from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m. There will be a light supper and a time of fellowship in the Heritage Room. Sign up in the church office. All couples are welcome!
*2016 church council members - Jim Keune, Sandy Amundson, Cheryl Krage, Carol Solberg, Bill Stockton, LaVerne Paulson, Deb Ebner, Kim Ristau and Diane Carr will be installed this morning during our worship service. We want to express our gratefulness to each of them for their willingness to serve in this capacity, and also to Andy Bunge, Brenda Reicks and Scott Wilson who have finished their council terms.
Please keep in your prayers…
