Coffee and Chat with Pastor Charlie
 
at Café Kili, Wednesday mornings from 7:30-9:30 a.m.
 
The Evangelism Committee
 
is planning to reach out to the youth in the community by offering van service to church services on Sunday mornings.  We all know that we should grow the youth involvement in the church and this is a way to get it done.  If you are capable of driving, you can help.  Getting on the list of authorized van drivers is simple and easy.  Volunteers will take a simple online course and test and be placed on the driver rotation.  The more volunteers, the better.  If you want to help increase the youth participation in the church by participating in the driver rotation, please contact Mary Tisdale at 813.333.3563.

 

Christian Education
Children's Sunday School begins following the "Time with the Children" during worship.  We are learning about virtues and their connection to God's word.  Children ages Kindergarten and up are welcome.
 
Preschoolers:  Ms. Schaub's Class, Room 3, Education Building.  The Nursery (for infants through age 18 months) is available as needed.

Adult Sunday School concludes today its study of the video series, "Parables", by Ken Bailey.

One of our objectives in adult Sunday School is not only to study the word of God, but to determine how to apply it in our everyday lives.  So, in addition to dipping into the Bible for guidance, we will look at some of the issues facing us today.

One of the criteria Jesus used to separate the sheep from the goats is:  "I was in prison and you visited me."  For two weeks, beginning Feb. 3rd, Lynne Lawson will lead a study as we look at the state of prisons in the United States.  Why is the U.S. prison population growing despite a drop in crime?  How should Christians respond?  Then on Feb. 17th, we will look at the current U.S. debate on the use of torture and formulate a Christian response.

On Feb 24 we will rejoin Kerygma for "A Spiritual Journey Through Holy Week", a five-week exploration, led by Maryann Damonte, of the main texts in each of the four gospels, as well as Paul's writing, that deal specifically with the last week of Jesus' life and with the resurrection.

Wednesday Night Supper Study:  Join us every Wednesday night for an informal Bible study preceded by dinner.  Bring your dinner and enjoy it in the company of good friends.  We have an informal meal at 6:00 p.m., followed by an hour of Bible study.

On Wednesday, January 30th, we began studying the Book of Acts.  Using the congregation-wide self-study of Acts (which will be in your bulletin every Sunday) we will discuss the true meanings of these words of God at a more detailed level.  It is not necessary to be present every week in order to benefit or contribute to this group.  We hope you will join us regularly.

 
Have you celebrated 50 years of marriage?
 
Today we are recognizing and honoring those who have been married for 50 years or more.  Please let the pastor know if you have been married 50 years.
