Is the question to be discussed But feel free to text your Big Deal Questions to 855 949 0099 For more details go to www.bigdealquestions.com Sunday School at 9 am Adult Sunday School Class in the Overflow Room Do you want to have a fuller understanding of what we, as evangelical Christians believe, and how that can, and should, impact our daily lives? What does the whole Bible teach us today? UBC is starting an introductory class on systematic theology and reviewing various biblical doctrines. Knowing what we believe is part of the great commission (Matt.28:19-20) to "....teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you." The framework basis of the class will be Dr. Wayne Grudem's Introduction to Systematic Theology. Randy Matthys and John Howarth will be leading. This Sunday we will be starting with "The Word of God" and the week after will be the "Canon of Scripture" and continuing on. If God has been prompting you to learn more of what you believe then this is the class for you! Children’s Sunday School in the Lower Hall Do you want to learn more about Paul and his miraculous conversion? Come to our children’s Sunday School classes and engage in learning more about Paul and how his life can impact our’s. We would love to study God’s Word with you!

Mission News Morningstar (Beijing, China) Team A team of ladies will be travelling to Beijing, China on February 16th and returning March 1st. Morningstar Family Home is a small foster home in Beijing that cares for critically ill orphans, primarily with heart defects. The team will provide loving care to these precious children as the regular staff at Morningstar will travel to their homes for the Chinese New Year holiday. The team is collecting supplies to take with them. If you would like to donate, there will be a donation box near the mailboxes until February 8th. Supplies for babies: diaper cream liquid multi vitamins vitamin k eczema lotion fever reducer (liquid) Aquafor - vaseline like coconut oil crib sheets nuk soother bottles and nipples hand sanitizer The team would really like to take special gifts for the nannies. They have had a very difficult year with the passing of one baby before Christmas and another going to hospice last week because nothing more could be done. Many babies have left this past year to go to their forever homes and even though this is a good thing, it is still very difficult for the nannies. There are 12 nannies. Some gift ideas for Nannies are: small - medium tops makeup body lotion face cream lipstick gloves scarves socks good water bottles reusable grocery bag We would also like to take a double stroller with us if anyone happens to have one in excellent used condition that they would like to donate! Also, the house manager at Morningstar, Jenny, would like gospel tracts to hand out if anyone would like to help in this way.

It tackles time management, over commitment and the "disease to please" with wisdom from Scripture. Lysa teaches us how to apply the Bible to our daily lives in a transparent, timely way, as we choose what and when to say Yes or No. The Family Project – Part 2 The Family Project is a small-group study that will reveal God’s true nature and intent for our families and renew faith in God’s design through the power of everyday families living in God’s grace and truth – even in the messy brokenness of this life. This study began in the fall session of Celebration. You can easily join the group without having seen the first videos. The Get Yourself Organized Project This group is for those who want to spend their time living and enjoying life rather than organizing their sock drawer. It will look at simple and manageable long-term solutions for organizing any room in one's home (and keeping it that way); strategies for efficient shopping, meal preparation, and cleaning. There will be hands on aspects to this group. The strategies will be drawn from 2 books by Kathi Lipp. Upcoming Events Family Day Pancake Breakfast Sunday, February 15th @ 9 AM PLEASE SIGN UP at the Welcome Desk & indicate how many are attending Volunteers needed to help cook & clean up Please contact Pastor Kathy (Classes are CANCELLED that Sunday) 12 Fruit Trays also needed SERVING IN NURSERY TODAY 10 AM ADULTS HELPERS Luanne Evans Nicole Burns Kandra Jodrey Linda Noble Emily Moore Next Sunday Andrea Fowlow Ruth Moore Joanna Strickland Janet Winder KIDZ EDGE (Sunday School) From JK/SK to Gr. 8 at 9am in lower hall JUNIOR CHURCH (JK & SK), KIDS CONNECT & Gr. 7 & 8 dismissed during the service.
