GMC–"Parenting 101:From Toddlers to TeensGod commands us to love our neighbors, and
while we don’t often think of them this way,
our children are our neighbors too! At the
same time, parenting is hard whether you are
struggling with the terrible 2’s or the terrible
teens. In this class we will be talking about
parenting ideas that will help you improve
your relationship with your children, engage
their cooperation, and increase their selfcontrol, self-discipline, and self-esteem.
ADULTS-Psalms-A study based on the book of
Psalms.
MOSAICs-This class is mostly made up of
adults in the 30-40 age bracket. Various

YOUNG ADULTS- This class is mostly made

class setting that helps them grow in their

Lutheran Heritage-A look at the Augsburg
Confession, and its application for young
adults today.

IN THE LIBRARY….Come by the Messiah Library and start the New Year with a good
book. There are Christian Novels, Children’s Books, Religion Reference Books, and books
by acclaimed Christian authors to encourage us. Author Mark Batterson brings imagination,
energy and insight in two of his books, WILD GOOSE CHASE, Reclaim the Adventure
of Pursuing God, and IN A PIT WITH A LION ON A SNOWY DAY, How to survive
and thrive when opportunity roars. Read about ten principles, first articulated by a
student at Harvard in the 1960’s and since then, quoted, circulated and appropriated by
countless people- politicians, civic and religious leaders, businesspeople, students, and
nonprofit organization. They were taped to computer monitors, refrigerator doors and to the
walls of Mother Teresa’s children’s home in Calcutta. The book is ANYWAY, The
Paradoxical Commandments, Finding Personal Meaning in a Crazy World written by Kent M. Keith about
his commandments, the philosophy behind them, and stories that bring them to life.

CONGRATULATIONS to The NETWORK of Community Ministries- Richardson, TX

NETWORK's President, Chris Barnes: After 30 years of service, I am looking forward to 30 more for this
extraordinary local charity. Right now, NETWORK is on the threshold of exciting progress for the future! Come by
to visit our facility and take a tour. I promise, you will be hooked on the Mission of NETWORK. We "care, coach
and empower our neighbors in need as they seek an improved quality of life." What an amazing thing.

Be a NETWORK Deliver! You can help deliver the food collected in our grocery carts when they become full. If
interested please send me an email at [email protected] and I will add you to our rotation schedule and let

insecure” families who don’t know from where they will get their next meal. The NETWORK food Pantry depends
on donations to provide the food distributed every single day. 90% of those we seek to help will receive food
before leaving our facility, regardless of our ability to help in other ways. www.thenetwork.org

the North Dallas/Richardson area. Our Meals on Wheels Ministry could use more volunteers! Want to be more

HEARTS FOR LUTHERAN WORLD RELIEF-When disasters happen, Lutheran
World Relief responds with immediate aid. During the month of February, we are
gathering health care and baby supplies for shipping to their warehouse in
March. If you want to help, please pick up a pink paper heart from one of the
baskets at the LWML table or the collection table by the Chapel. Bring back the
items listed on the heart no later than Sunday, March 1st, to the collection area by
the Chapel. This is just one more way our members make a difference in our community and the
world!
