It was much appreciated by us and the many seniors. May God continue to bless each of you as you seek to serve Him. KEMC Organizational Paper Update The Church Executive has reviewed and revised the Organizational Paper for our church in the last couple of months. This paper describes how we organize ourselves; what we do and why we do it in brief. Paper copies of the new document will be available at the reception desk. If you would like to compare the new with the old, please contact Ang by email ([email protected]) for an Ecopy. If you prefer, you may request a 20 page paper copy. This document will be discussed at the next membership meeting in March. Liane Morran is organizing a collection of dry goods and assorted groceries to be delivered to a Native reserve in northern Manitoba at the end of February. As a church family, we have the opportunity to bless some of our fellow Manitobans who often struggle to afford even the most basic of needs. Some of the groceries needed are frozen meats, potatoes, flour, sugar, pork and beans, canned soups, etc. Clothing, linens and towels are also welcome. Another way to help is to pray. Some requests are: 1. Pray for Liane’s health to be good enough for her to make the trip, if that is God’s will for her to go. (If she can't make the trip, she has someone else who will go in her stead.) 2. Pray that they would be an encouragement to those they serve. 3. Pray that God would prepare the hearts of people and bring them to the Christian conference that they are planning to have on the reserve some time this month. (The goal is to start up an Evangelical Christian church on the reserve) 4. Pray that the ice roads to other communities remain open so that they will be able to reach more people in other reserves. Donations can be dropped off in Liane's entrance with frozen goods put in her outside freezer. Other Announcements Dessert Night Fundraiser: Featuring Glory Bound.

Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. 8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 9 Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 11 If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever.
