In order for us to plan for adequate childcare, reservations must b e mad e. Please call o r email the church o ffic e by Wednesday, February 11, to sign up . Ash Wednesday Service The Sounding Board . . . We will observe Ash Wednesday in the fellowship hall on February 18 at 6:15 o’clock. This will involve the entire church family: older children, youth, and adults. The aim of the service will be to encourage self-examination and penitence for sin. The guiding scripture will be Psalm 139:23-24: “Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” I have come to believe that the Protestant reformers - Luther, Calvin, et al. -, in rejecting certain corruptions and doctrines of Roman Catholicism, may have triggered an over-reaction against the seasons of the Christian year (Advent, Lent, Pentecost, etc.). Now, centuries later, we find ourselves reclaiming worthy parts of the Christian year. We seek to be wise, thoughtful, and above all, biblical in what we reclaim. Do you remember that enigmatic word of Jesus?: “Every Scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the master of a household who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.” (Matthew 13:52) It is in that spirit that I am willing to both innovate and reclaim.

Your generosity resulted in $1545 in donations for the children’s and youth ministries. We are grateful also to Publix, WalMart, Sam’s, and West Rome IGA for their generosity to our efforts. Many of the youth and children’s parents provided much blood, sweat & tears in cooking, decorating and clean-up. Master Chef honors go to Heather McDonald for the delicious spaghetti sauce. It’s wonderful when the church body works together! Special Needs help needed! Many of our special needs volunteers have become physically unable to assist Stephanie during the 11 a.m. worship hour. Please consider helping us in this important area of church ministry. Attention Sr. Adults... Call the church office or contact Jan Phillips (706-506-6185) if you can help!
