Verse for Sunday, February 15:
1 John 4:7-8
Dear friends, “Let us love one another,
for love comes from God.” Everyone who
loves has been born of God and knows God.
Whoever does not love does not know God,
because God is love.
Verse for Sunday, February 22:
2 Corinthians 4:18
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen,
but on what is unseen, since what is seen
is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

KidZone Help
As a follow-up to the video shown in church
last week, here is additional information.
KidZone is a community-wide, after-school
program hosted by First Ref. Church that
serves approximately 120 kids. Right now,
KidZone is short of staff, so they are in
urgent need of more volunteer help. Ideally,
they like 15 volunteers every Tuesday and
Thursday from 3:00-5:30 p.m.
There are many ways you can help: serve
snacks, hang out with kids in the rooms for
dress-up or blocks and cars, iron the beads
craft, play games, help with homework, and
supervise the gym. You can choose to be with
the K-1st graders or the 2nd-4th graders.
You can volunteer once a month, twice a
month, once a week, or twice a week. You
can come for an hour or for the full time.
They will work with your schedule! Please
contact Gretchen Bruhn for more information!

Annual Meeting

After her brother dies in a trauma room, nurse
Claire Avery can no longer face the ER. She's
determined to make a fresh start – new hospital, new career. But plans can fall apart.
Disaster Status (Mercy Hospital, book 2)
Charge nurse Erin Quinn escaped turmoil to
work on the peaceful California coast. But when
a hazardous material spill places the hospital on
disaster status, she’s put to the test.
Code Triage (Mercy Hospital, book 3)
Dr. Leigh Stathos likes her ER shifts fast and
furious, with no emotional complications. Life’s
taught her that nothing lasts forever, including
marriage. Then an unwelcome confrontation
with “the other woman” begins a whole new
set of lessons.

One Body, One Hope
Orphan Ministry
in Africa
In the wake of the Ebola crisis,
another crisis is quickly becoming
apparent: thousands of children
have been left orphaned. One Body, One Hope
originated in Sioux Center and has been partnering in Liberia since early 2007, and we have
felt called to respond to this great and growing
need. Christ Our Hope North, a new orphanage
for Ebola orphans has just opened its doors.
We are actively seeking sponsors for the 58
children there, and are eager to partner with
churches, families, and people passionate
about living out the gospel. To learn more, visit
us at www.onebodyonehope.org or email us at
[email protected].
CHANGE SERVICE REQUESTED
Find camp information on the display in the
narthex, or online at www.inspirationhills.org.
Camp Support: Central Church will pay up to
half the cost for a camper (up to $150 per
camper). Please contact the church office with
your children’s camp information to participate. There is also an early-bird discount if
