Evening Service at 6 pm will be held at our church for the month of January. Tonight Nate & Friends will lead in a hymn sing reflecting on the songs of the faith. Invite a friend to this special service.

Noisy Offering ~ The Sunday School children appreciate your giving to the Noisy Offering each Sunday morning. Your
“pocket change” adds up. For the months of January and February the Sunday School will be giving the “pocket change” to Love INC to help those in need right here in Hamilton and Allegan County.

GRACE 360 Youth Group will meet on Wednesday, January 16 at 6:30 pm in the youth room. We will have a lesson on Money from Matthew 6:19-21:24.

Bible Study will meet this Wednesday, January 16 at 6:30 pm in the fellowship hall. We will continue our study of the Mission of Jesus from the RVL series.

Chili Cook-Off and Bread Bake-Off will take place on Wednesday, January 23 in the fellowship hall. From 5:30 – 6:30 pm
everyone will be taste testing the chili and bread entries. At 6:30 pm the trophies will be presented to the “best chili” and “best bread” of Hamilton CRC. If you would like to enter your chili and/or bread sign-up at the Welcome Table today. Entry guidelines are also available at the Welcome Table. We need more entries for this fun night.

CD’s ~ If anyone would be interested in delivering CD’s to our home church family please contact Lori in the church office. A few members who are unable to attend church would like to receive a CD of the morning services.

Nominations for the office of elder and deacon will be made at the Council meeting on Monday, January 21. If you have
someone you would like considered to either of these offices, give your suggestion to any Elder or Deacon.

Yearbook 2019 ~ If you would like to order a Christian Reformed Church Yearbook for 2019 sign the order sheet at the Welcome Table. This yearbook is of churches, classis, pastors, commissioned pastors and CRC ministers for the Christian Reformed Church in North America. Books are $10 and will arrive in February

Sanctity of Life Memorial Service & March will be held on Saturday, January 19 at 10 am. The walk will begin at the
corner of 10th and Central and be a 20 minute walk around Centennial Park followed by a prayer service in the Ministry Center at Central Avenue CRC in Holland. All those who bring a hand-made pro-life sign to display while walking, will have an opportunity to place their name in a drawing for a $25 gift card. Show your support for the unborn by attending this march.

Camp ~ Kid’s are you thinking about attending camp this summer. Information for Camp Geneva is available at the Welcome Table. They have many programs to offer and various weeks to attend for various ages.

Family Faith Formation ~ It’s true that faith is “caught” just as much as it’s “taught”. Kids will learn to value Bible
reading more if you let them “catch” you reading God’s Word on your own – not just in church or during family devotions. Talk with your children what you’re reading and how it connects with your daily life. (Faith Formation Ministries: crcna.org/FaithFormation)
