Fellowship Night ~ Our next Fellowship Night will be January 9. We will be having a “Winter Cook-Out” (hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill). Cadets, GEMS and Youth Group will also begin a new session.

GRACE 360 Youth Group will meet on Wednesday, January 9 at 6:30 pm in the youth room. We will have a lesson on Trust from Proverbs 3:5-6.

Chili Cook-Off and Bread Bake-Off will be held on Wednesday, January 23. If you would like to enter your chili and / or
bread for taste testing, sign-up in the fellowship hall. We need many entries for this fun event.

Nursery Helpers ~ Beginning in January reminders will no longer be mailed to nursery volunteers. The schedule will continue to be in the Observer two months at a time and in the extended announcements two weeks at a time. Just a reminder that both the adult and the younger helpers should find their own replacement. If you would like to volunteer in the nursery during the morning service, contact the church office to have your name added to the list. Your willingness to serve is appreciated.

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, then 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.

All You Need ~ If you spend any time watching TV or trolling the internet, you’ll quickly discover there’s a lot you just
can’t live without… at least according to advertisers. Join Groundwork in the study of Apostle Paul’s reminder to early Christians and to us in I Thessalonians 1 that in Christ we have all we need in life.
