People: Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. Leader: But Peter and John replied, “Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to him? You be the judges! As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.” People: On their release, Peter and John went back to their own people and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them. Leader: When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to God. People: They said: “Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Leader: “Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” People: After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.

Contact the church office for more information on these programs. _____________________ The youth will have a Souper Bowl soup sale following today’s morning worship service. This is a fundraiser for their upcoming trip to CCYC, which is February 20-22. (Tickets for CCYC have been ordered, and there are no more tickets available, so unfortunately it is not possible to add additional attendees for this event.) Contact Bill Conover for more information on the soup sale or CCYC. _____________________ Please join us tonight at 6 pm for our Sunday evening programs. The adults meet in the worship center and are continuing their video and discussion series, Walking with God in the Desert. We also have a nursery available. See the following announcement for tonight’s special youth and children’s programs. The youth (grades 6-12) will have a Big Game Party tonight at the home of Mike and Alice Williams. Children (age 4 through 5th grade) will have a Big Game Party tonight at the home of George and Ginny Lewis. Both parties begin at 6 pm; however, adults attending the evening service at the church can drop off young people at either event beginning at 5:40 pm, to allow the adults time to get to church. Contact the Williams or Lewis family for more information or directions. These parties take the place of the youth and children’s evening programs at the church for tonight only; the regular youth and children’s programs will resume at the church next week. The practices for the youth Easter play are continuing. Contact Bill Conover for more information. Please see additional announcements on both sides of the insert. _____________________ _____________________ _____________________ _____________________ _____________________ _____________________ _____________________ _____________________ _____________________ Announcements Announcements The Young Family Group will continue our parenting study this Friday, February 6 at 6:15 pm.

Beginning next Sunday, February 8, there will be a light continental breakfast available in the fellowship hall prior to Sunday school, from 9:30 to 9:55 am. This will feature basic items like bagels, doughnuts, juice and coffee; it is not a full breakfast.  This is to encourage wider participation in Sunday school, while also encouraging fellowship among our attendees. This is being offered in response to your recommendations in the Sunday school survey.  This will be offered every Sunday. It is being done on a trial basis for at least four weeks, and will be continued or discontinued based on your participation and support.  There will be a donation basket to recover the cost of the items offered. Those participating are encouraged to give, but there is no set cost.  The breakfast will end promptly at 9:55 am; no food will be available after that, because a Sunday school class meets in the fellowship hall beginning at 10 am.  The breakfast is open to all Sunday school attendees—all ages and all classes. Volunteers are needed to purchase food and do setup and cleanup.  Contact Rhett Phillips, Debbie Beale or Mary Jones for more information, or if you would like to help.
