ANNOUNCEMENTS
On Sunday, February 15, we will have a special “Healing Service” at both the 9 AM
and 11:15 AM services. Therefore, I want to strongly encourage and invite you, friends
and family to come, all who may benefit from this glorious opportunity, to be prayed for
and over. Please be much in prayer for these services and let’s stand together on the
Word of God which says, 13 “Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone
happy? Let him sing songs of praise. 14 Is any one of you sick? He should call the
elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15
And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up.
If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and
pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful
and effective.” (James 5:13-16 NIV) Pastor David
Today is the Souper Bowl of Caring which supports local missions. Youth and
friends-of-youth will be in the narthex after both services with soup pots. The money
collected is donated to the Washington Street United Methodist Church Soup Cellar.
Thank you in advance for supporting this mission and the youth of NEUMC.
The youth will meet this afternoon at 6:30 PM in the Youth Rooms to watch the Super
Bowl, fellowship and eat. Bring a heavy snack to share and join us. Everyone is
welcome. The youth will not meet at 5 PM today.

PM in room 102. Dinner will start at 6:30 and the meeting will begin at 7 PM. Dinner

our regular meeting.
The Witness Ministry Team is collecting coats, hats and gloves to give away next
Saturday to those in need in our community. If you have something to contribute, please

Have mercy upon us, O God, according to your lovingkindness. According to the multitude

before us. Create in us clean hearts, O God, and renew a right spirit within us; through
Jesus Christ our Lord. (W. E. ORCHARD, ENGLAND, 20TH CENT., ALT.)

Revelation 2:8-11 (NIV)
8 "To the angel of the church in Smyrna
write: These are the words of him who is
the First and the Last, who died and came
to life again.
9 I know your afflictions and your poverty-yet you are rich! I know the slander of those
who say they are Jews and are not, but are
a synagogue of Satan.
10 Do not be afraid of what you are about
to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some
of you in prison to test you, and you will
suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful,
even to the point of death, and I will give
you the crown of life.
11 He who has an ear, let him hear what
the Spirit says to the churches. He who
overcomes will not be hurt at all by the
second death.

In the Setting Your Marriage Free small

relationships with Christ and extends out to
our marriages.
