When you get right down to it, the Bible is the world’s greatest love story. Every
page is rooted in the story of God’s love for the people he created. But God not only
longs for us to experience His love but for us to experience deep and genuine love in
our marriages. In fact, the intimacy and committed love in a marriage should be a
reflection of God’s love in our lives. One entire book of the Bible is devoted to
romantic love between a man and woman. This is the Song of Solomon. God cares
deeply about the love in your life. Whatever people believe or don’t believe about
the Bible, God has a plan for relationships. We invite you to come and spend the day
with Auburn Grace Family Ministries as we explore what the Bible has to say about
this subject. Not what we assume it says, not what we want it to say, but what it
actually says. We will begin our time together with a fantastic movie from City on A
Hill entitled “The Song”. This compelling feature film will be unpacked in a
fantastic DVD study by Pastor Kyle Idleman. Couples will be challenged to examine
specific areas of their relationship. There will be a wonderful catered meal and
photos taken by a professional photographer will round out our time together.
Register to attend on the Response Form (include check payable to
‘AGCC’) or on-line at auburngrace.com. Cost: $50.00 per couple.

KidCheck and New Children’s Worship!
We will be rolling out KidCheck TODAY and all children at AGCC need to be
registered online. There will be computers in the Courtyard for parent
convenience. Registered children need to be checked in at the Gracetown
kiosk by parents BEFORE they go to class and then picked up at their class at
the end of service (classroom assignments on back of bulletin). NEXT
WEEKEND, February 7 and 8, we will begin children's worship in our new
Gracetown for our Grand Opening celebration! Children will go straight to
Gracetown instead of the church service after checking in at the kiosk.
To register online, go to: www.kidcheck.com
 Select ‘Sign-Up’
 Then ‘Parent/Guardian’
 Go to bottom of far right column under ‘Have you used KidCheck before?’
 Click on ‘I have never used KidCheck before’
 Complete the information requested in right column, click ‘Register’
It only takes a few minutes. Creating your account online will help us have a
smooth transition.
RECYCLE FOR CHILDREN’S MINISTRY!
The recycle cart is available for your convenience at the end of the sidewalk in
the Courtyard. Please only CRV plastic transparent bottles and aluminum cans.
Funds received for recyclables will be used for Children’s program equipment.
