The Beginning of Wisdom Is…

SOUP FOR MISSIONS
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 11

WISE UP!
Sometimes people find themselves in a lifemess and they don’t know where to start fixing things. This week in Sunday morning
worship we will look at Psalm 111. This is a
psalm of praise that ends with a declaration
about where to start getting smart about life. I
hope you will join us Sunday at 11 as we discover where all
life-saving wisdom begins. And, if you are curious, the photo
on the cover is of Antelope Canyon near Page, Arizona.

Some of you are planners, so here is the communion schedule

April 2 (Maundy Thursday during Holy Week at Compline),
May 3, June 14, July 12, August 2, September 13, October 4,
November 8, and December 24 (Christmas Eve).
GOD’S STOREHOUSE NEEDS VOLUNTEERS
I have heard from a couple of sources that God’s Storehouse is
in need of volunteers. Is this something you could do? Many
West Mainers serve at the God’s Storehouse distribution center.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE WEEK OF
FEBRUARY 1-7
Children’s Handbells
Parents of teenagers, we hope you will make a strong effort
to have your child at our Mini-Retreat, Sunday, February 8,
5:30-7:30. This will be a very positive event about making
smart decisions about love, dating, and sex. We have invited
my daughter, Hannah, to be a part of our retreat. Hannah leads
two weekly small groups for young women through her church
in Charlotte. She, plus Jamie, myself, and others, will be
teaching the Christian way to think about love, dating and sex.
I see so many people struggle with relationships because
they lack clear goals for themselves and a wise understanding
of what love really is. Our culture is a disaster when imparting
quality values that create dignity, discipline and respect, especially in the areas of male/female relationships.
Jesus wanted the very best for us in our relationships, especially those designed to last a lifetime. Let’s help our kids get
going in life with clear Jesus-values that will, as Andy Stanley
says, create "better decisions with fewer regrets.”
If you want more information, call me or Jamie.

LAST SATURDAY FELLOWSHIP BREAKFAST
This Saturday will mark the end of our Saturday morning Fellowship Breakfast. Although it is sad to see this fine ministry come
to an end, we are excited about new partnerships that God’s spirit
will lead us into that continue to provide care to the most needy
among us. Pray for our Missions Committee as they sort out our
next steps.
Grace and peace, Bruce
