New Church Building Update The Building Committee is excited to share that they have made significant progress on the design of our new church facility. After countless hours of dialogue between the Building Committee and various groups, including Aspen, the subcommittees, church leadership and many of you, they would like to review the current plans for the new building with the congregation. Please mark your calendar for Tuesday evening, February 17th for this presentation at the Fellowship Hall. A general overview will be provided from 6:30 to 7:15. Following this overview, the congregation will be able to visit various display stations to better understand the details for some key areas in the new church (e.g., the sanctuary, Sunday School, kitchen and dining room, fellowship area, etc.). Each of these display stations will be manned by Building Committee and subcommittee members who have participated in developing the design for their respective area. Since this is such an important milestone for our church, babysitting services will be provided so all can attend. As always, please remain diligently prayerful for all involved so we can esteem each other and work together in peace and harmony, and God can be glorified. 2. World Relief Collection Today and February 8 will be our collection for National World Relief. The fund is established to provide humanitarian aid and volunteer labor to alleviate suffering throughout the world in a way that is a Christian witness and brings Glory to God.
