Holy Communion at Cross of Hope…we share by intinction.
You will receive the host from Pastor (gluten free wafers
available upon request). One chalice is wine; the other
white grape juice. Communion is open to all baptized who
believe Jesus is truly present in the meal (regardless of
denomination affiliation).
This weekend will be Pastor Lee’s final one with us
in our interim time (we will see him on Ash
Wednesday). We would love to let he and Helen know
how much we appreciate their continued love and
commitment to Cross of Hope by having a reception
between services (9:45 to 10:30) on Sunday morning
the February 1st. We will have a basket out for any
cards of thanks. Please come worship this Sunday and
celebrate this wonderful gift God has blessed us with
the past few months. If you are not able to make it at
9:45, please share thoughts and wishes after the
second service.
Preparation for Worship
“I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart,
in the company of…the congregation” (Psalm 111:1,

Do Something:
Our Faith Without Works is Dead!
WOW!!!! You all totally rocked the Piggy Bank giving for World
Hunger! Over $325 dollars was gathered in the banks alone. We
are looking to see how to designate that and to which animals
and where and we will keep you updated.
For this exciting fun week at W3 we recognize that
Flashdance will hit the Broadway stage and we are going to
have some fun by having a 80’s throwback Flashdance style
dinnertime this coming Wednesday. We encourage you and
your family to bust out all of your 80’s attire, practice some 80’s
dance moves and be ready to have a great time with some great
food, knick knacks and décor that made the 80’s so totally rad!
The service project we will be heading into is in conjunction
with the Alzheimer’s Association and will focus on two things bringing a smile to the faces of residents at a local Alzheimer’s
care center and helping out the organization Music and Memory
in their collection of iPods. So while we are rockin’ our 80’s
tunes be thinking of the old iPods that you may have that you
can donate to help those with memory loss. (see attached link
and information on next page).
http://musicandmemory.org/donate-my-ipod/
The past two weeks have been so wonderful in the food sign
up on Perfect Potluck and we are so appreciative of those folks
who have offered to help with the menu each week. If for any
reason you are unable to provide the food after you have signed
up please let me or Erin know ASAP so that proper adjustments
can be made. I can usually be reached on my cell at 505-4001109. If you have a few minutes after the dinner time and can
sign up to help with kitchen clean up that would also be helpful.
The Perfect Potluck link is attached below.

BOWL 12. They will be collecting nonperishable food items to be donated to
Joy Junction of Albuquerque. There is a
box in the Great Hall for the food
collection. The collection will run through
Sunday, February 15.
ADULT CLASS DURING W3
Our life of faith is a journey that has may hills, valleys
and crossroads. Sometimes doubts overtake us and
when they do we all need to have someone to share
these doubts with. That is what this class is about.
Sharing. And with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we
will help each other on this wonderful journey and
strengthen our faith and our love for Christ along the
way. Please join us at 7:00 pm each Wednesday night.
Financial Peace University classes
have started during W. Class begins
at 7PM. FPU is a nine week, Biblically
based personal finance program.
Classes are offered to new members
and former members who want a
refresher. Please inquire of Hans
Zimmer, [email protected].
Do you believe in Magic? Do you have an old iPod just sitting
around collecting dust? Now you can perform
magic with it! Just bring your gently used iPod or
other Apple products, and/or new iTunes cards and it will
be donated to the Music and Memory program. This
program transforms lives of those suffering with
Alzheimer's, by providing personalized music for each
individual in a facility- which then literally awakens them. The
studies have shown they show more joy, are more interactive and
their quality of life has been increased! For more info, contact Kim
O'Roark at 505-417-4206 or email: [email protected]

Humbled before God
In A Quiet Place in a Crazy World (Multnomah), Joni Eareckson Tada writes about
approaching God with humility, out of “a place of dust and ashes.” God rewards an attitude
of deep humility by lifting us up (see James 4:10 and 1 Peter 5:6).
Abraham, for example, boldly approached God in prayer, “though I am nothing but dust and
ashes” (Genesis 18:27, NIV). “The lower Abraham humbled himself, the ‘higher’ he must
have felt,” Tada writes. “I can imagine that when Abraham spoke to God, he felt as though
he were carried up on eagle’s wings to the heights of heaven. It must have awed him to be
allowed, of all things, access to God Almighty.”
Such an attitude of humility helps us appreciate God’s real presence with us in prayer, Tada
says, because “we will know the assurance of talking to Someone who is really there.”
