Admiral Awesome thinks he’s pretty awesome and
the most powerful super hero around! What will
happen when Prof. Peabody reminds him that no
one is as powerful as Jesus? Join us this week as
we study the story of Jesus demonstrating his authority over all things (Mark 1:21-28). Super Kids! is a midweek ministry for children in 1st through 5th grades. We meet
Wednesdays from 6:30 to 7:45, immediately following the
6:00 family dinner in the Prince of Peace fellowship area.
Kids can start at any time during the school year, and friends

The flowers on the altar last weekend were from
Mike and Karen Schwartz in honor of both their parents.
Pastor Dave is teaching a short course (through February 22)
in the Chapel between services, starting at 9:45 AM. The
majority of the class will be spent studying what God’s
Word has to say regarding the subject of healing.
Subjects covered include: reasons for sickness; purposes of
God in healing; what healing is; involvements in the practice
of healing; factors outlined in James 5:14-16; basis for practicing healing today; spiritual gifts of healing; and healing and
the will of God. Healing in regard to Isaiah 53 - and healing
in the atonement of Christ - will be covered. There’ll be encouragement for the practice of healing as part of the visitor’s
tool kit. Eucharistic visitors, spiritual caregivers, and any who
desire to be involved in, or learn about, visiting those who are
ill, homebound, in hospice, rehabilitation centers and hospitals are encouraged to come learn and participate in the discussion.
Operation Christmas Child 2015 –
February items of the month are toothpaste,
individually packaged toothbrushes, hair brushes,
combs, ponytail elastics, barrettes, headbands,
and other “hair stuff.” Please remember that items
need to be NEW and un-used. Thank you!
RLC Library News: Thank you for the many donations in
2014. Over 100 books were added to our shelves last year,
something in almost every category. A selection of these will
be displayed each month this coming year on the counter in
the room off our narthex.
Our Wednesday night small group with Pastors Steve
and Corey is going through the DVD series “Sacred Parenting: How Raising Children Shapes Our Souls” by Gary Thomas. Parenting a child is an in-depth course on spiritual formation, expressly designed by God to shape your soul in ways
you cannot imagine. What if one of God’s primary intentions
for you as a parent isn’t about successfully raising perfect children, but about you becoming more holy? Sacred Parenting
helps you look at parenting from a different perspective. In
this six-session video group study, designed for use with the
Sacred Parenting Participant’s Guide, award-winning author
Gary Thomas offers a roadmap to spiritual growth through
the children that God has given you to parent. Sacred Parenting will help you and your group learn how God can transform
dirty diapers, a toddler’s tantrums, and a teenager’s silence in
order to transform you into a person who reflects the image of
Christ. We meet Wednesday evenings at 6:30-7:45 PM
in the chapel. Childcare is provided.
The LCMC NW District Gathering will be held at Calvary
Lutheran Church in Kalispell, MT, on April 17-19. Early registration cost is $50 per person before March 17. For more details see the poster on the bulletin board in the Resource Center in the Prince of Peace fellowship area. If you are planning
to attend, please let the church office know.
Save the date! The Annual High School Youth Beach Trip
Fundraiser Dinner is coming soon! Friday, March 6, at
6:00 PM. Cost is $15 for adults and $7 for children (12 years
old and younger). Join us for an exciting evening of food and
fun! Please RSVP
on the yellow slip or to
[email protected] by March 3.

Children’s Church - How are we to love? Like Jesus loves!
This week in Children’s Church we’ll hear from Paul’s teaching
to the church in Corinth on what that type of love is like. (1
Corinthians 13:1-13)
ALL CUB SCOUTS AND BOY SCOUTS (young and old,
past and present) – Sunday, February 8, is “Scout Sunday”. The Boy Scouts of America designates the Sunday that
falls on or before February 8 (the Anniversary of the founding
of Scouting in the United States) as Scout Sunday. To recognize the twelfth tenant of the Boy Scout Law, “A Scout is Reverent”, all Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts (active or not) are encouraged to wear your uniform to worship services that
day. RLC Boy Scout Troop 248 will host Hebrews Café and be
a part of the worship services on that Sunday. If you or anyone you know is interested in what the RLC Troop does, please
come!
Lenten Worship Series - During this year’s season of Lent,
we will be considering church membership. What are your
presuppositions, what are your practices, what are your attitudes as a member of Richland Lutheran Church? Do you
know what God’s word says about church membership? Did
you know the Bible talks about church membership? We will
work together, using the book “I Am a Church Member” as a
guide and resource to help us discover or rediscover the privilege and joy of church membership as the Bible teaches.
