Preschool Prayer Program
The preschool seeks nine church-family sponsors who want to participate in the Preschool Prayer Program. We have nine new students who have recently started school. As a sponsor, you commit to praying for your preschool child and their family throughout the school year. We are also asking for a $25 donation to help cover the cost of your child's bible and gifts bought by the preschool for your child's birthday and other special holidays.
Brenda Ruehs will have a table outside the sanctuary between services on Sundays, January 19th and 26th. You can sign up in person or email Brenda at bruehs.loc@gmail.com.

Adult Ed: Torah Study
Throughout the month of January and into early February we will be studying the Torah (first five books of the Old Testament). The Growth Group readings during this time correlate to the book that we will be looking at each Sunday. The goal of this study is to give you sample readings of the various books within the Torah, as well as to give you a larger narrative overview of this important section of the Old Testament (the foundation for the entirety of the Old Testament). In addition, it is our goal to point out to you where you can see Christ within the Torah. Whatever your level of engagement with the Bible we hope that you will join us for this study.
Feb. 2 - Deuteronomy
Upcoming Adult Ed: The book of Colossians.
We will be working through the book of Colossians. To go along with the class is our reading schedule. Day 1, read chapter 1. Day 2, read chapter 2, Day 3, read chapter 3, Day 4, read chapter 4. Then repeat the process. The goal is to be reading through this book as we are studying it. If you read the whole book in one setting it would take between 12 and 15 minutes. Colossians has some of the best Christology and you really get to see the Apostle Paul’s pastoral heart. Join us February 9, 16, 23 and March 2 from 9:20-10:15am.
