GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
“The Parables: Understanding what Jesus Meant”
Why are we so drawn to stories? And why did Jesus use them so often?
Some sections of the Bible give us grand theology. Some move us to grateful responses to God. But the parables break through mere words and make us ask whether there has indeed been any real difference in our lives.
Today we’ll start a new adult class on the stories Jesus used to teach. Join us in the old sanctuary!
Call to Fasting and Prayer
As we look ahead to 2020, our leadership has set a goal of nurturing a culture of prayer at Alert. We want to encourage our congregation to join us in committing to pray and fast for a day from time to time in 2020. We would like to fill the calendar with volunteers who are willing to participate. A sign-up sheet with the first three months will be available today for volunteers to sign up for a day to fast and pray.
Babysitting Night
Need a night out or to get some things done around the house without kids? Let the mission team help you out! On Saturday, January 18th from 5-9:30 p.m. the mission team will be offering childcare as a fundraiser. There will be lots of fun activities planned to keep the kiddos busy. It was a fun night the last time and they are hoping to get more kids to join in this time! Please let Rose Linhardt know if you plan to bring your kids by Wednesday, January 15 so they can plan accordingly.
Covenant Women Bible Study
Scripture answers some of the most fundamental questions we have, such as: Who are we? Where do we belong? How do we live included in Christ? Join us on Tuesday night for an in-depth study in Galatians and Ephesians examining these passionate questions we have in our heart. We will meet at the VFW in Randolph from 6:30 to 8pm. This study is open to all women, so please invite your friends!
Trail Life Troop 0618 Pancake Feed
Our local Trail Life Troop will be having a pancake feed, on Saturday, January 11th from 5:00-7:00 p.m. here at church. Free will donation. Please come out and support our local troop.
