Kingdom Tools: Winning in Life
Friday night (tomorrow, 2/17), from 7-8:30 p.m. we will have our first weekly Kingdom Tools session, at the church. This will be a training led by Jerry, to encourage spiritual growth.
This week please be sure to eat before you come. For childcare, we'll be doing a rotation. Can one of the ladies volunteer to take a 30 minute slot? We already have 2 others to take the other 2 slots. Please post here if you can do it.
See you tomorrow night for Kingdom Tools: "Winning in Life"! Bring a notepad & writing utensil. This is open to the public; invite your friends!

God's abundant provision!
Jerry has been sharing with The Bridge about his vision for the future of our children's ministry. It is his desire to raise up children who are led by the Spirit so they can become spiritual leaders in our society--now and later!
This morning, Jerry spoke to the church about a special offering for the children's ministry. He said our first project is to purchase a new television so that the kids can enjoy worship videos and other multimedia productions.
One person donated enough for the television this morning! Praise God! All the other donations will now go that much further toward fulfilling the vision for our children's ministry!
Economists may say we're in a recession. But God's coffers are always full, and we are so thankful for His timely provision and for people who give with cheerful hearts!

Christmas Eve service
This year there will be a Christmas Eve service from 5:00-6:30 p.m. on December 24. We hope that you (and your friends and family) will be able to make it!
Coffee and lemonade will be served after the service, for a fellowship hour from 6:30-7:30. If you'd like to bring refreshments to share, you are welcome to, but it's strictly optional.
Please also note that there will be no Sunday morning service on Christmas. We hope you will enjoy this morning with your loved ones.
Merry Christmas! The miracle of Christ's birth was the start of something big! May you be blessed with extra awareness of His Spirit's presence this season.
