Acts 7v.59-60
59 As they stoned him, Stephen prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."60 He fell to his knees, shouting, "Lord, don't charge them with this sin!" And with that, he died.
_______________>
We've all seen then the ratty bracelet on teenager taking our order at McDonald's begging the question "What would Jesus do?"
Stephen gives us an example not only of how to die like Jesus but how to live like Him too.

this week in kidmo!
| For the next 10 weeks we'll be using Willow Creek's "Flipt" curriculum. It's similar to our Kidmo curriculum, but will give them a change of pace for a couple of weeks. Here's what they'll be learning this week...
Come Follow MeSunday, January 24
Lesson #1 Bible Basis: Luke 5:1-11
Key Concept: Jesus is the Son of God and He wants us to follow Him.
Bible Verse: " 'Come, follow Me,' Jesus said." Matthew 4:19
Know What (LG): Children will hear the story of when Jesus taught people from a boat. He told
Peter to let down his nets. Peter obeyed. Jesus called His disciples to "Come, follow Me."
So What (LG): Children will learn that Jesus is the Son of God.
Now What (TT): Children will practice different ways they can obey Jesus in their life.
Spiritual Formation: Obedience

| movie: to save a life
Rated PG-13
| 
M-89 Cinema
9:30am 12:30 3:15 6:05 8:40pm
Can a movie change the world? No, but a person who sees it can.
TO SAVE A LIFE is more than a movie. It's the difference you can
make when you use your influence and time for others - in your family,
neighborhood, campus, community, or world. Some people are just dying
to be heard and accepted. Imagine if we took the time to show people
they have value. Listen. Reach out. Engage. TO SAVE A LIFE dares - no,
inspires - you to.
TO SAVE A LIFE is a cool movie. But it's only a movie. You can change the world. __________________________ |

Please continue to pray for Anna Andrus' grandma. She is home from the hospital and is getting stronger. Please pray for her continued healing.
Please also continue to pray for Michele's brother, Scott. Scott has been battling cancer on and off for the last 10 years. He has just had surgery to remove cancer from around his carotid artery and is now going through both chemo and radiation treatments.
Please pray for his health, for his emotional state, and that his faith in Christ would be strengthened.
Thanks.
