 | 5th Sunday
january 31 | 
DON'T FORGETThis Sunday, January 31, is our next 5th Sunday. That means that we will not meet for our usual worship time at 10:30am, but will meet at 9am to worship God by serving in Allegan. We will meet at 9am at the Bridge Building, 141 Riverfront Plaza, which is near the gazebo downtown. We will be at several different locations including: Silvia's Place, Love Inc.'s new second hand store, helping a single mom move, possibly visiting some folks at a nursing home, handing out donuts and orange juice around town, etc. Plan on wearing your work clothes and getting a little dirty. See you Sunday!

| 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. __________________________ |

| prayer
|
This is my prayer for myself and for you all. I'd ask that you'd make it yours, too: Colossians 4v.2-6
2Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. 3And
pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we
may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.
4Pray that I may proclaim it clearly,
as I should.
5Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. 6Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
~Roger
