Greetings!
This week, we will continue our exploration of our Vision Statement as we discuss what it means to empower one another for ministry. Our Scripture comes from Paul's letter to the Romans:
For I am longing to see you so that I may share with you some spiritual gift to strengthen you-or rather so that we may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine. Romans 1:11-12 (NRSV)
· Can you think a time when someone strengthened you?
o Can you identify a particular spiritual gift that was used to strengthen you?
o What would have happened if that person had not exercised their gift?
· When have you been called to use one of your spiritual gifts to strengthen someone?
o What did gift did you use?
o Did you see the results of sharing your gift?
o How did that person respond?
· What would a church full of people sharing their gifts to encourage and strengthen one another look like?
o How might it look different than our congregation today?
o How might it look similar?
Look forward to seeing you on Sunday!

Mark Your Calendar!
Ash Wednesday Service--February 17th at 6:30 p.m.
Come and join us as we begin preparing our hearts and lives to celebrate Easter as we come together to reflect on our need for salvation. The Water's Edge Praise team will lead our music. This service will be a wonderful mix of old and new as we receive the traditional mark of ashes to remind us of our need for repentance and our common humanity through the use of the Blues! Be sure and join us as we prepare our hearts for the season to come!
"Words and music did for me what solid, even rigorous, religious argument could never do -- they introduced me to God, not belief in God, more an experiential sense of GOD. Over art, literature, girls, my mates, the way in to my spirit was a combination of words and music. As a result, the Book of Psalms always felt open to me and led me to the poetry of Ecclesiastes, the Song of Solomon, the book of John...My religion could not be fiction, but it had to transcend facts. It could be mystical, but not mythical. " Bono
