Rakes, Pitchforks, & Wheelbarrows Needed!!!

On Tuesday morning, Feb. 7, we will try to finish up the area around our new playground equipment. We need to move 40 cubic yards of new wood chips so that the kids can use the equipment. Many hands make light work.

If you can help at 9 am Tuesday morning, please respond to this email. We will give you some hot coffee, stale donuts, and eternal gratitude. (Actually, we’ll give you a good donut.)

Thank you

David Reeves

The Wesley Foundation Campus Ministry at Western Carolina University is collecting playable but unwanted DVD’s,  CD’s, and Video Games (not cassette tapes or VHS tapes) of all genres. These will be used for a fundraiser to support their mission trip in May to Good Works, Inc. in Athens, Ohio.   The group will hold a CD and DVD Sale in late March on the campus of Western Carolina University.  Last year the grouped earned over $600 to go towards their international mission trip by doing the same thing.

Please bring unwanted CD’s, DVD’s, and Video Game cartridges that are gently used or better to the collection box in the church office.  The collection process will begin February 1st and conclude on March 4th.  Please contact, Jay Hinton at 828-368-4234 or (Jay’s email) if you have any questions.

NEW ADULT STUDIES FOR THE NEW YEAR!

This January we’ll be starting three new study groups for adults interested in growing deeper in their faith, stronger in their commitment to Christ, and closer to those in their faith community. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been attending church all your life or this is a new experience for you. Everyone will find a comfortable place to share and learn together. Feel free to contact Sherrie Schork if you have questions or need more information or just to let her know you’re coming so we have enough materials for everyone at (sherrie’s email) or contact the church office.

Joining the “preached word” and the “taught word” was a practice of Jesus seen over and over in the Gospels. David leads the group by introducing the Scripture for the coming Sunday’s worship service followed by lively discussion on the meaning and application of the text. Members gain insight into how to approach and study the Bible as well as being in conversation about the message for the coming Sunday. The group will enjoy hearing the story told and then making the story their own.
