BEACH PARTY TICKETS ON SALE !!  Instead of a Café or a Sweethearts Dinner in February, we will be having a “Beach Party”. It will be Saturday February 18^th starting at 6:00 p.m. This will be open to everyone of every age in the congregation. We will have games, music and a contest for the most obnoxious Hawaiian shirt.

Tickets for this event will be $10 per person, $5 for those under 18 years old. Put on your beach gear and join us for a fun evening. All profits from the evening will go towards the Youth special project fund. Purchase your ticket from a Youth member or the church office. Please purchase tickets early so we can plan for seating and amount of food.

 

PASTOR’S BIBLE CLASS   Pastor Besel’s Sunday Bible Class is on week three of a four week study entitled “Courageous Living”.  It is based on the current movie “Courageous.”  Then we will watch the movie for a couple of weeks followed by a study of Hebrews.  The class meets each Sunday in Classroom 1 during the Education Hour.

THE LUTHERAN HOUR    Today on KURM (790AM) at 12: Lutheran Hour Speaker: Rev. Gregory Seltz, will speak on: "God Is Faithful. Get Busy and Wait on the Lord" We can wait on God-joyfully, expectantly, hopefully-because we can trust Him. (Isaiah 40:28-31)

 

THANK YOU  so much for the prayers, cards, concerns, goodies and the nice prayer shawl. It was all greatly appreciated. Connie Heintz

 

YOUNG CHRISTIAN’S WEEKEND  Ready for a fantastic, Christ filled weekend at Silver Dollar City? What could be better - great speakers with messages all about Jesus, wonderful music and all that SDC has to offer? This year it will be March 30th - April 1st, check out the notice on the Youth Board for which bands will be there this year. This is open to Jr & Sr Youth and if you wish to go you need to turn in your trip permission slip and deposit of $25 (you will get most of this back for lunch money) to Pam Pickett no later than 2-12-12. I know, this is over a month early but we save $15 per ticket by doing early registration so the 12th is your absolute cut off date. Double-check your calendar that you have no conflict because the tickets are non-refundable and if you back out we will ask you to reimburse the full cost if we can't find someone to take your place. If you aren't sure if you want to go talk to any of the youth who have gone in the past for how awesome it is.

LIFE THOUGHTS  “We need to provide much more support for overburdened mothers—personal, financial, social, and medical support—both before and after their child is born. We need to ensure that children who may be unwanted and unloved by their parents will be welcomed and loved by others in society and especially by the Church.” John Stott, English Christian leader and Anglican cleric – A “Life Quote” from Lutherans For Life · www.lutheransforlife.org

 

Childish vs. childlike

 

Childlike makes a great scientist.

Childish produces tantrums.

Childlike brings fresh eyes to marketing opportunities.

Childish rarely shows up as promised.

Childlike is fearless and powerful and willing to fail.

Childish is annoying.

Childlike inquires with a pure heart.

Childish is merely ignored.
