Ladies Bible Study has begun a new study in the “Discovering Who Jesus Is” series. If you’re looking for more study, encouragement and prayer in your life, consider joining us as we tackle Jesus’ “I AM” statements. We meet at Evie Mann’s home in Eden at 8:00 pm.
Wednesday, January 30th
Choir practice at the church at 6:00 pm
Bible Study and Prayer meeting at 7:00 pm. We’re in the final paragraphs of Matthew’s gospel – the Great Cover-up and the Great Commission!
Thursday, January 31st
Elders’ meeting at 6:30 pm. Come ready to discuss Chapter 6 in the Elders Handbook (“Public Worship”).
Sunday, February 10th
Ellington Congregational Church will celebrate its 180th anniversary. Gene VanDette, FCC Elder and Ellington Interim Pastor, invites us to be part of the festivities – a special morning service, fellowship meal, and music program in the afternoon.
Our sympathies go out to 12-year old Danielle Hill, whose South Buffalo home was destroyed by fire last week. She lost most of her personal effects, including this year’s Christmas presents and a family pet. Special contributions may be designated “DANIELLE HILL ACTS 4:34-35 PROJECT”.
In an effort to serve the congregation better, the Church Board has authorized the purchase of several listening devices. The personal receivers are small and discreet and will go a long way to help people get the most out of our services. A special contribution has already been earmarked for the $800 purchase, but if you would like to be part of this important project, please designate your contributions, “LISTENING DEVICE PROJECT.”
BE PRAYING WITH THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE AS THEY MEET TO PREPARE A SLATE OF CANDIDATES TO BE CONSIDERED FOR OFFICE AT THE ANNUAL MEETING IN FEBRUARY 2008. TO SUBMIT NAMES FOR CONSIDERATION OR TO MAKE ANY OTHER COMMENTS PERTAINING TO THE NOMINATING PROCESS, SEE OLIVE, FRED OR DEREK IN THE COMING WEEKS. PRAY WITH US DURING THIS IMPORTANT TIME IN OUR CHURCH.
