Steve Gammon, our CCCC Conference Minister, has urged us to join him and other churches around the globe in commemorating “Amazing Grace Sunday” on February 18th. Churches are invited to sing this treasured hymn in recognition of the work of William Wilberforce, a courageous evangelical who 200 years ago helped facilitate the abolition of the slave trade in the British Empire. His mentor was John Newton, the slave trader turned songwriter, whose words influenced Wilberforce and continue to resonate today in the moving hymn “Amazing Grace”. The motion picture about the life and work of Wilberforce, also titled “Amazing Grace”, will open in theaters on February 23rd. You can learn more about the fight to end modern-day slavery at the partner campaign “Amazing Change” (http://www.theamazingchange.com/).

Singspiration at Lakeview Congregational Church at 6:30 pm. Come and enjoy an evening of singing and fellowship with our friends from Lakeview and First Church and others. Also, you may want to bring a favorite dessert to share.
Thursday, February 1st
Elders’ Meeting at 6:30 pm. Come prepared to discuss Clowney 17 (“Prophecy”).
Join us for a short mid-term study during the
Sunday school hour called “Body & Blood,”
a survey of how various Christian traditions
think about the Lord’s Supper.
Join us for coffee and a challenging look at what
Communion is all about,
what it means, and
what “happens” around the Lord’s Table.
It’s a great way to start our day together.
