THANK YOU "I want to thank all those who prayed for me during my episode. Your thoughtfulness is so much appreciated. I am already nearly back to my normal self, and God's mercy and your prayers are the reasons for that, because prayers are always the answer. I am grateful to God and to all of you. I especially appreciated my visit with Pastor Bernthal. Betty Brokaw"

LIFE THOUGHTS IN THE CHURCH.
We have the privilege of participating in divine love. It never just stands by (1 Corinthians 13:4-7). The heavenly love our Savior works in us steps in, especially when conditions become predicaments. This love beholds and brings out an individual’s infinite value no matter what other pressures obscure it (Jeremiah 1:5, Luke 4:33). (Epiphany IV)
LIFE QUOTES “God has given each of us a limited time to be on this earth, a purpose for that time, and people to share that time with. Don’t wait for a near-death experience to teach you the lesson of appreciating to the fullest what God has given you. Life is too short.” Diane E. Schroeder, former president of Lutherans For Life . If you wish to support this group, you may do so through their website: www.lutheransforlife.org

SLEEP IN HEAVENLY PEACE – BENTONVILLE is a local chapter of a national charity (Sleep in Heavenly Peace). SHP started as a small act of kindness one Christmas in a garage in Idaho Falls over six years ago. Thanks to some attention from Mike Rowe and his show, Returning The Favor, SHP has grown into a nationwide charity with over 127 chapters in 39 states. Their motto is “No kid sleeps on the floor in our town”. Their mission is to provide top-notch bunk beds to children and families in need. SHP – Bentonville became a local chapter last Fall. In that short amount of time in 2018, they gave away over 70 beds! They currently have over 130 requests for beds outstanding with no beds in their inventory – they gave away their last bunk on Christmas Eve.
The Outreach Ministry Team along with the Journeymen group are partnering with SHP – Bentonville to build 5-7 bunks. This means ten to fourteen LOCAL children will be off of the floor! Our build date is scheduled for Saturday, February 23rd from 9am to 1pm. We need 10 volunteers to help build the bunks. No experience is necessary! SHP – Bentonville provides all of the supplies, all of the tools, and all of the know-how! We plan to use a Thrivent Action Team to provide snacks and water. If you would like to volunteer to help, please sign up on the bulletin board in the Narthex. If you know of a local family sleeping on the floor/couch, please contact a member of the Outreach Ministry Team or Journeymen. The beds we build can be delivered to families we choose if we know of the need in advance.
The cost of this build is $1,750 which covers supplies, mattresses, bedding, pillows, and liability insurance among other things. This cost will be covered by the Outreach Ministry Team’s budget. If you would like to make a donation to this event, please place it in the offering plate marked “Bunk Bed Build”. If you would like to learn more about Sleep In Heavenly Peace, please visit their website: www.shpbeds.org.
