BIBLE STUDY – CLASSROOM 1 Are you involved in a Bible study class? If not, we would love to have you join us in Classroom 1 where we are taking a verse by verse look at the book of Joshua. Think the Old Testament is boring? That it’s not relevant? Oh no my friend, just the opposite. Wars, miracles, lessons in prayer life – all at the same time! We begin at 9:30 a.m. Sunday mornings, hope to see you there.

LIFE THOUGHTS IN THE CHURCH.
It’s never just a personal choice when the devil deceives people into using death as a solution. Baptism into Christ’s family makes us brothers’ and sisters’ keepers. “If one member suffers, all suffer together …” (1 Corinthians 12:26a). Our Gospel-motivated voices can keep endangered neighbors from suffering with life-and-death situations in silence and solitude. Lending our shoulders to help carry their crosses can change hearts, save lives, and gain their fellowship. (Epiphany III)
LIFE QUOTES “The most fundamental fact of modern biology is that your body is in a continual state of change and development from cradle to grave. Yet, through all the changes, your identity remains the same.” Rev. Jonathan Lange, district life coordinator for the Wyoming District LCMS --If you wish to support this group, you may do so through their website: www.lutheransforlife.org

OUTREACH MINISTRY TEAM The Outreach Ministry Team conducted a survey last Fall. We combined the results of that survey with the results of the recent survey that members responded to in regards to a new pastor and have come up with THREE ‘focus areas’ for 2019. They are: Children, Hunger (local), and Charities (local). The Outreach Ministry team’s goal is to sponsor at least one outreach opportunity a month for our church focused on at least one of these three things. We will do our best to have a variety of opportunities so everyone can participate as they are able.
In February, we are teaming up with our own Journeymen Group as well as Sleep In Heavenly Peace – Bentonville to build bunks beds for children in NWAR that are currently sleeping on the floor. The build date is Saturday, February 23rd from 9am until 1pm. We will need at least 10 volunteers to help. 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. Watch for additional details in future News and Notes as well as the Clarion. If you have any questions, please see an Outreach Ministry Team member – Casey Bolte or Dave Lehenbauer.
