Announcements
 
1. Sunday, January 18 – Family Recognition Service – Afternoon Service 
This shortened afternoon church service is intended to recognize the babies that have been born into our church during 2025. While this is an encouragement to the parents to raise these children in God-fearing homes, it is also an opportunity and reminder to the entire church family to be involved in each other’s lives. 

2. Sunday, January 18 - Pizza Meal 5:30pm and Church Family Hymn Sing 6:30pm at Fellowship Hall 
The Bible Class will be the special group for the evening.  Please sign up at the kitchen sign-up table if you plan to attend or if you can bring bars or cookies.

4. Christmas Card Boxes & Envelopes - Boxes Removed January 11 
Just a reminder that if you haven’t checked your envelopes and picked up your Christmas cards, please do so! Unfortunately, more people than expected failed to retrieve their cards last year. Please help with delivery to those in your realm of influence and family. If you are unable to retrieve your cards, ask someone to do that for you. The Boxes will be removed on January 11th and remaining cards disposed of. 

5. Wednesday, January 14, 7:00pm – Annual Business Meeting 
The meeting will be a brief overview of the church funds with our normal financial handout available. Please plan to attend and see how your church has been blessed this past year. If you are not able to attend in person, please contact Sis Dannelle Zeller to get a link for the live stream.  
After the meeting, there will be a shortened service. The meeting and service will be held during the normal Wednesday night service time.
