This year’s denominational focus on the Week of Compassion in February is themed to 1 CORINTHIANS 3:5-9 Invest in Futures. To help us think about how we will invest our gifts to build the future as co-workers in the kingdom of God, the February mission and education prayer calendar is now available near the entry to the sanctuary. It uses the Giving Calendar to inspire our prayers and gifts to the relief, refugee and development mission fund of the Christian Church (DOC) in the US and Canada. The Blessing Boxes are on the table in the back. Please take one and bring it back next Sunday for “Noisy” Offering.
