NEXT SUNDAY’S READINGS are Isaiah 49:1-7, 1 Corinthians 1:1-9, and John 1:29-42a.
JANUARY MISSION ENVELOPES are designated to support SLEEP IN HEAVENLY PEACE. This is a charity that builds and donates (for free) new beds, complete with linens and a pillow, to children that do not have a bed to sleep in. Their motto is “No child sleeps on the floor in our town.” Each bed costs $300 and all donations pay for needed materials–labor is donated by volunteers. Your donations will be designated to go directly to beds being constructed for children in the Niagara Falls School District. According to our contact from the District, they currently have a waiting list of 180 children, and the list is growing.
SAVE YOUR CARDS: Grace Ladies would appreciate donations of Christmas cards you plan to discard. There is a donation box located in the coat room by the parking lot entrance.
TODAY–SOCIAL MINISTRIES will meet after worship in the chapel. New members are welcome to join us and enjoy lunch during the meeting.
THANK YOU for your generous donations to this year’s Giving Tree. Your gifts benefitted Niagara Gospel Mission, Salvation Army, St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry, Potter’s Field, and Heart, Love, & Soul.
FREE BIBLES: Our congregation provides free Bibles for guests and neighbors who come through our doors for voting, Survivors’ Group meetings, VBS, Trunk or Treat, and many other events. Our supply is running low, and it’s time to restock. Each case of 40 is about $100. If you’d like to support this mission, please mark your gift “Bible Outreach” (for online: choose the Special Missions category first). Those who receive Bibles are very grateful!
GLEANINGS DEADLINE for the February-March issue is Wednesday, January 14th.
CHURCH COUNCIL will meet on Thursday January 15th at 6:30pm.
