Our condolences to the family of Litta Rowe. Litta entered rest on Wed. January 16, 2019. Her victory celebration was held here on Fri., January 18, 2019.  May the comfort of God’s promises strengthen the family.
 
The new Worship Assistant Sheet is on the table in the Narthex.  Prayerfully consider volunteering to help keep our services running smoothly.
 
STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT: John 2:3 – “When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, ‘They have no wine.’ ” Behold the faith of Mary: she sees a problem and simply lays it before her Son and Lord, “They have no wine.” She does not offer a proposed solution, she does not demand, she simply states her need and waits for the Lord’s response. She trusts that the Lord is a giver, and she knows that He always provides. May such a faith be ours.
