New Worship Series Kicking off THIS SUNDAY!
The purpose of the season after Christmas is to prepare the congregation for its
 work of living out the way of Jesus. We are called to remember and reflect on the
beginning and the intermediate stages of the discipleship journey we’ve undertaken
and are actively inviting others to join us on. Our worship series, “The Great Invitation,”
will encourage us to extend Christ’s invitation to “come and see” what he is all
 about and what discipleship looks like. Join us… and bring a friend!

All hands on deck THIS SUNDAY after worship!
We need as many helpers as we can get to de-decorate from Christmas. The church
was beautifully adorned for the holidays, but now it is time to do our part in putting
it all away. If you are able, please stay after the 10:30 a.m. service this Sunday
(1/8/17) to help our Worship Committee in this task.

God Squad Clothing Drive is now in full swing!
Bring in any clothes/linens/shoes in a kitchen-sized garbage bag and leave on the
front of the stage.
God Squad will take care of moving the bags.  Articles can be brought in until noon
on February 4th.  Any questions on what to bring in?  God Squad can help you out.
ALL proceeds go directly to the youth Summer Appalachia Service project mission
trip.

NEW OPPORTUNITY STARTING NEXT WEEK!
Join us every Wednesday morning from 9:30-11 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall for Prana
Flow® Yoga. Our own Tiffany McCann will instruct the class, encouraging you to calm
your mind, strengthen your body and open your heart. All levels are welcome for
this active class that concludes with a peaceful savasana (resting meditation).
Bring a mat and water. Cost: Suggested donation is $20 per class or $80 for six
classes. All proceeds will be donated to the UMCRB building maintenance budget.
Thank you Tiffany!
