Reminder to the Youth & Foundation Classes
Chair Moving Today immediately after 2nd service
Anticipating February and March!
Thank you for your presence this morning! To our guests, we pray that you are
blessed and encouraged by our time together in worship. We are in the midst of
a sermon series on The Sermon on the Mount entitled The World Jesus
Imagines. In a world where we often focus on the externals, Jesus reminds us
that true righteousness begins with the heart! As one author put it a few years
ago, it is righteousness from the inside out!
As we anticipate the next two months at Monterey, let me encourage you to
mark these dates on your calendars:
Monterey Foundation Dinner. The Monterey Foundation will host its third
Annual Fund-Raising Dinner in the Worship Center on Thursday,
February 27th, at 6:30 p.m. Tickets will be available beginning next
Sunday; the cost is $350 for a table of eight, or $50 for individual tickets.
Approximately 200 attended last year’s dinner, and many of you have
made contributions to the Foundation. Since its beginning in 2008, the
Foundation has provided financial resources for world missions,
community ministries, and educational pursuits.
Kenya Coast Missions Conference. The Monterey Missions Committee
will host a Kenya Coast Missions Conference on Friday evening and
Saturday, March 28-29. We are grateful for our partnership with Jim &
Phyllis Beck who are in Lubbock for the spring semester, but who minister
in Malindi, Kenya from May-December each year. Our involvement in
that work continues to expand, and the conference will enable us to learn
even more about the opportunities for ministry in Kenya. Several folks
will speak during the conference, including two of the Beck’s African co-
workers, Daniel Chengo and Stephen Thethe, whom Monterey also
supports. We anticipate participation from other churches and
organizations who are connected to the work in Kenya, and I am prayerful
that a large group from Monterey will attend.
Annual Special Missions Contribution. Our third annual Special Missions
Contribution is scheduled for Sunday, March 30th. Our goal is $110,000,
the amount given in our 2013 contribution. This special contribution
enables us to honor our commitment in a number of mission efforts beyond
our regular operating budget. I encourage you to prayerfully consider your
participation in this year’s contribution.
City-Wide Worship Assembly. We will join with other churches of Christ
across our city for a city-wide worship assembly on Sunday, March 30th,
at 5:00 p.m. in the Civic Center Theatre. It will be a great opportunity to
enjoy fellowship with brothers and sisters from other churches in Lubbock.
