This year we will be commissioning 3 new Stephen Ministers on January 22, and this is also Stephen Ministry Sunday. Once again we are ask-ing for All Stephen Ministers both active and in-active to participate on that Sunday by helping out with some of the duties for that day. We will need Stephen Ministers for Greeters, Ushers, Readers, Communion Servers, and a Temple talk (this is only 2 minute about your experience with Stephen Ministry) for all 3 services, there is a sign-up sheet on the kiosk. We would like everyone to wear their pins and a name tag (name tags will be provided that Sunday). If you have any ques-tions please contact Tom Yarger, Jan Daniels, or Karen Maier.

The Temporary

and the Eternal

So we do not lose heart. Even though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day. For this slight momentary affliction is preparing us for an eternal weight of glory beyond all measure, because we look not at what can be seen but at what cannot be seen; for what can be seen is temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18
