FOUNDATIONS 101 Offering

Foundations 101, 201, and 301 are three courses we offer that we think every member of our church should take. Though 201 just started there are many of you who did not get to participate in Foundations 101 in the fall. We plan to offer this course regularly and right now there are two options. 1) Ladies, Rhonda LeClerg has offered to lead a group through 101 for anyone who wants to meet during the day. Please contact Rhonda (941-7241) if you are interested. 2) Jim Fuller will lead a group (open to anyone) on Sunday mornings during the Sunday School hour starting February 2 in room 211.

moved fairly easy but the back-

yard is another story. That Bermuda grass has deep and very

strong roots in the ground and it

is not easy to dig up. This passage

reminds me of the importance of

being “rooted” in Christ. My fruit is determined by my roots! I need

to continue to GROW. That is the

heart of our church, to encourage

and help our members GROW in

their faith.

I hope each of you will take advantage of the many opportuni-

ties in our church to GROW.

Please look over this newsletter for

many of those opportunities and if you have an interest and do not

see it there, call me and we can

talk more.

Have a blessed week and I

hope to see you on Sunday! —Dan

PS Please put the Feb. 2 football

game at 2 pm on your calendar.

Come, cheer, and support our

players!

“Therefore as you have re-ceived Christ Jesus the Lord,

so walk in Him, having been

firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and estab-

Bermuda grass in the back. The

CPC MEN’S RETREAT 2014 — DISCIPLESHIP AND YOU Hickory Knob State Park, February 28 — March 2, 2014

ALL IN THE FAMILY

Last week CARE Committee decided that we would work to put together "goody bags" for

the pastors to take when they visit people in the hospital. Here is a listing of things that we thought would be good to put in the bags: note pad and pen; lotion; dental floss; chap stick; Daily

Bread and or devotional book; hand sanitizer; Kleenex; fluffy socks; and mints. If you have ideas of other

things that would be good, please let us know. You are invited to participate in this service to our church family by donating any items that you would like. There will be a shopping bag at the Reception Desk for you to place

anything you bring. Thank you for any help you can give, know telling who you will be blessing! See you Sunday! —Love, Helen
