Ask and you will have, seek and you will find describes the message of the Prophets of God. “You do not have because you have not asked, or you seek what you want from false gods, while we could be receiving the blessings we need from God. Who gives good gifts, that we may have life with the fullness of relationship with God and justly with one another. May we learn from the prophets and consequences God gave in the Old Testament how, and the blessings of life with God. We pray you are blessed to worship with this service.

The “Offering Collection Can” will be on the table for the entire month of January so be sure to drop in some coins to hear your “Noisy Offering” or for a less noisy offering – soft bills.
OFFERING ENVELOPES CAN BE FOUND ON THE USHER’S CABINET IN
THE NARTHEX OR ON THE CONSOLE OUTSIDE THE CHURCH OFFICE.
IT IS OFFICIAL!!! The “Steeple Fundraising Account” is now open if you would like to donate funds to replace the existing, disintegrating steeple which is causing water to enter the Sanctuary. Due to a generous donation, we are assured of having the funds for the Steeple project, so we are also receiving contributions to the Church Sign which was put on hold this spring. Please clearly note “STEEPLE FUND” or “CHURCH SIGN” on your envelope and on the memo line. You can place your donation in the
offering plate OR in the collection can on the foyer table.
The 2021 YEARBOOK is now being organized. If you have any changes i.e. address, telephone number, no land line, cell phone number, family members, e-mail address, etc. PLEASE let the Church Office know so they can be placed correctly in the YEARBOOK.
