MONDAY THE BLOGGER SLEPT LATE

Well, physically there was no late sleeping, but mentally it was another matter, which is why this is posted so late in the week. The title above is a take off on a book in a series written about 30 years ago about a rabbi as a sleuth. Only the title of the book was ON FRIDAY THE RABBI SLEPT LATE, which of course would not be good for a rabbi as he prepares for the sabboth.
The early Sunday School at 8:30A went very well. There are some differences of opinion but we ordinarily view disagreements as challenges rather than offences. We eagerly await this Sunday when we will continue in the series. But remember, after this Sunday, Tom Johnson will not be with us again until April 19. So we will resume regular SS at 9:00A after this Sunday.
Ron Wedeking will be bringing us a message on March 1 out of Hebrews Chapter 9 entitled “Out with the Old – In with the New.” I suspect it will be about a new covenant. But the day isn’t over when the sermon ends. That’s because at 3:00P we will all meet at the Angst residence for food event and game night. Please call Connie at 221-8365 for directions and information regarding any special food item you might prefer to bring. Please know that you are welcome even if you haven’t had much of a chance to get to know many of us.
THE TRUTH PROJECT will be shown again at the Walker residence beginning March 12 at 7:00PM. It will run for 12 weeks. If you haven’t seen it, you won’t want to miss it. If you come, you will agree that you will never get a better chance to understand a Biblical world view than with this series. Please call Stan Walker at 331-7774 for details.
Finally, we were blessed last Sunday with Ivan Latrop from Oak Harbor as he encouraged us with a very timely message about wholesome thinking. We urge everyone to adopt that attitude as we continue in service to Jesus.
God bless and keep you this week.

IS WHOLESOME THINKING POSSIBLE?

Pastor Ivan Lathrop from the North end of our island will be sharing during the worship hour this coming Sunday about “Some Wholesome Thinking About Life.” Dr. Lathrop has amazing qualifications in his ability to share some of life’s experiences including being a Christian Missionary in Beirut, Lebanon during the terrible civil war there. We are looking forward to his sharing what God is revealing to us in these times. Our regular pastors Ron, and Darrell have the week off.
Sunday School hour, which normally starts at 9:00AM will begin a half hour earlier this week at 8:30AM. Professor Tom Johnson, retired president of George Fox College, will be presenting a class on “Interpretation of Scripture.” It is a class where we will learn how to learn as we read the Bible.
The Fun Night scheduled for February 21 has been rescheduled for March 1. It starts at 3:00PM. Please call Connie Angst at 331-8365 for details and directions.
Also, if you would like to hear any of the messages we enjoy, please contact Art Angst at 331-8365 and he will email it to you or he can burn a disk for you.
On March 1, Pastor Ron Wedeking will return to share a message out of Hebrews chapter 9 about “Out with the Old – In with the New.”

God keeps blessing us every day and we hope you can feel that way too.

THE GREAT FLOOD

Was the flood of Noah’s era real? Yes it was! Nothing in the study of the earth’s history refutes that. But did it really cover the whole earth? The Bible says it did, so why not believe that on faith just as Noah believed as he worked on the arc for 100 years? If you remain unconvinced, please come and hear Pastor Darrell Wenzek preach this coming Sunday on “The Great Flood.”
We will soon be offering a once per month special Sunday School class that will begin at 8:30AM rather than the usual 9:00AM. We are in the formative stages of this effort, but what we know now is that the class will be conducted by Dr. Tom Johnson, who is a retired president of George Fox College. We will be able to give you the study subject and the starting date soon. You will be interested in this class if you want a once per month college level class taught by a world class educator. How in the world can you pass that up? In the mean time, we are still conducting our regualr Sunday School program at all other times. Please come.
God keeps blessing our church with much answered prayer and developing events. Every day is exciting. So we do live expecting to see God’s work in the lives of His believers and in the life of our church.

GET READY FOR A STORM!!!!

That will be the title of Darrell Wenzek’s next sermon on February 8 which he will take out of Genesis 6:14-22. Of course God has promised that He will not flood the earth again. And it seems that the next worldwide catastrophe will involve fire. But none the less, we will likely be enduring some other storms in the mean time. We could be at the beginning of a serious economic storm right now. So hang on, trust in The Lord, and make sure you are familiar with His Word and His Will as you listen to good Biblical messages from Pastors Darrell and Ron.
Coming events include a “Game Night” that includes a dinner at the Angst’s home on Saturday, February 21. And we will be showing “THE TRUTH PROJECT” again at the Walker home during the Thursday evening study starting in about a month. We will keep you posted on when that will begin. We have a lot going on and are being blessed every day.
Please remember our PASS IT FORWARD ministry. If you know of someone who needs some help, please call Stan Walker at 331-7774
