“Can
We Be Better?”
Paul struggled with living a life
that God would have him to live. In Romans 7:19-25 we hear Paul’s
struggle between the Law of God and the Law of the Flesh. With Christ
guiding him, he could change for the better. We do not have to live our
lives in a rut. We can be changed by the Spirit of Christ and, not only
receive blessing from God, but be a blessing to others.
Sunday we will see how Christ can make us better. Patience, kindness and
self-control are fruits of God’s spirit that help us develop a
meaningful life. We will see examples of people who have changed. Come
and receive a blessing. Come and change for the better.
In Christ,
Upper Room Sponsors Silent Auction
The Upper Room class will sponsor a silent auction
to benefit the campership fund at Camp Wesley Woods, February 16-17.
Items will be on display and bidding will begin at the Youth Spaghetti
Supper on February 16. Bidding will end at 9:30 on February 17 so that
the names of the highest bidders may be announced at the 10:30 service.
Please be prepared to pay for your item after the 10:30 service. We
would like to ask individuals, Sunday school classes or other groups to
please contribute items or services to be auctioned off for this worthy
cause. Thanks to your generosity in our previous auctions, many children
who could not afford to attend camp have been able to spend a week in
the great outdoors learning about God and making friends. If you have
any questions, please call Barbara Tiller at 981-9006 or Nikki Fordham
at 977-4185.

Many
Thanks
Thank you for every one involved with the
Resurrection retreat this past weekend. The weather was cold but the
worship was hot! The speaker, Lowell McNaey, shared with us the keys for
living a “radical” life:
1. Face your giants
2. Be empowered by the Holy Spirit
3. Be fully committed
4. Be revolutionary
Great fun was had by all, even the leaders who may have stayed up later
than they normally do. Thank you to our chaperones, who truly showed
their faith in speech, life, and love.
