THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND:
(1). Garage Sale for Clearview Christian Camp: will be in the spring. If you have items you would like to donate, you can either set them aside at home, or they can be put on the tables in the large classroom downstairs.
(2). Canadian Tire Money: can be given to Linda. This will be used to purchase something for use in the kitchen at Clearview Christian Camp next summer. So far we have $29.80. In 2010 we purchased a coffee maker and in 2011 a mixette.
(3). Moose Jaw & District Food Bank: all non-perishable grocery items are gratefully accepted and can be placed in the container in the foyer.
(4). For Western Christian College: Campbell Soup labels. The whole label--ensure that the UPC bar code is in tack. Campbell’s Soup gives the school a rebate for labels sent in.
THANK YOU!: -- Darrell delivered 79 lbs. of groceries to the Moose Jaw & District Food Bank on Tuesday. Thanks so much to those who bring for this cause. Your continued generosity is appreciated.
SPECIAL COLLECTION: -- as January is a month with five Sundays, we will have our first special collection of 2012 this month—Sunday January 29th and/or Sunday Feb. 5th. This collection will be for maintenance work on our building.
MOOSE JAW CHURCH OF CHRIST ANNUAL MEETING: -- will be Sunday, Feb. 26, 2012, 1:15 to 2:15 p.m. A recap of income, expenses and various reports for 2010 will be reviewed and the budget for 2012 presented. All members are encouraged to attend.
Just an early FYI: we will have a pot-luck lunch at noon on Sunday, Feb. 26th.
CLEARVIEW CHRISTIAN CAMP: -- we know this past week with it’s minus 35 to 40 temperatures likely didn’t have you thinking about Camp—but, we know that the start of another year of activities at Clearview will be here before we know it! Moose Jaw will once again be looking after the Grades 2 to 5 week which is July 8 to 13. This is an amazing week—so much good, sound teaching and so much great fun and fellowship, and yes, SOOO much work! Until you’ve been involved in a week at Camp you have no idea what a great experience this is. This is such a wonderful age group of kids—their minds are like sponges and it’s a real pick-me-up being around them. We have some volunteers already but can always use more. Think about it over the next while and see if you can work it into your summer schedule. You’ll be glad you did!! Our craft girls (Donna & Bonnie) have the following list of things that are needed for the craft projects this year. Anything we can get this way means that there won’t have to be as much purchased and taken out of the Camp budget. Thanks for anything you can donate.
pillowcases (don’t need to be new, but need to be in good shape);
tea towels (don’t need to be new, but need to be in good shape);
ribbon (any width, color etc.);
glass jars (any size—they will go through them and see what they can use);
buttons (all shapes, sizes and colors);
two liter milk cartons (rinsed and clean).
SISTER TRIANGLE WINTER RETREAT 2012: -- will be Feb. 24-25th at the Kenosee Inn in Moose Mountain Provincial Park. Speaker: Roberta (Watts) Davis. Theme: “This Is My Story”. Reservation information: contact Marilyn Muller at mairne.muller1@gmail.com
Retreat information: contact Sara Pippus at tspippus@sasktel.net
“I keep my ideals, because in spite of everything, I still believe that people
are really good at heart.” -- Anne Frank
NOTICE RECEIVED: -- Friday is the deadline to register for the Winnipeg Church of Christ’s Mountain of Fun on the Prairies ski retreat, which is Feb. 3-5th. These: “Transformed”. Speaker: Jason Whitley, youth minister for the Broadway Church of Christ in Paducha, Kentucky. There may be information on the bulletin board with contact names and numbers, but if not, check with Darrell.
CRAIG, LEAH & LENA REID: -- when Craig was with us on Dec. 11th, he shared some information regarding their planned trip to Ecuador. Following is more information:
“From January 8 to March 5, 2012, I will be interning in Ecuador under my brother-in-law Travis Sass for academic credit. The tuition costs of the courses will be paid by our family as it is my education. Leah and Lena are joining me. While I am fulfilling the requirements of my program, Leah will be ministering alongside of me as an English conversation partner and will also be an eager participant in Travis & Alicia’s work as opportunities are presented. We are trying to do our best to do this two month mission trip as economically as possible. Your prayerful consideration of how you might help is greatly appreciated. As we do not have a sending congregation due to how quickly this opportunity arose, we are unable to offer tax receipts. If you can help us out with a donation, it would be greatly appreciated. Cheques should be made payable to Craig and Leah Reid and marked “For Ecuador” and can be mailed to our home address in Regina: #2-2477 Francis St., Regina, Sask. S4N 2R1. We do not have a deadline for support. As such, we will be humbly accepting donations over the course of the next while. Depending on my access to a computer, I will blog my experience on craiginecuador.blogspot.com ”
Even though the Reid’s are already in Ecuador, any donations toward expenses incurred would be greatly appreciated.
CELL PHONE vs. THE BIBLE … WHAT IF?
I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phones.
What if we carried it around in our purse or pocket?
What if we turned back to get it if we forgot it?
What if we flipped through it several times a day?
What if we treated it like we couldn’t live without it?
What if we gave it to our kids as a gift?
What if we used it as we traveled?
What if we used it in case of an emergency?
What if stores had to put up signs saying, “No Bible reading while at the cash register?”
What if the authorities had to pass legislations saying, “You must listen to the Bible on CD because too many people are having accidents while reading their Bible while driving.”
And what if establishments had rules that you had to close your Bible like they do “all cell phones must be turned off”?
This is something to make you go … hmmm … where is my Bible? -- Author Unknown
People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered. LOVE THEM ANYWAY …
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. DO GOOD ANYWAY …
If you’re successful, you’ll win false friends and true enemies. SUCCEED ANYWAY …
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. BE HONEST AND FRANK ANYWAY …
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. DO GOOD ANYWAY …
The biggest people with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest people with the smallest minds. THINK BIG ANYWAY …
People favor underdogs, but follow top dogs. FIGHT FOR SOME UNDERDOGS ANYWAY …
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. BUILD ANYWAY …
Give the world the best you’ve got and you’ll get kicked in the teeth. GIVE THE WORLD THE BEST YOU’VE GOT ANYWAY! -- Author Unknown
