Loving Others Toward Christ
Jesus has called us to bring people to saving faith in him. We bring people to Jesus by loving people to Jesus. People don't care how much we know until they know how much we care. If we are to be a church that brings people to Christ, we must have amazing hospitality. We also need to be there for those who don't know Jesus, caring for them in love right where they live. And, yes, we also need to know how to share the good news of Jesus in a loving and compelling way. Join us as we dive into this important series: Loving Others Toward Christ.

Feb 26 - Led by Tony Campbell, Fireside Room
Come and listen to Pastor Tony talk about what he's seeing in the RCA and in the church worldwide as he travels and interacts with other leaders.
Thy Kingdom Come: Practical Applications of the Resurrection
March 5 - May 7 - Led by Bren Shantz, Fireside Room
This study is based on the book
Surprised by Hope: Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church by NT Wright. Bren will present 6 video sessions to talk about specific topics from the book, with lots of group discussion before and after. He will be using the Easter season - which focuses so exclusively on the act of Jesus' resurrection - to move beyond the abstract theology of life after death to speak openly about how the hope of resurrection might practically and profoundly impact our daily lives right now.

Then invite your friends, neighbors, or family members to join us for a fun night of trivia, led by MI Team Trivia. Enter as a team of 5-8 and work together to answer the questions. No team? No problem! We will place you with an existing team or form a team with others who come solo.

Gardening Help
We need some help in keeping our beautiful gardens looking that way. We are hoping to map out the gardens into 4 sections and are asking for people to take responsibility for one (or more) of the sections. This includes planting, pruning, and weeding throughout the season. If you have an interest in taking a section (or even help once in a while) please contact Roger Hoogewind at 401-8631 or
rogerdhoog@hotmail.com.
Do you know a Snow Plow Service? Next winter we will be looking into a new Snow Plow Service, but want to do some contacts now. Give your info to Roger Hoogewind at 401-8631 or
rogerdhoog@hotmail.com. Thanks!
