 WFPC Officers' Column
So what do we hear that truly matters, and how do we follow the Jew who came from Nazareth?
On Tuesday afternoons encouragement and academic tutoring happen at the community building of Hope Village apartments. Recently nine tutors and eight children worked together. In the midst of high energy, lots of homework, low self-confidence, and snacks, we persevered. Jesus was there.
Driving home I hummed
Over my head, I hear music in the air
Over my head, I hear music in the air
There must be a God somewhere
Now when I think on Jesus, I hear music in the air
Are you listening for Jesus?
If you are interested in tutoring with us, please contact
Ginny Poulsen ewpoulsen@gmail.com
All materials are provided, and the tutors help each other!

New Church Software!
We have switched to a new software package, called Breeze, in the church office. If you have the Church Life app on your phone, it's time for you to delete that and get access to the church membership directory and calendar on your computer, tablet, and phone!
You will be receiving an email from "officeadmin@wakeforestpres.org" that will invite you to create a Wake Forest Presbyterian Church account. We've put together an easy-to-follow set of instructions on how to do that; click here to access it.
Once you've created your account, please go to your own information to make sure everything is correct. You can then download the Breeze app on your smartphone:
- Search for "breezechms" in the app store (see the logo in this article)
- After you download the app, open it and click "connect"
- Enter our church code, "wfpc"
- You will then be prompted for your username and password, which you created by following the instructions above
If you have questions or run into trouble, please contact our Office Manager, Cindy Shriver, at officeadmin@wakeforestpres.org or 919-556-7777. Cindy will be in the CLC during dinner on Wednesday, February 7, if you'd like some hands-on help!

Balancing M&Ms Women's Bible Study
Wednesdays 6:30 to 7:30 in Blue Mod Room 4
There's a new group on Wednesday nights! Ladies, we will focus on finding balance in multitasking. We'll do a six-week study on some of the women of the Bible who were successful in balancing expectations and their sanity using Jen Hatmaker's study, "Makeover: Revitalizing the Many Roles You Fill."

SALT Coed Study
1st and 3rd Tuesdays at 7:00 in B103
We invite everyone invited to join us as we progress in our knowledge and understanding of what it means to be a follower of Christ. We will begin a new study on February 6 using "A Bigger Table: Building Messy, Authentic, and Hopeful Spiritual Community" by John Pavlovitz. This book asks if organized Christianity can find a new way of faithfully continuing the work Jesus began two thousand years ago, where everyone gets a seat at the table. Contact Sharon at sharonline@nc.rr.com or Renee at lrkzengel@me.com for more information!

Join the annual community-wide sweet potato bagging event starting at 9 AM on Saturday, February 24, at St. Catherine's Catholic Church in Wake Forest. We will be bagging at least 40,000 pounds of sweet potatoes that were grown on Jason Brown's farm near Louisburg. The bags will be picked up by dozens of food pantries covering much of central North Carolina. This is a great event to bring the kids and grandchildren! Wear warm clothes. You may want to bring stools to sit on. Contact: George Shaw (
g0b07shaw@gmail.com)

Super Bowl Blood Drive
Spend your Super Bowl pre-game in the CLC at our Red Cross Blood Drive on Sunday, February 4! Enjoy pregame coverage on our big screen as you give the gift of life. We are filling over 140 donor appointments before game time and desperately need your donation to replenish a depleted blood supply due to winter cold and storms. How can you participate? Sign up to be a blood donor online through the Red Cross by clicking here and using location code "WFPC". Childcare will be provided throughout the afternoon, as will delicious pregame/post-donation snacks.

Body and Soul
How Is Flu Spread?
- Most experts think that flu viruses are spread mainly by droplets made when people with flu cough, sneeze, or talk. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly inhaled into the lungs. Less often, a person might also get flu by touching a surface or object that has flu virus on it and then touching their own mouth or nose.
- People with flu can spread it to others up to about six feet away.
- Most healthy adults may be able to infect other people beginning one day before symptoms develop, and up to five to seven days after becoming sick. Children may pass the virus for longer than seven days.
- Symptoms start one to four days after the virus enters the body. That means that you may be able to pass on the flu to someone else before you know you are sick, as well as while you are sick.
- Some people can be infected with the flue virus but have no symptoms. During this time, those persons may still spread the virus to others.
