 E-Connection January 17, 2017 |
|
| |
January brings newness. January also brings cold and dreary and sometimes wet weather for us here in West Virginia.
As the holidays have come and gone and the bills start to pile up, people tend to feel the overwhelming sensation of life coming back at them full force, as if the string of Holidays at the end of the year give them a chance to pause for a bit.
A new "day", not necessarily another holiday, has even been named Blue Monday, which was yesterday, January 16th, this year (typically the 3rd Monday of January) where it is said to be the most depressing day of the year.
But the Bible says in 1 Peter 5:6-7, "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you." (NRSV)
What a wonderful reminder that God is with us, always, and He cares for us dearly. Now would be a good time to remind your friends and neighbors who might not know that they have a God who loves them and wants them to cast their anxiety on him. God cares for us; now let us also care for others.

T-Shirt Donations
The Girl Scouts are looking for donations of clean, unwanted t-shirts.
All sizes, colors, and conditions welcome. We will be using these to make no-sew blankets for the Flood victims, which our Church will deliver directly. Please bring donations to the church office, or call Melissa Oxley to make arrangements at 304-545-0855. All unused parts of the shirts will then be donated to COM for their rags. Thank you.

Construction Update
This week they have continued to lay block around the gym and elevator shaft areas. Also they have connected the gymnasium and classroom wing together with beams. They have continued to put down decking in the classroom wing for the future flooring. The project appears to be moving along very well.
