THE COMEBACK CONTINUES SUNDAY!
These past few years have been rough. There are so many things that we’ve missed. Now that we’re doing things that we haven’t done in a while, we’re making some major comebacks. What if instead of getting back to the way things were, we focused on getting back to what truly matters? Let’s be honest; we’ve always done things that simply never worked. Rather than going back to that, let’s make a comeback to the ideal. With all this newness, let’s be intentional. As we make our comeback, let’s do so faithfully with all of the abundance that Jesus offers us. Who wants to make a comeback?
WE HAVE A NEW YOUTUBE CHANNEL!!
From time to time, either Facebook or YouTube goes down on a Sunday morning, which is one of the reasons why we stream to multiple platforms. If you ever experience technical difficulties on a Sunday morning, go to wayneumc.org and try the different links under Join Us for Worship. You can stream our services on either Facebook or YouTube without creating an account.
Join us in-person or online Sundays at 10:30am!

FAITHFUL SERVANT, SCOTT WILSON
During worship on January 15, the Leadership Team presented the Faithful Servant Award to recognize some of the Faithful Servants of Wayne Church who continually do God’s work... sometimes seen, but often not. First to receive this recognition is Scott Wilson who has been instrumental not only as head of the Trustees but also led the way in many a mission trip. We are blessed to have him in our family! Thank you Scott for your tireless service!

DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS TO BE CHOSEN?
When: Mondays at 7:00pm in the Theater
It’s Official!  THE CHOSEN is returning to Wayne Church!!! The Chosen is an historical drama television series created, directed and co-written by filmmaker Dallas Jenkins. It is the first multiseason series about the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth. Primarily set in Judaea and Galilee in 1st century, the series revolves around Jesus and the different people who met and followed him. This binge-worthy show has turned heads around the world as Dallas Jenkins seeks to share the life of Jesus with One Billion people worldwide!

Wayne Church completed two sessions of weekly gatherings to watch and discuss each episode of Seasons 1 and 2.  Season 3 is now available for viewing, so we will begin our Season 3 session.  Each gathering includes watching one episode with approximately an hour of discussion afterward.  ALL ARE WELCOME!  No RSVP required!  COME AND SEE!
THE JESUS REVOLUTION
The Wayne Church “Adult Connections” Team cordially invites you to a special Movie Night adventure! The Jesus Revolution is a feature film being released in theaters worldwide in late February.  The cast includes Kelsey Grammer and Jonathan Roumie (known for playing Jesus in the television series, The Chosen.)  It is based on author and pastor Greg Laurie and his book Jesus Revolution.   Inspired by a true story, the film follows one young hippie’s quest in the 1970s for belonging and liberation that leads not only to peace, love, and rock and roll, but that sets into motion a new counterculture crusade—a Jesus Movement—landing a cover article in TIME Magazine and changing the course of history. ALL are welcome to join us!  The specific date and time will be shared soon.  Please watch for more details soon.

ALL WOMEN WELCOME!
When: Alternating Wednesdays at 7pm in the Well

TUESDAY MORNING ON ISAIAH
When: Tuesdays from 10-11:30am on Zoom
The book of Isaiah switches between promises of judgment and restoration. The words of the prophet Isaiah are a reminder of humanity's sin, the judgment we all deserve, and how God displays His glory by saving sinners. This study reveals how the prophetic promise of cosmic renewal truly anticipates the work of Jesus Christ, the servant-king whose death brings new life for all who place their trust in him. Please contact Nancy Brown by the button below with any questions to get set up for Zoom.
PRAYER 103 ON ZOOM
When: Thursdays, 7-8:30pm 
Prayer 103 is a study on prayer, to reinforce our foundations about why, what and how we pray. Based on "Praying to Change Your Life" by Pastor Suzette Caldwell, this class will help us gain comfort, confidence and effectiveness in praying over any topic on earth.  Phillipians 4:1 says it best: Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. This class will be led by Charles Caristan. Questions or to sign up, please contact Charles below.
WEDNESDAY MORNINGS
When: Wednesdays at 9:30am on Zoom
This fall we will be diving into the world of works by CS Lewis, including the beloved Narnia story, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, among others of his thought-provoking books. If you have questions or would like to join in on this study, please contact Katie McNabb below.
MEN'S BREAKFAST STUDY
When: 1st & 3rd Thursdays at 6:30am
Where: in the Well AND on Zoom
Dates: February 16
The book of Romans is considered by many to be one of the most important books ever written on the Christian faith. Writing to Christians, the apostle Paul defines the gospel, explores its depths, and discusses its significance and implications for the Christian life. Discover the timeless relevance of the book of Romans and encounter the power of its gospel. This study will be in person AND via zoom. Please contact Pastor Greg with any questions or to get set up for zoom via the button below.

WE HAVE A CHURCH DIRECTORY!
SEND US YOUR PICTURE!
The church directory is an awesome tool to have in your pocket! Especially if you meet someone new and you want to make sure you put the name with a face! All church members are listed in the directory, and it is perfectly SAFE! You can only access it through the email the church office has on file for you and even then, you need to create a profile to access. Now is the perfect time to update your picture in the directory!! There are MANY new faces. Families have grown and are still growing, and we haven’t seen each other in person for a couple of years! It will be a refresher for all of us, as well as, help Pastor Greg learn who we are.
