Psalm 46:10

Just like a conversation with anyone, if we do not stop talking, we will never hear what the other person has to say. So let's be still and give God the opportunity to speak to us.

If you have questions, email Kathleen Chandler.

We will be observing the Lord's supper on January 30th. If you will be watching online and would like elements, we have them at COG in small, sealed containers. Email Anita to coordinate a pickup day and time.

Boost resumes on January 26th at 6:30 pm. We hope you will join us as we gather to pray, grow, and fellowship together.

We are asking you to bring your favorite sweet or savory bread to share for fellowship time afterward.

Science and religion are often portrayed as complete opposites. Yet it is obvious that the natural world “declares the glory of God” (see Ps 19 and Ps 148). Come investigate the scientific evidence for God as the creator of the universe using the book and video series God’s Crime Scene by J. Warner Wallace. This 8-week series starts Sunday, January 23rd. The class will meet from 8:45 am to 9:45 am in the South Building Room 7. There is no cost. Email Tom King for more details and sign up at the Get Connected table in back of the sanctuary.

Use the link below to sign up for your free account, and you’re all set to explore more than 20,000 videos. We pray that this resource will be a blessing for you and your family!

If you have been attending COG for a while and want to learn more about what it means to be a member, your opportunity is on January 23rd right after service in Pastor Joel's office. Child care will be provided if needed. Sign up at the Get Connected table in the back of the sanctuary.

Eric Paulsen is looking for someone at COG to be a local point of contact for the Nicaragua mission and events at COG. This person would organize and oversee the Love Baskets silent auction and help Eric with local communications for the Nicaragua mission. If you are interested, please can contact Eric via email.

Life in the Presence of God: Practices for Living in the Light of Eternity by Kenneth Boa is helping us learn to cultivate a greater awareness of God in our everyday living using biblical foundations, living and historical examples, and evidence from neuroscience. We can walk and abide in God's presence by rethinking how we use our time and technology to make room for God through practical exercises and disciplines that will help us draw close to God.

Men, do you need a place to be encouraged and challenged? Join Pastor Joel for a time of looking into God's Word and applying it to your life. We meet from 6:00 to 7:00 am on Tuesday mornings. Email Pastor Joel if you have questions. We are meeting in person in the North Building.

Thank you, Chefs of Grace, for providing delicious snacks before service on December 26th. It was a great opportunity to come together before service to fellowship.
