Dear Fourth Church,


Good morning! The new semester of Sunday School classes for adults started up last Sunday; please visit the Adult Discipleship webpage for class descriptions.


Men of all ages are invited to gather as Men's Breakfasts resume next Tuesday at 6:30 a.m. in the Upper Room. Share praises, prayer needs, and fellowship over a hot breakfast as Dr. Todd M. Smedley teaches from the Scriptures on "Reclaiming Lost Virtues." Cost is $4.50. No reservation required.


NOTES:

  • New Members Class: It's not too late to join! Whether you are new or have attended Fourth for some time, you're invited to get to know the church better and prayerfully consider becoming a member. Meets the next six Sundays at 9:30 a.m. in Room 130. Visit the Membership & Baptism webpage to learn more or register here.


  • Youth: A Parents Meeting, including lunch, will be held after the 11:00 a.m. service on Sunday, downstairs in Room 007. Please email Noel Bradley at nbradley@4thpres.org if you'd like to attend but haven't responded via Evite. Also, the high school Thursday Breakfast Club will now be happening each month, beginning this week at 6:30 a.m. in Room 102. Visit the youth webpage for details.


  • Mission Trip: Interested in serving on a missions trip abroad? Attend an informational meeting Tuesday, January 24, 7:00-9:00 p.m. in The Commons (Room 231), to learn more about plans for the trip to support the Philemon Project Grow Center, a preschool in Lebanon, May 19-27. Contact Janie Randell at jrandell@4thpres.org for more information.


VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY:

  • As Todd mentioned from the pulpit on Sunday, the Welcome Team is seeking additional greeters and ushers. Joining the Welcome Team is a terrific way to serve your church on Sundays and get to know (and be known by) fellow congregants. Please email Robert Labutta at welcometeam@4thpres.org to express your interest.

Grace to you,


Susan Kemp
