ANNOUNCEMENTS:

  • Update on the Two Services Survey:  The elders feel that the 70/30 split (70% for the 9:00 service) was sufficient to move forward with plans for two services.  There will now be a lot of planning and recruiting volunteer help, so pray with us that we will have wisdom through this process.
  • Haiti Special Offering:  We will be announcing plans this morning for a special offering donation to orphanages in Haiti, so contact the office for details if you missed it.
  • Pray for Grace International’s church-planting ministry in Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world. Visit the table downstairs for the 2010 Prayer/Fast Chain, select a date to pray during Jan-Mar, and pick up your prayer materials.
