Would you like to get to know other families in the

church? Then this is a great opportunity for you. The basic

idea is that your family will be joined with two other

family units, for the purpose of fellowship, one night a

month for three (3) months. You decide whether the

gathering will be a full dinner or a dessert fellowship. We

would like to start this in the New Year. You can pick up a

family registration form in your Sunday School Class or in

the Church Office. After sign-ups, we will create groups

to meet and enjoy the fellowship of new church friends.

James 1:22, “But be doers of the word, and

not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”

As we have been given the opportunity to begin another

year together with Christ, I want to offer you a challenge.

With a little imagination, you can picture the hearers

of James’ day. They were showing up with Bible and

notebook in hand on Sunday morning, looking forward

to the time of being fed, enjoying one another’s company,

and making church one of the highlights of their week.

But as they went home, they safely tucked away what they

had learned and prepared for the routine of the week.

We, too, define our Christian experience in terms

of church attendance. Church attendance is vitally

important. Too often, however, that is the extent of our

experience. Basically, we have defined our Christian

experience as sitting and listening to other people talk

about the Word of God on Sunday mornings only. For

James, that just wasn’t cutting it.

As important as the things at church are on Sunday and

Wednesday, the goal of God’s grace in our lives is much

more. Reading, listening, taking notes, and discussing are

designed to be catalysts to action. If you are one of those

sideline Christians, 2009 is the time for you take action,

put on your helmet (salvation), and get into the game.

The challenge is, to get the most out of your Sunday, you

must connect on Monday. Begin with the Lord and His

Word before you go out in the morning. While you go

about your routine during the day, be aggressive in your

witness for Christ. On Monday nights, join us at 6:30

p.m. in Building A as we put on our helmets and get into

the game of life. It will make you a doer of God’s great

commission and not just a hearer.

My prayer for you in 2009 is that you have a blessed and

productive New Year.

Adult Reading ClubLooking for something relaxing to do after the holidays? What better

way to fill those winter days by slowing down and enjoying a book. It’s

time for the Adult Reading Club,

January 18 - February 22.

You can travel through this great land in which we live, make something

for the deck, plan a garden, study the birds, improve your health, draw

closer to our Lord, become a better prayer warrior, or travel down the

road that Jesus, David, Esther, Moses, Elijah, Ruth, etc., traveled. Maybe

you would like to read fiction that’s full of history, Bible stories, mystery,

or romance. The Media Library is full of good reading!

Just read one book from one of the following categories- Fiction,

Numbers, and Biography - and you’ll receive gifts as you read. At the

end of the reading club, we will have a drawing for some really nice gifts,

for example, a $30.00 gift certificate to Jim & Nick’s as one. Hope to

see you in the Media Library!

Children at HalcyonThe children in Halcyon’s Good News Club are in need of leaders. TRBC already has two teachers, but we need three leader helpers. These helpers

would be involved in gathering materials, organizing refreshments, and taking care of paperwork.

Contact Ruth Givens at 271-3363 if you are interested.
