“Holy Grounds,” A Family Night Café:

Questions Answered!

Who: East Glenville Community Church adults, teens, kids, families What: An evening of memorable performances; music and drama, snacks and fellowship Where: Our own Buchanan Hall When: Friday night March 1st, beginning at 7pm Why: It will be fun! Well…it’s also great when the family of God gets together to share their gifts AND celebrate the creativity of others.

This has been a fun and popular event for our church, so you will want to sign up your act early! Be creative! Entertaining ideas could include a comedy routine, a piano solo, a dramatic reading, a vocal duet, skit, or family band! Beginning Sunday, February 3rd, you will be able to sign up your act with Melisa Olson. The opportu-nity to sign up will continue for the following weeks, concluding on Sunday, February 24th. If you are interested in doing some baking for “Holy Grounds” please see Brenda Mills. Lots of goodies are very appreciated! We will once again be asking our teens to practice their serving skills by waiting on tables. This is a wonderful event to share with your entire family! We hope to see you there!

With the words, “... do this in remembrance of me,” in Luke 22:19, Jesus instructed us to participate in communion. The Chris-tian Education Board feels that it is important to include the Lord’s Supper in the spiritual training of our youth. The board is excited to announce the beginning of a four week study of the Lord’s Sup-per led by Ron and Sherri Benner. This study is primarily intended for third and fourth grade students and will take the place of their normal Sunday school curriculum. Older students are also wel-come. We ask that the students participate with a parent if possi-ble.

The study will be during Sunday school starting March 3rd. We will work from the workbook “The Lord’s Supper… Let’s Get Ready”. There will be some homework. On April 7th, the congregation will recognize the participants during service and they will celebrate communion, as the Spirit guides them. Please sign-up in advance sign-up by February 24th. Contact Ron or Sherri Benner at 399-5868 or e-mail @ rbenner2@nycap.rr.com.

Lose It For Life is not about dieting. It’s not

about exercising. There are no quick fixes, magic

diets, or promises of a thin body. Losing the

weight and keeping it off may have more to do

with changing what you’re thinking and feeling

at any given moment than what you’re eating or

whether you’re in a regular exercise program. Lose It For Life is

about creating a lifestyle of permanent weight management that

emphasizes the whole you: your spirit, mind, body and emotions.

Come join us on Monday, Feb 18th at 6:45pm - No cost!
