Hey Seniors! Did you know that there is a FREE 

lunch just for you offered every Wednesday? It is at

First Presbyterian Church, located at 9th and Rankin

(across from Central Middle School). We have been

asked to spread the word to our students about this

opportunity, so here is your invitation!

Have you felt it? Are you feeling it? I hope so, because

we have just celebrated the birth of our Lord and Savior

 Jesus Christ, and we are entering a new year standingon the promises of God! They are promises of hope and

peace! They are promises lled with love and joy! And they

are promises made to each of us – the promise to never

leave us nor forsake us, the promise to forgive our failures

and shortcomings, and the promise to love each of us

unconditionally.

These are promises worth celebrating! Not just at

Christmas, or Easter, but every day of the year! That’s why

we come together on Sunday mornings to worship. That’s

why we gather on Wednesday nights to fellowship and

study. That’s why we reach out in service to our neighbor.

In all these things we are celebrating the promises of God!

Mark and I are excited for the New Year, and we

hope you are too! 2012 is going to be lled with many

opportunities to celebrate! From service projects to

fellowship dinners. From dodgeball tournaments to student

led worship. From retreats to mission trips! It’s all a

celebration!

And we want you to celebrate with us! Come, stand

on the promises of God with us as we celebrate life, life

abundant, and life everlasting!

Peace, Hope, Joy and Love!
