Active Adults 50 Plus January Brochure
Children in Crisis was founded to give sibling groups hope and a safe place to live staying together. We invite you to join us in keeping their food pantry organized. You would join a team who serve about 2 hours, one Wed a month. We have a great need for a few more volunteers. Would you have a couple of hours a month free to help? Please call me if you would like more information. Come be a blessing to the children and house parents at Children in Crisis!
Our mission is to build a community where people
can come as they are, meet Christ, grow in their faith,
and find a place to serve.

It’s a hard topic, but it’s vital that we make plans. We hope you will join us for a 6 week class called “Get It Together File: My Final Act of Kindness”. Upon completion, you will have a file of valuable information for your loved ones to access upon your death. You will save them much stress and anxiety and re-lieve them of most of the nearly 200 deci-sions needed at that time. Yes, it truly is the best gift you can give your family! Join us on Monday’s at 10:00 am beginning on January 27, in Room 700. Please register for this class.

This month I will share 2 quotes with you from my recent reading. Read on Facebook: I don't want to experience the alternative to celebrating aging...(resistance, fear, anger, sadness, giving in to the media or society's views on aging). God's views on aging tells us we all should be celebrating growing older. God gives us gifts to celebrate such as continued spiritual growth, purpose, wisdom, time, second chances, new beginnings, to share our stories, to create our legacy, to complete our journey...there is so much to celebrate. And, from Bob Goff’s twitter feed: Everybody wants to make a difference in the world; only a few people want to be different than the world. As I thought about these two quotes, I realized it’s a waste of energy to fret over the world’s view of aging. We are not of this world! We need to look to our loving heavenly Father for our worth, our value, and our purpose, as well as the strength and wisdom to continue serving him and loving others as he has commanded we do. If you find yourself tempted to feel overlooked or unappreciated, invite a friend to meet with you to pray about that and to remind each other that God loves you and is still working in and through you. Isaiah 46:4 I will be your God throughout your lifetime—until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you.
