New Sunday Morning Prayer Format For the last cou-

Room at 9:00 a.m. for prayer before worship. Beginning in the

new year, we are going to join in prayer with the praise team

each Sunday at 9:10 instead. Anyone who would like to pray

with us for the worship service that morning is invited.

House.

Today our offering is for the Movin’ On Ministry.

Upcoming Opportunities The new year begins with new

opportunities at Park Church. Two of those opportunities will hap-

pen on Wednesday nights, beginning January 8.

“Experiencing God” is a 13 week study on knowing and doing the

will of God. With readings and questions for each day, this study

will help to focus your devotional life and also help define God’s call

on your life. If you would like a book ordered, please sign up at the

Welcome Center by January 5. This group will meet from 6:30-

7:30 p.m. each Wednesday.

Financial Peace University is for families, couples, and individuals

who are ready to live purposefully in their financial doings. This 9

week course will be offered during W@P in January, February and

March, meeting from 6:30 -8:00. The cost is approximately $100,

which will pay lifetime dividends. You can sign up at the Welcome

Center, and will be given information to register online.

Congratulations to Mary Kalkman who will celebrate her 79th

birthday on January 5.

Harrington's Hope Care Closet Requested items for January

are laundry detergent and bleach. Items may be placed in or by
