My coins count offering totaled $1,167.06! Thank you for your contributions and to
the generous matching donors! You are invited to join our live video chat over Zoom each Sunday after worship. This
is a time to check in, discuss the sermon or themes, and to pray with each other. Look for the link in Friday’s email. This week’s discussion question:
When have you given a blessing or when have you received a blessing? Three ways to worship! Beginning this Sunday, January 24, worshipping in-person is added to the ways to worship at Whitestone! But, we want to remind you that there are some other ways that you can join in worship as well: 1) Worship in-person at 10:15! 2) Worship over our live-stream from home! 3) Use our live-stream and worship in smaller groups of family or friends who are in your “bubble”!
