100th Year Kickoff!
February 9 is the Sunday we will begin our celebration of our
100th year. We will have an open house from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
There will be displays of past and present works to share a
little of the history of the church. This is a come and go event.
Of course, you can stay and fellowship the whole time.
Heritage Christian University Dinner
February 25 is the date for the annual Heritage Christian
University Dinner. This year, it will be at Beltline. Let Tim
Tanksley know if you are planning to go. This is always a fun
night of fellowship with other congregations and entertain-
ment. Hartselle usually has the largest group present. This
school is doing a great job of training young preachers.
Andrew Gourley is now a student at Heritage! We are certainly
proud of this fine young man. Thanks to everyone of you who
gave to make this possible for Andrew. He has the potential
to be a great servant of the Lord. Andrew is preaching at
Hanceville at the present. We will be blessed to have him
speak for us on Easter Sunday, April 12.
January Birthday Celebration
This year, we are beginning a monthly birthday celebration
for birthdays during each month. We will celebrate the January
birthdays next Wednesday, January 22. The celebration will
start at 6 p.m. with cake and ice cream! Come out and con-
gratulate all those having birthdays in January. Remember,
you will have one coming up in the coming months, and you
will want someone to show up for you! Phillip

OUR SYMPATHY Betty Lott’s son and David Lott’s older brother, Randy Lott (35-years-old), died of a heart attack Monday. The memorial service is expected to be next week.
Sunday I was watching the AFC Divisional round of the playoffs.
There was about 10 minutes left in the first half and Houston was
leading Kansas City 24-0. It was a great quarter and a half if you
were a Texans fan, but not for long. The Chiefs stormed back to
take a 28-24 halftime lead and went on to win 51-31! Not a game
you’d like to re-watch if you’re a Texans fan, but maybe so if you’re
a Chiefs fan. A Chief’s fan can watch the first quarter and a half
when things are going bad and just say, it’s okay I can keep watch-
ing, because we win. Knowing the outcome makes life easier. It’s
the same with our spiritual life. In John 16:33 Jesus tells us there
will be bad things to happen to us, but to be of good cheer because
He has overcome the world. As Christians, we can go through
tough times and say, that’s okay I can keep going, because we
know the outcome. Jesus has provided the way and prepared a
house for us if we follow Him. How confident are you in life? If you
know the outcome it just makes life easier!
Orlando Mission Trip: We thank you so much for all of the ways
you supported our fundraising this year! We only have about S500
left to reach our goal. If anyone would like to donate monetarily to
help us reach the goal, please let me know. If you ordered one of
the church shirts from our last fundraiser, I will have them sorted
and ready to pick up Sunday evening at church. Thank you!!
We look forward to seeing you Sunday!
In Him, Todd

NOTES OF APPRECIATION To my loving family in Christ, I want to offer my sincerest gratitude to everyone at Hartselle for their encouragement, aid and love. This church has had such a profound effect on my
life and words cannot express that properly. As I continue my journey into ministry I will always remember where it began: with my wonder-ful family here. Thank you. Christianly love, Andrew Gourley “There is a destiny that makes us brothers, no one goes his way alone; All that we send into the lives of others, Comes back into our own.”—Edwin Markham
Just a simple note of “Thank You” for the kindness you have always shown me, particularly the fruit basket and meal during the holiday season...also meals through the years. It is deeply appreciated. Special thank you to John & Shelia Kyle. Sincerely, Bonnie Allen
