Prayer for the Day is a daily devotional ministry. To hear a devotion recorded by Pastor Thies, please call the special Prayer for the Day phone number (963-7641) and then dial 3 when the call is answered.
Generosity Moment - John 2:3 “When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”” Behold the faith of Mary: she sees a problem and simply lays it before her Son and Lord. She does not offer a proposed solution, she does not demand, she simply states the situation and waits for the Lord's response. She trusts that the Lord is a giver and she knows that He always provides. May such a faith be ours that we might give generously in our weekly church financial offering.
Pastor Thies is away today for a personal trip, will return home this evening and will be in the office as normal tomorrow.
SPYS (youth) WINTER RETREAT at Northwest – We hope all of our young people ages 6th grade and up can make it to our Winter Retreat planned for Friday evening, January 29th through Saturday, the 30th at Northwest site. We will have games, food, fun, movies, adventures, devotions and Pastor Thies will lead us in some video material from Answers in Genesis as to how we can respond to the issues of Evolution Theories. This retreat will serve also as our Confirmation Retreat for this year. Please let Pastor Thies know if you are planning to attend.
