Announcements
1) If anyone has any baby bottles from our last baby bottle
campaign, please leave them in the front foyer.
2) The Pregnancy Center has a critical need for a volunteer on
Thursdays from 1 to 5 pm. Duties would be to answer the
phone and do minor administration, like making copies, etc.
The PfPRC could use at least 5 new volunteers, but
Thursday is the critical need right now.
High Pointe Family
Schedule a Membership Interview
After you have attended the Meaningful Membership classes, a
meeting with the elders will be scheduled. This meeting allows
the elders to get to know you and gives you the opportunity to
ask further questions about High Pointe in an informal setting.

with Your Children

also in the Nursing Room (access through the ladies’ restroom

Life Institute in Spanish, February 1
Remember to pick up your Christmas cards at the Resource
Center in the front foyer. This is the last day to pick up your
cards.
Sally Michael, with Children Desiring God, has written four
new devotional books to read with your children at home. God’s
Names, God’s Providence, God’s Promises and God’s Wisdom
were written to give parents an opportunity to present solid
biblical truth to their children and to encourage real-life
application of the truth. Ask for one of them in the Church
Library today!
The family of Oneta Colleen Webb acknowledges with deep
appreciation your kind expression of sympathy.

Morning Service Scripture Text
2 Peter 1:12-15
12 Therefore I intend always to remind you of these qualities,
though you know them and are established in the truth that
you have. 13 I think it right, as long as I am in this body, to stir
you up by way of reminder,14 since I know that the putting off
of my body will be soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to
me.15 And I will make every effort so that after my departure
you may be able at any time to recall these things.
