On February 26-27, we’ll be providing a marriage conference in the church: A Mess Worth Making. We don’t do enough of this kind of thing. So here’s an opportunity for the married folks among us to strengthen their marriage. Lee and Elizabeth Barnett will be leading the conference. There will be great ac-

tivities for your kids. Give it a look and get signed up. This Sunday we will be coming to the Lord’s Table in our morning services. In our More Than a Face initiative we’re praying and working to get people to Jesus. When we try to get people to Jesus, sooner or later we point them to the cross. Nothing points to the cross more dramatically than the Lord’s Supper. At the table we handle bread and cup, signs of Christ’s body broken and blood shed for our sins. Come prepared to worship the Lord in music, in prayer, in word, and in ordinance. See you Sunday. Your Pastor, John
