SCHEDULE:
A Great Opportunity To Bless Haiti
Special thanks to everyone who has contributed supplies for the truck going to Haiti. Unfortunately, there has been a delay in the processing of paperwork to get the truck on its way. However, it does give us a great opportunity to continue blessing Haiti! There is lots of room left in the truck, so we are putting out another plea for additional supplies.
Although all non-perishable food items are appreciated, the greatest need is for rice, dry beans and cooking oil, especially the rice and beans. There are also non-prescription and/or over-the-counter medical supplies that would be greatly appreciated as well, including antibiotic ointments, ibuprofen, aspirin 325 mg, antacids, antiseptic soaps, regular soap, cream lotion, shampoo, elastic tubular bandages, cough suppressant (Vicks), sterile water, hydrogen peroxide 3%, similac, gauze pads, bandage tape, diaper rash ointment, vitamins, and more. Vince Wozniak (727-638-8345) and Dr. Ted (727-804-8893) have a more complete listing of additional medical supply needs if you know of a medical professional who would like to contribute supplies to Haiti. For anyone who would prefer to contribute financially rather than with supplies, Dr. Ted will use whatever funds are collected to buy rice from Sam’s Club just before he leaves ($16 for a 50 pound bag of rice).
If the Lord puts it on your heart to raid your pantry for Haiti or to purchase food and/or medical items, you can drop them off at church through the day Monday through Friday (up to 4:30 pm), Wednesday night before the prayer meeting, or on Sunday when you come to church. The supplies will be stored at the back of the church behind the sound system. The deadline for contributions/supplies will be Sunday, February 28th. The truck should be leaving mid week the following week.
40 Days of Love – Join Us Wednesday Night!
We’ve started our 40 Days of Love curriculum. This study of what the Bible says about love will bring a revival of love to all of our relationships! We meet at 6:30 pm to eat/fellowship, the same as we did at the regular small groups. Everyone attending this portion of the evening can bring something to share with the rest of the group. Then we will have the session which is DVD based and also includes a work book, starting at 7:00 pm.. The session should last one hour so we should be finished at 8:00 pm. Mark your calendars! Even if you did not attend the first session, feel free to join us this Wednesday! Childcare is provided
Band of Brothers – Tuesday @ 7:00 pm
Men’s Ministry - Band of Brothers talking about the issues of the lost and saved. Come and be discipled in the Word to share your faith with others and actually do Matthew 28:18-20 as commanded by Jesus, “…Go out unto all nations… Teach what I commanded you.” Are you battle ready to speak to someone about your faith? If your house was on fire and your family was in it, what kind of values or resources would you want the Firemen to have prior to coming to your home to save your families life? Does “Be Prepared” hit home in this scenario? Those same values are required of us as Christians. If your a Christian, you love. You love others and are concerned where they are going to spend eternity. If you are tired of not being able to share the good news to the people you love in a effective manner, come out on Tuesdays and learn the “Way of the Master” techniques (www.thegoodtest.net). See live video of normal people on the streets of New York, San Francisco, and others taking the GOOD PERSON test. Praise and worship starts at 7pm. Munchies will be served at 6:45pm Call Mark Webb at 727-639-4202 for more info; or go to http://bandofbrotherslifepath.blogspot.com/
Heart to Heart – Tuesday – March 9th @ 7:00 pm
Ladies, if you have not been to a Heart to Heart meeting, you are truly missing a blessing! Life is full of burdens, pains, challenges and stresses of life, so why not experience an environment of understanding, encouragement, joy and laughter while making wonderful friends long the way.
The meetings are energetic and purposely arranged to make each woman feel comfortable and special as we focus on our originality, uniqueness and completeness in Christ Jesus. Come join us for “Embracing Simplicity”. Bring a friend with you! Refreshments and childcare provided.
Garage Sale/Bake Sale/Car Wash – Youth Fundraiser – March 13th
We will be holding our annual car wash, bake sale & garage sale on Saturday March 13th starting at 8:00 am. We need volunteers to help and we need garage sale donations to sell.
You can bring your items to the youth center every Wednesday between now & March 13th from 6:30-8pm. If you need to meet at another time, please call Steve at 727-460-0192. Drop offs are preferred but we will pick up larger items also. This fundraiser will help pay for a huge Christian youth event for the teens in September & every dollar collected beyond what we will need for that event, will be donated to help Haiti. This could means hundreds of dollars to help Haiti. Let’s all get behind this proven fundraiser.
