February 2014 Edition
JANUARY HIGHLIGHTS
What a great crew for our 5th & 6th grade movie afternoon!
We made sharpie stained glass with a cross that says "You are loved"! We shared those with Zion shut-ins as a Valentine's gift.
What a fun and silly crew hanging out in the youth office!
Big smiles!
Our skit crew shared the gospel story during worship!
Jesus, John the Baptist & Andrew in skit form. The look pretty biblical, don't they?!
LOVE IS IN THE AIR
As we give thanks for all things LOVE this month, this psalm reminds us to give thanks for God's love that will never cease.
Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.
-Psalm 100: 1-5
Family Dare: I dare you to read this psalm at home and share with each other where you saw God's love at work this week!
