2009 CHRISTMAS OUTREACH - COLLECTING THROUGH CHRISTMAS EVE!
This Christmas Season we are providing a number of opportunities to help
families in our own backyard!
Continuing through the Advent Season we are collecting non-perishable foods
and other necessities here at the church to be distributed to West End
Ministries and the Asian refugees here in our congregation.
Here are some ideas to bring for the West End Ministry collection: Canned
Meats, Canned veggies and fruits, Cereal & Oatmeal, Peanut Butter and Jelly,
Rice and Beans, Dry Milk, Soup and Spaghetti Sauce & Noodles. These are a
jumping off point! Any non-perishable food items are welcome!
We are collecting the folloing for our Asian Congregation: Toiletries
(including toothpaste & toothbrushes and shampoo & soap), Rice!, Blankets
and Children's Socks & Shoes (*Any and all sizes! The kids can grown into
them!)
You can also check the insert in this week's bulletin for items that are
needed or visit the church website, http://www.firstwesleyan.org.

NEW SERMON SERIES BEGINS DECEMBER 27
Join us, beginning on Sunday, December 27, as Pastor Rick begins his new
sermon series, 'His Story Can Change Yours.'
The first message on December 27th will be 'Don't Settle - Be Exceptional,'
and our services will continue in our pursuit of the Narrative Worship
format. It continues to be Pastor Rick's desire to pursue worship that is
meaningful and pleasing to God while helping our congregation connect with
God.
Future messages include:
- The Adventure of a Lifetime
- The Power of Declaration
- Let's Party!
- The Authentic Authority
And more as we continue through February!
-------------------------------------
REVELATION SERIES CONTINUES
The Unveiling, Pastor Rick's intensive, verse-by-verse examination of the
book of Revelation will continue in a study on the last Sunday of each
month, beginning January 31st, from 4-5:30pm.
This will be an interactive study with the opportunity to ask questions,
explore areas of interest and learn what God is doing in our world today and
how it relates to the great prophetic passages of the Bible.
We hope you will join us as we continue to study Revelation 6, which
chronicles the beginning days of the Tribulation.
