A SINCERE THANKS TO A HUMBLE SERVANT OF GOD After 25 years of dedicated service, our Communion Stewardess/Coordinator, Takeko Koike, has decided to retire.

We are grateful to all of our Communion Stewardesses. THANK YOU, Takeko, for all your devotion.
ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL? On Superbowl Sunday, February 5th, after the 11:00AM service, we will have a “Tailgate” party!

If you would like to bring your own grill and cook the meat of your choice, that’s fine, too! Call Shirley (790-4431 or 879-2589) so she’ll know how much meat David and Delvin will have to cook. Church Family, this is NOT a covered dish meal. All you have to bring is one of these items (only suggestions): potato salad, potato chips, Fritos, veggies for munching, –basically, party food. Highlights of past Superbowls will be shown in the ABGym. Movies will be shown for kids in AB Room 403 A Tailgate meeting will be held on Sunday, January 22nd, at 4:00PM in AB Room 403 for persons interested in making this special luncheon a FUN TIME for all. -Shirley Hebert, Family Ministries
