ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICE TONIGHT! 7 PM

Northside: The Middlebury church has a member of their congregation beginning a new job at Oaklawn as a counselor and she is in need of a place to rent in Elkhart fairly quickly (as her daughter whom she lives with is moving in the next couple of weeks). She is even open to renting a room and helping someone around the house or with an elderly person. If you know of something available could you let me know and I will connect you with the Middlebury church.

Ladies: Just a reminder that the Ladies Night Out that was postponed last week is scheduled for TONIGHT @ Perkins at 6:30 PM.

Tonight is April's last night teaching in her series... THANK YOU April for stepping out and trying something new! Have you ever wondered if you were really hearing from God or if you were operating in your own wisdom? Or maybe you haven't heard anything at all and you want to know why not. Next Wednesday we will begin a new study: Discerning the Voice of God, 7 PM in Room #118. Bring your Bible and be ready to dive into scripture!

The first Sunday of our Epic Sunday School Adventure was pretty epic! Come join us this Sunday at 9am for another adventure!

Deb Wallin let us know that due to more snow in the forecast, they are postponing the Ladies Night Out until next Monday evening at 6:30 @ Perkins in Elkhart. Please let your friends who don't do email or facebook know. Thanks!

A great day at church. The boiler broke right after the deep freeze so no harm done to the pipes. Moved church to a smaller venue and a totally different atmosphere and service style. Thank you to all who participated and attended, the Spirit of the Lord was definitely there.

Will be a fun time. Come ready to stand literally shoulder to shoulder with your fellow Christians.

Standing room only service tomorrow at Northside! You won’t want to miss this! Starts at 10:30am out in the Connexion.

**SPECIAL NOTICE** Our boiler is out until Monday in our main building. So, all Discipleship classes and coffee and donuts are canceled. We are still planning our special Garment of Praise worship service at 10:30am out in the Connexion building. PLEASE SHARE

**All Wednesday night activities are canceled **Thursday's Garment of Praise Service will now take place on Sunday morning @ 10:30. This is for the whole family so parents please pick your children up after Sunday School and have them sit with you. **This Sunday begins the month-long special Sunday School class for all children, taught by Ken Wolf & class--the animals are here, ready to give lots of ride, you won't want to miss this!

Books! Books! Books! Carla Baker is reconstructing the church library so that it will be fresh and up-to-date when it re-opens this coming spring. First we need to clear out the many, many out-dated books. Sunday, stop by the library (across from the women's restroom) to look through the two tables and several boxes we have to see if there are any classics you'd like to have before we donate them to Goodwill next week. There will be signs indicating which books are free for the taking. Thanks, Trina

Don’t forget the baby shower for Vanessa Beers at 4 pm today! She has a registry at Walmart in case you need to know sizes.

Yes we are ready to gather this morning! Coffee and donuts at 8:30am, Bible classes and discipleship classes meet at 9:00am, worship gathering at 10:30. Drive safe and give yourself plenty of time.

Northside: Due to the cycle of rain and freezing temps that will once again make things dangerous around dinner time, we are cancelling all Wednesday night activities, including CARE. Also, the NMI has made the call to cancel the Winter Funderland on Friday night as the temps continue to drop. We will let you know when it has been rescheduled. Please stay in as much as possible tonight and be safe!

The first Sunday of our Epic Sunday School Adventure was pretty epic! Come join us this Sunday at 9am for another adventure!

Standing room only service tomorrow at Northside! You won’t want to miss this! Starts at 10:30am out in the Connexion.

With the possible threat of a snowy week ahead, we wanted to take a minute to remind you of our cancellation policy: We will determine by Wednesday afternoon if the road conditions warrant a closure for the evening activities. Northside will not cancel Sunday morning services unless there is a do not drive order by the local authorities. With that being said, though, if you do not feel comfortable getting out and driving in the weather, please feel free to remain safely indoors. We will send an email and post any cancellations on our Facebook page as well.

Come join us for Ash Wednesday! #ashwednesday #lent

Sunday worship. Thank you Robin Marshall for filling in for Pastor Dan Peterson while he's on vacation.

Puppets are back!!!!!! Thank you to Becky and Roger Zehr for your leadership. This ministry has been dormant for several years but was once a very vibrant and active program. We are praying that some young energetic person or family will feel God's call to pick this up and bring it back to life. There are many more puppets and props already and are available for those that are involved. Please talk with Pastor Tim or Becky and Roger for more information regarding this fun and rewarding ministry.

30+ ladies of the church gathered yesterday to create 71 blankets to be donated to foster children. Thank you to all the ladies for your work on this project. Thank you to Vicky Carter for your leadership in this ministry.

One of the projects we are hoping our Renew capital campaign can help us with is a new roof over the FLC/Offices. Here's a little of what we have been constantly dealing with during rains.
