TAKING DOWN CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS We will be taking down and putting away Christmas decorations after church on Sunday, January 8. There will be no 10:15 am Bible study.
SUNDAY SCHOOL NEWS The Baptism and temptation of Jesus serves as the lesson focus for Sunday School this week. Jesus is baptized into and takes on our sin, and faces our temptations so we, in baptism, would receive His goodness, His holiness, and His purity. Parents could ask, "Why is it important that Jesus was baptized? Why is it important that we are baptized?"
PRISCILLA GUILD will meet for their monthly business meeting on Thursday, January 12 at 7pm. All women of the congregation are invited to attend.

Please email secretary@splcmv.org or contact Jeff Adrian if you need help hearing the worship service. Contact Jeff Adrian for more information.

TERRI LYNN nuts and candy are for sale again this year. Prices range from $6 to $10 per bag. All proceeds go toward Priscilla Guild mission projects.
