ANNOUNCEMENTS Sunday Prayer Meeting On Sunday, January 29th, the Cedar elders would like to invite you to pray with them for a one hour prayer meeting from 4-5 PM. Sensing many spiritual, physical, relational and emotional needs within our congregation, the elders will each lead a small prayer circle in the Art Room. Please come ready to pray for one another, and prepare to share any needs you may have for yourself, your family or friends. Jesus said, Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven (Matt 18:19). OPC Missions Conference Help Needed - The OPC Missions Conference at Harvest OPC is coming---more quickly than usual on February 4! We are in need of pairs of helpers for each of the 3 sections of nursery time on Saturday morning. We also need classroom staffing as well. Classes are for children beginning at age 4 thru 6th grade: 4 and 5 years, 1st and 2nd grade, 3rd and 4th grade, 5th and 6th grade. All craft materials and other resources will be provided for staff early enough to work out the crafts themselves. It is best if classes can be small so many offers for help would be appreciated. ALSO - Dominoes is a national pass time in Haiti. So an additional need for this conference is for domino games for all the classrooms and "tutors" who could help with teaching the game during a short segment of time as part of the children's activity time. If you are able to help or if you have questions, please contact Marge Blair at 245-2315 or tonymblair@gmail.com. Zion Christian Open House - Zion would like to invite interested families to an open house on Thursday, March 8, from 6:30-8:00pm. Whether you are interested in Preschool, High School, or in between, please consider joining us at 6:30pm for a brief school overview after which you can tour the school and have questions answered. All prospective families will be given a coupon for a free pizza! Zion Christian School is looking for a Varsity Baseball coach for the upcoming spring season.
