Friday, January 23, 6pm FAMILY GAME NIGHT IN WILSON HOUSE Stay warm. Have fun. Join us for pizza. Play one of your favorite games or learn a new one. Enjoy the company of our church family. We have a variety of entertaining games that cover all ages. Do you have pre-schoolers who are not yet into games? Bring along a DVD for them to watch downstairs on the large screen TV. One of our experienced nursery workers—Isabelle, Erika, or Brianna—will be there to supervise. RSVP to tell us how you like your pizza, and let us know if we should arrange to have a nursery worker available.
Sunday, January 25, 10:30am A NEW TEACHING—WITH AUTHORITY Authority is a word that is fraught with tension. In our world, true authority isn’t given by position, but earned in relationships that cultivate love, dignity and respect. Jesus had authority not because of his position as a prophet/teacher son of a carpenter, but because his words reflected his life. He treated all people with love and dignity despite the cultural norms to exclude others based on gender, disability, socio-economic standing and racial/ethnic background. Jesus has a new teaching—with authority—to share with us today! Fellowship hour follows worship. Free parking.
Sunday, February 1 SOUP-ER BOWL SUNDAY Everyone! Bring a can (or two!) of soup to church with you this morning. Donations will go to the Ecumenical Emergency Food Pantry in White Plains. The pantry serves hundreds of households in need.
