Ronald McDonald House. Abiding Grace will again be providing dinner to families staying at the Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth this Sunday, January 12, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. A few more volunteers are needed for the team—volunteers must be 14 years or older. To volunteer, please contact Lori Anderson. More information is available online.
Mr. Rogers Adult Sunday School. Pastor Nick will be leading an adult Sunday School class on the theology of Mr. Rogers beginning this Sunday, January 12. The class is at 10:00 a.m. and held in the south side of the sanctuary. Anyone interested in attending is encouraged to see the film A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
Youth news. Youth ministries resume this week:
  • The high school group meets Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m. and resumes on January 7
  • Confirmation for grades 7-8 resumes on Wednesday, January 8, at 6:30 p.m. Please email Gary to join in.
  • Sunday School for all ages resumes on January 12 at 10:00 a.m.
  • The high school group mission trip is June 20-28. The group will travel to Panama City, Florida, to help the community rebuild from Hurricane Michael.
Music ministries. Is music a passion of yours? Would you like to learn to sing or play hand bells? Do you play an instrument? We have four music ensembles: the Lift Every Voice Choir, Abiding Grace Orchestra, Grace Notes Bell Choir, and AGLC Praise Ensemble. All are welcome regardless of skill. Choir rehearsal resumes this Wednesday, January 8, with orchestra and hand bell rehearsals starting next week. Come and take part in the fellowship, and experience worship in a whole new way.
A semi-annual Congregational Meeting will be held on Sunday, January 26, after the second service (noon). Please plan to attend this important meeting.
Secret Sisters. It is time to draw for Secret Sisters for 2020. A Secret Sister is someone to pray for daily for one year; celebrate her special occasions with a small gift or card; secretly let her know she is loved and prayed for. You will reveal your identity at the end of the year. Sign-up forms are available at the Fellowship kiosk. Please return your completed form by this Sunday, January 12. See Dee Rose or Carol Court for more information.
Supper 4:6 is our dinner groups for six, seven, or eight people. Couples or singles can sign up. Groups of 6-8 members will be formed that meet several times in homes to share dinner (you can join in whether or not you wish to host a dinner). It's a great way to get to know more people in the congregation. Please sign up at the Fellowship kiosk. If you have any questions, please contact Dee Rose or Carol Court.
The Fellowship Committee is in need of a free-standing clothes rack to hang tablecloths. If you have one to donate, please contact Dee Rose or Carol Court.
Keep in prayer. Please keep the following people in your prayers: Sandy, Jeff, Arty, Dawn, Sarah, Tracy, Mona, Mimi, Shirley, Kaye, Davey, Mike, Arthur, Elenor, Charles, Jim, Elaine, David, Susan, Ron, Roger, Linda, Rich, Corbin, Chris, Tommy, Zach, Betty, Chris and Kim, Ken, LaRue, Dusty, Debbie, Charles, Blake family, Jenni, Nolan, Roger, Micah, Christensen family, Nora, Michelle, Jeanne, Shirley, Alissa, Tomlinson family, Ali, Ben, Lorraine, and Joan.
