Stewardship Thought:
1 Corinthians 9:16-27: St. Paul had the beautiful gift of showing such concern for others that he would refrain from doing what he was perfectly free to do so that the Gospel of Jesus would be better received by those to whom he was witnessing. One of the beautiful aspects of Christian stewardship is seeking and doing those things that are in the best interest and welfare of those around us!

Bethesda Workers will be at Wausau on Wednesday. If you can and are willing tohelp, please contact Toodie Bonk.

Pastor will be out of the office on Tuesday to attend the Circuit Pastors Meeting.

Senior Citizen and New Member Brunch
The Board of Christian Growth and Outreach will be coordinating a potluck brunch on February 12th for our senior citizens (those 65 and over) and the new members to the congregation from the past two years. The Senior Citizens and new members are NOT to bring a dish for the potluck. Hope to see you there! If you have any questions, call Marilyn Borgeson or Joan Mueller.

This year our congregation’s extra mission will have a local emphasis. One effort will be to assist the Hands Foundation in getting winter assistance to homeless veterans. We are asking that members of the congregation (as they are able and willing) to donate insulated boots, stockings hats, scarves, gloves, sleeping bags, warm socks or any other winter items. There will be a box at the church on February 5th and 12th to receive the items. We will also donate any monies that come in the “Missions” portion of the envelopes during January and February to this project.

Council Agenda Items are due in to the church office by noon Monday. Reminder to all council members – we’ll meet on Wednesday at 8:00pm.
