Serving on Date Night
Please read and respond to this with a servants heart.... Our lifeGroup DID agree to host the Date Night Challenge and hosting means that we WILL provide and cover the child care, up to and including 5th grade. This means nursery 0-4, and probably two groups for the older kids; so we obviously need all of us (that have had background checks done) to serve. On a positive note, the program will be burned to DVD and will be shown at another time for those of us covering child care. So, we need everyone to respond to this blog or phone Newt and Carol ASAP and tell us where you can serve; we need the men to serve as ushers and greeters. Carol will be in the nursery and Newt will be greeting/usher. Thanks guys.

SUPER lifeGroup!
Wow! What a great time with a great group of people! We missed some of our regulars, but enjoyed visitors and new attenders. Welcome to Duane and Carla who want to be part of our group! We had 15 adults and 9 kids! Thank God for beautiful weather and great fellowship!
This is our week to serve, so here's a reminder:
Thursday nursery: Leann and Janae; remember to be there by 6pm.
Thursday coffee: Michelle
Sunday nursery: Carla and Randi; be ready for the kids by 10.
Sunday coffee: Johna and Karin (hope I spelled your name right!)
We went over rules for the nursery; they will be posted in the nursery, but here's a rundown:
Nursery ages: Sunday 0-3 Thursday 0-4
Make sure everyone signs their kids in and out. Make sure cards are given out and returned.
Suzy's number for the monitor is 00 if needed. Make sure you know how to use the monitor.
Paper work: completely filled out with first/last names of servers/visitors. Report any
incident, no mater how minor it may seem. Report any parent complaints.
Turn completed forms in to Kathy B box downstairs.
Children are to be picked up only by those listed on information sheets.
All infants under a year old must be with at least one adult on the infant side. So we may need
3 servers if this situation arises; let your group leader know.
Per newLife policies: no food allowed in nursery except bottles or sippy cups with milk/juice.
Only the women serving that day are to be in the nursery
Pick up garbage/tidy up before leave; garbage goes in big can by the upstairs back door.
Tell Suzy or Teresa of any needed supplies.
Any questions/concerns contact Nursery/Sunday school coordinator, Miss Suzy J!
Remember this Sunday night at 6pm at the church is the Date Night Special! You won't want to miss this!
Prayer requests: Please pray for our grandson JR who will be having some neurological surgery on Wed morning. Pray for an easy procedure, quick healing and no infection. Pray for peace for JR and Cassie, Jena and Kenny. Khayla also asks for prayer concerning a family meeting on Tuesday. How can be pray for you? Please post requests.
Our next meeting will be March 4, again at our home in Big Creek (Newton has standby and can't leave) at 4:00. More to follow!

Just a reminder that tomorrow night is the combined Knappa/Astoria midweek service in Knappa!

Sounds like I missed an awesome service last Sunday! Can't wait to listen to Pastors marriage message on-line, amazing people joined our church, and the sanctuary was filled with worship!
Our next lifeGroup will be at Langston's home in Knappa on Sunday Feb 5 at 4pm. We will be BBQing salmon, so bring things to go with that. Will need salads, garlic bread, deserts, drinks. Please respond with what you would like to bring and we will firm this up as we get closer to the date! Will have some new people join us, can't wait!
Any prayer requests out there? Please continue to pray for Johna as she continues to be with family in California. She should be coming home soon, pray for her safe return.
As we praise God for the growth He is providing in His church, pray for Him to provide resources to go with this growth; financial as well as faithful workers! And ask Him to continue to encourage, strengthen and keep rested our Pastor, leaders and servers.
Hope to see you all tomorrow! Carol

January lifeGroup
Had a great get together at the Rasmussen home! Thanks so much to Ralph and Randi for their hospitality and to-die-for lasagna!
This up coming week is our service week, but since so many of our members are greeters, we will need help from other lifeGroups!
Thursday coffee: Ralph (yep, that right guys we have the 1st male barrista!) and Lena
Nursery: Randi and Janae
Sunday coffee: HELP! Carol will be contacting other leaders for someone to fill in
Nursery: Randi and Janae (after she finishes greeting)
Please check out previous blog for review of the coffee rules!
On Thursday of our service week, Rick and Johna will be the "leaders" as Newt and Carol will be attending evening service in Knappa on Wed.
Reminder: nursery workers... be sure to get a background check done, forms at church from
Kathy B
Really important to periodically check the blog! This is how we communicate what's happening in the church and in our group. Also easy to check other group blogs and Pastors blog from our page.
Rick and Johna are responsible for filling the serving positions. If you can't fill your spot in the nursery or coffee, contact them immediately so they can find someone else. All other communication for our group needs to go to Newton and Carol.
We discussed changing the Sunday we meet. Our lifeGroup will meet on the Sunday before our week to serve. This way everyone knows their schedule for the upcoming week and it will be easier to remember signing up for serving! Also, we are then free to help other lifeGroups that may need help (babysitting for example) It just so happens that for us, this will remain the first Sunday of the month for the next few months. Upcoming dates:
Feb 5 Newton and Carols home - time and details to follow
March 4
April 1
We will be meeting in different homes; remember to invite friends, neighbors to join us!
Upcoming events:
Jan 21 Ownership class
Jan 22 Marriage Series begins
Feb 12 Date Night Challenge
Jan 25 Mid week service in Knappa
Prayer requests:
Ralph's mom and divorce situation so she can move on
James work to pick up and remain steady, home for him and Janae
Brad Mathews, Tim's co-worker to develop relationship with God
Adams log truck to hold together
Church finances, not just to maintain, but exceed needs
Johna, for safe travels and wisdom as she deals with a family issue
Tim and Teresa's house
Please remember to comment whenever you have a prayer request, or just want to share.
