The loose coins this month are going
to the Hunger in the North project
through the Missions and Service
Fund. Feb. 12 is "Bring your
sweetheart to church and stay for
lunch". The first hymn was sung.
The children went downstairs with
Mary Ross and the Sunday Fun team
teachers for their time of fellowship.
Rev. Gary Clark led the prayer of
approach with sign language in the
response. Rev. Clark invited
everyone to greet one another. The
scripture reading was from John 2:
1-12, the story of the miracle of
Jesus turning the water into wine at a
wedding. The second hymn was
sung. The choir sang the anthem,
"Lord Be With Us On This Day".

Rev. Clark's message to the
congregation was the stories of
miracles.
The miracle of Jesus turning the
water into wine is the first miracle
that we hear about in the Gospel of
John. When Jesus is presented with
the problem that the wine has run
out at the wedding, Jesus says it is
not His time but Mary, Jesus' mother
know it is His time. From here on,
Jesus' life changes. Jesus tells the
stewards to fill the water jugs with
water and by the time it gets to the
head steward the miracle has
happened and the water has changed
to wine.
John tells us that Jesus is the
bridegroom and we, the church are
the bride. A miracle is proof that
God loves us and loves to see us
happy.
The refugees from south Sudan
know that a table full of food is a
miracle. Another miracle for them is
that the girls can go out on their own
and not be afraid of being attacked.
Someone is waiting for us to impact
their lives and this is a miracle. We
cannot have a miracle without a
need.
Gary leaving us has created a need
for a new minister who needs a
place, so we are the miracle.
The next hymn was sung. The
Offering was received followed by
the singing of the response, "In
Gratitude and Humble Trust," the
offertory prayer, the prayers for the
people and the singing of the Lord's
Prayer. The last hymn was followed
by the benediction and the singing of
the response.
Rev. Clark said grace and
invited everyone to go downstairs
for lunch and the annual meeting.
The children had written
messages of "Love" on the
placemats during their time of
fellowship.

He loves us too well to promise that!
(J.C. Ryle)
"Man is born to trouble as surely as sparks fly upward" Job 5:7
"Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows" John 16:33
If we are true Christians, we must not expect everything smooth in our
journey to Heaven. We must count it no strange thing, if we have to endure
sicknesses, losses, bereavements, and disappointments, just like other
men. Free pardon and full forgiveness, grace along the way, and glory at
the end --all this our Saviour has promised to give. But He has never
promised that we shall have no affliction. He loves us too well to promise
that!
By affliction He teaches us many precious lessons which without it we
would never learn.
By affliction He...
shows us our emptiness and weakness,
draws us to the throne of grace,
purifies our affections,
weans us from the world,
and makes us long for Heaven.
In the resurrection morning, we shall all say, "It is good for me that I was
afflicted." We shall thank God for every storm.
"You do not understand now what I am doing --but you will understand
later on!" John 13:7
