of our congregation, please contact Pastor (pastorwhitmore@whitecreek.org or 812-799-6579) or call the church

THE ANNUAL VOTERS’ MEETING will be held this afternoon at 1:00 p.m.
The election of 2018 officers will be among the business at hand. All confirmed members of our congregation, 18
years and older, are encouraged to attend.
THOSE OFFICERS ELECTED at today’s meeting will have
an orientation meeting this Thursday, January 18, at 7:00 p.m. All officers are urged to attend.
Also, all new officers will be installed during the worship service next
Sunday.
NEXT SUNDAY, JANUARY 21, our congregation will join
others across the country to commemorate Sanctity of Human Life Sunday
(SOHLS)-an annual day to celebrate the immeasurable value of all human life and
help to defend the sanctity of human life.
We will have a coin collection that day - please give one coin, any
amount, for each year of your life, in thanksgiving to God for His many
blessings. A basket will be in the
narthex for your donation. This collection will be forwarded to Clarity
(formerly the Pregnancy Care Center) to help support their ministry of sharing
the truth of life with women and men in our community who are facing unplanned
pregnancies and to offer compassion and grace to those in need.
YOUTH will
meet next Sunday at 7:00 p.m.

STEWARDSHIP
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: 1 Cor. 6:19-20
“You are not your
own, for you were bought with a price.
So glorify God in your body.” God
owns everything, including our very selves.
We were made to serve Him and glorify Him and will never truly be happy
or find our fulfillment until we learn that lesson. Jesus has redeemed us and brought us back
into the Kingdom of the Father – and that has set us free to serve Him in joy,
generosity, liberty, and faith.
T BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
