Our first big musical event is Rock-n-ROL Wednesday, January 31, during Family Night Supper. The music ministry and The River of Life are combining to bring you a fun night of music and fundraising. The music isn’t really Rock and Roll but it isn’t music you would hear in a Sunday morning service. Fun renditions of “At Last “or a Hawaiian setting of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” are great, but don’t have a place in the traditional service. Soloists and groups will bring some of the favorite not-so-traditional songs to life. The River ladies will provide a supper of their famous taco salad, tacos, and Texas sheet cake. They will also provide you with an opportunity to give generously to one of the great ministries of our church. River of Life is an opportunity to put mission into action as we build ramps for people in our community, combined with spiritual growth through worship services in the evenings. Come and enjoy fun, food, fellowship, and music. Make your reservations so they will know how much taco salad to prepare! Folks will be talking about this program by the water cooler Thursday morning. Don’t be the one that has to say, “Oh man I hate I missed that.” Blessings, Steve Church Council Meeting this Sunday after the 11:00 Service. Please plan to meet in the Adult Gathering area by 12:15 pm.

Children's Corner
Growing in faith is not something that happens by simply cramming information about the Bible into a child’s brain. The knowledge in their head means nothing if we don’t help kids experience what that knowledge can do in their heart. To experience faith, we want kids to practice their faith and that takes commitment. God keeps all His promises and puts His plans into action. Because God has kept His promises to us, we can make a plan and stick to it. One of the best plans you can make is to commit to an ongoing relationship with Jesus. Commit to practicing faith by reading God’s word, praying to Him consistently, talking about Him with friends, and living out your faith every day. WEEK 4 Key Question: How can you live for God? Kids might think that they only practice their faith when they are at church. But when you practice living for God, you discover that whatever you do—work, play, read, sing, listen, whatever—can be a way you worship God with your life. We finish out our month in Mark 12:41-44. Jesus is with His disciples and notices how wealthy people are giving lots of money, but then came a poor widow. She gave just two small coins. While this seemed like such a small gift, Jesus says this woman actually gave more than the rich people because she gave everything she had. Bottom Line: Practice living for God. We know that most kids love to sing and worship God. But worship isn’t just something we do when we sing at church; worship is really how we honor God with our whole lives—through how we love others and serve them, how we give of our time and talents, how we obey and praise God, even how we rest. We want kids to practice the faith skill, LIVE, and discover that worship isn’t just singing loud, it’s living loud.
Serving Him together,
Ms. Shannon Bentley

Getting back into the groove this past week at Harbor Youth was a much needed breath of fresh air. We started our series, "Talk the Talk", and had a great discussion about the words we use and how they affect others. We defined gossip for ourselves and took the challenge of influencing our language with a more Godly slant. Next week, we will meet at our regular time (4-6PM) at the church and we will continue our study, "Talk the Talk," by examining the words we use about our faith. Those interested are welcome to attend the Covenant Renewal Service at 6 PM immediately following in the Sanctuary. We are looking forward to our Super Bowl Party held at Local Yolkal on February 4th! Look out for more details soon on that event. In Peace, Audrey
