With the new year comes a new opportunity. On Sunday, January 26, the first gathering of the Working Women’s Fellowship (to be called WWW – Wine, Women, and the Word) was held. During this meeting, it was decided that we will study Max Lucado’s book, “Ten Women of the Bible: One by One They Changed the World.”

MEN'S RETREAT AT MT. MORRIS

In the presence of God, nothing stands between Him and us – we are forgiven. But we cannot feel His presence if anything is allowed to stand between ourselves and others.
-Dag Hammarskjold
Thank you to all who gave cards or gifts to me and my family for Christmas. It is always humbling to be appreciated this way. We are grateful for your thoughts and prayers and feel very blessed to be a part of this wonderful church family!
-Pastor Beth
Thank you to our church family for keeping Garret Eggebrecht and the troops (and our family) in prayer while he was deployed to Afghanistan. He and the troops are home safe. It is such a blessing to know so many cared and prayed during that time.
–Jeff & Jeanne Eggebrecht

PASTOR BETH OUT OF OFFICE - UPDATESo, for many reasons my tonsillectomy was postponed. I will now be having surgery on January 30. The procedure will be taking place here in Wisconsin Rapids and will require a two-week recovery time. So, I will be out of the office January 30 – February 14 recovering. I will make sure to have someone on call for me during this time and if you are in need of pastoral care just contact the church office or our vice-chair of Elders, Trudy Knipple. Prayer is welcomed for both the procedure and the recovery and for my family as they deal with me through it all 😉.

Moravian Ministries Foundation in America and Ramsey Solutions offer Financial Peace University (FPU) for Moravians.
We want to lead a virtual “flex” class in 2020. The group sessions for this class will only take 45 minutes of your time via a web call (using Zoom), so the class accommodates busy schedules. Participants will watch the class videos on their own time. It's a schedule that works for anyone with a high-speed internet connection and a computer. Class size is limited so we need to gauge interest and preferences so additional classes can be planned as needed. Please take a minute to go through the following short survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/7QSRRS2
Please share this with friends, relatives, or anyone who may need this class.
Do not hesitate to call or email if you have any questions (cspaugh@mmfa.info or 336- 725-2589).

BOARD OF TRUSTEES - UPDATE
With one month into 2020, the Trustees have been hard at work with the final details on the building project. We are hoping that by February 9th we will be able to use parts of the renovated areas, and the completion of project should be shortly after. With that said, both Karen and Beth will need help getting moved back into the church office. If you are willing and able, please contact a Trustee if you would like to help with this. When time gets closer to move Karen and Beth back to their offices, we will make sure you are included those arrangements. Please do not be afraid to come to me or any other Trustee member with questions or concerns that we handle. We will be happy to answer or help any way we can.
Let’s have a great year praising our wonderful Lord and Savior!
Blessings,
Eric Voight
Chair of Trustees
