EACH JANUARY our church starts the new year with a focus on missions and evangelism. This morning our guest speaker is a missionary named Jansen Lorch. He and his family are commissioned by their local church (Fellowship Bible Church in Ann Arbor) to serve with an organization called Gospel Mission of South America. Their calling is to plant new, Biblical churches in the country of Chile.
NEXT SUNDAY, January 18, the pastor will meet with those who desire to renew their church membership. 12:30 pm, in the chapel.
THE ANNUAL COLLEGE LUNCHEON is planned for Monday, January 19, at 12:00 noon. This lands on a federal holiday and colleges are normally closed that day. All active college students are invited to come for a great lunch, Biblical preaching and personal prayer.
