January 24th is Sanctity of Life Sunday, held on the Sunday in January that falls closest to the day on which the Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions were handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court on January 22, 1973. As we pray for the unborn and those who will never be born, we also remember and pray for the mothers who make these decisions and those who live to regret them, as beautifully illustrated in this music video. Our local crisis pregnancy center is Crossroads.

This week (January 20th) we will be discussing chapters 4&5,
Earthquake news: Haiti and the Dominican Republic
Some have asked how Missionary Danelle Putnam and fellow missionaries in the Dominican Republic have fared since Haiti was hit so hard by the earthquake and the two countries share an island. Danelle's mother reports that they could feel shaking but "nothing fell off the walls." People waited in the streets until they felt safe to go back inside. Click here to read a blog that is kept pretty up to date with news from Danelle and the other DR missionaries.
A note to anyone responding to appeals for fund for Haiti earthquake victims: be sure to be very careful. As usual, there are several scams cropping up all over the place. Lutheran World Relief (a joint ministry of the ELCA and LCMS) is an example of a "save place" to send funds if you are interested in doing so.
IN THE STEPS OF ST, PAUL : Following the Footsteps of the Early Church into Turkey and Greece (a photo show by Lou and Debbie)

FIRST FRIDAY!
Following the Footsteps of the Early Church into Turkey and Greece (Lou and Debbie)
Due to schedule problems and unforseen circumstances, we will have to postpone this until further notice. Stay tuned, and we apologize.
A little "HOMEWORK:"
On January 3, Pastor Wiser suggested we each try to read John 1:1-18 daily for at least the next week or two -- see how many new insights we get each day.
Stan also challenged the congregation to memorize Ephesians 2:8-10 in the NIV translation so we can say it together on January 17th.
WARM CLOTHING DONATIONS NEEDED
"OIC of WA would like to get the word out that the Community Closet is very short of clothing and warm attire. We are seeing an increased need in warm blankets, socks, gloves, hats and coats. Additionally we are almost completely out of children’s and men’s clothing." The “Community Closet” (hosted by OIC-Opportunities Industrialization Center) is at 821 E. Broadway, Ste. 13 (across from Costless Carpet). Please bring clothing donations directly there.
Notes from Jon Bartlett, ML Ministerial Assoc:
1. "Ryan and Shawna Sloan are a part of our 2010 community missions trip to Nicaragua. They are selling home made pumpkin pies to help raise funds for the trip. I've attached their flier, which is very nicely done. You are free to publicize this as much or as little as you want. But as someone who went on the trip last year and is going again this year, I can definitely say that these trips are a blessing to the people of Nicaragua, to the people on the team, and to the community of churches here in Moses Lake. So if you plan on eating pumpkin pie anyway, make it for a good cause!" Contact Ryan or Shawna Sloane 509-x855x-x5594x. (If you'd like to see the flier, ask Debbie Hesse to email it to you.)
2. Keith East*rly is planning to go to Olympia on January 13 to pray for the 13th district representatives (Senator Janea Holmquist, Representative Judy Warnick, Representative Bill Hinkle) and would be happy to include folks from other churches who are interested. Contact him directly at keith @ cfatrustGod.org. Planned schedule: 7:00 am leave from Grace Harvest Church parking lot -- 12 noon at the Daniel Prayer House -- 2pm Tour of the Capitol -- 3:30 Tour of the Governor's Mansion -- 5:00 pm return to Moses Lake
Daily Texts 2010 have arrived!
We still have some copies of the Daily Texts Devotionals from Mt. Carmel Ministries available now for anyone who would like to use this devotional as part of your personal time and study. One copy per family, please, as long as they last.
There are also 1-2 copies of the large Thrivent Calendar back by the entry table, if someone is in need of a big calendar with nice pictures.

WARM CLOTHING DONATIONS NEEDED
"OIC of WA would like to get the word out that the Community Closet is very short of clothing and warm attire. We are seeing an increased need in warm blankets, socks, gloves, hats and coats. Additionally we are almost completely out of children’s and men’s clothing." The “Community Closet” (hosted by OIC-Opportunities Industrialization Center) is at 821 E. Broadway, Ste. 13 (across from Costless Carpet). Please bring clothing donations directly there.
Notes from Jon Bartlett, ML Ministerial Assoc:
1. "Ryan and Shawna Slo*ne are a part of our 2010 community missions trip to Nicaragua. They are selling home made pumpkin pies to help raise funds for the trip. I've attached their flier, which is very nicely done. You are free to publicize this as much or as little as you want. But as someone who went on the trip last year and is going again this year, I can definitely say that these trips are a blessing to the people of Nicaragua, to the people on the team, and to the community of churches here in Moses Lake. So if you plan on eating pumpkin pie anyway, make it for a good cause!" Contact Ryan or Shawna Sloane x509x-x855x-x5594x. (If you'd like to see the flier, ask Debbie Hesse to email it to you.)
2. Keith East*rly is planning to go to Olympia on January 13 to pray for the 13th district representatives (Senator Janea Holmquist, Representative Judy Warnick, Representative Bill Hinkle) and would be happy to include folks from other churches who are interested. Contact him directly at keith@cfatrustGod.org. Planned schedule: 7:00 am leave from Grace Harvest Church parking lot -- 12 noon at the Daniel Prayer House -- 2pm Tour of the Capitol -- 3:30 Tour of the Governor's Mansion -- 5:00 pm return to Moses Lake
New Year Book Study starts Wednesday, January 6th --
Ty and Artis have graciously volunteered their home for a study of the book, Free to Be. This is one of the resources used in our confirmation classes this year. A sign up sheet is at the church or let us know -- start date TBA (possibly during first or second week of January) and time will be announced soon. Join us for a discussion of what God has done for you! Especially good for new believers or not quite sure-believers who are interested in learning just what it is that draws us to God. (clue: It's GOD!) Invite friends, Artis says there is enough space for a large crowd!
FIRST FRIDAY!
January 8 (so OK, that is the second Friday in January, but we aren't counting New Years' Day ...) 7:00 PM, at the church sanctuary. Following the Footsteps of the Early Church into Turkey and Greece

Forwarded from Tim Cloyd; these emails were sent to all area churches/pastors:
1. Update: (Lupe Hernandez' repair bill has been paid by Grace Harvest Church)
2. Urgent request from Brandi West: (if you are interested in helping, please respond directly to DCFS, not through Tim Cloyd or SML)
We need help if possible. Each year we have a tree we place cards on for families in our community to donate presents to foster children from our office. Today we just found out that a stack of approximately 100 cards that were not taken. For some of the children, this will not be a problem as they are with great foster parents who are able to fill the gap. For other children, particularly ones living with relatives, this can be tough. We also have children in group care facilities that will not be spending the holiday with family. Any help you can provide would be wonderful. You can come to my office for the cards at 1620 Pioneer Way in Moses Lake. It is the single door on the left side of the building with a sign that says Division of Children and Family Services. The cards identify the age and gender of the child as well as ideas. Thank you for all of your help!

For this Sunday, December 20th after the Sunday morning worship service at the Hearthstone Retirement Inn, 905 S. Pioneer Way.

GIFTS FOR KIDS: to go with the 5 food boxes we will be buying gifts and an outfit of clothing for each of 7 kids. This was a late addition this week (2 families with children) so the best way to coordinate what to buy and which size etc is to contact Kelli. Anything not spoken for will be purchased from the benevolence funds on Saturday and wrapped on Sunday (helpers welcome!) so contact Kelli ASAP if you would like to do some shopping yourself.

Salvation Army Bell Ringers: From an email received from the ML Ministerial Assoc. president Pastor Jon Bartlett: Ken Palek [of the ML Salvation Army] is looking for churches and individuals to volunteer to help with [the bell ringing season].

They are up and running now, and will be every day except Sundays and the actual holidays between now and December 31. The days are split into 2 hour shifts from 10am to 6pm (the Post Office doesn't start until 11am).

>> Mark and Alicia Ell*stad are working on finding a temporary rental to live in until a house can be rebuilt. Their needs are few at the present time but we hope they will let us know when some assistance would be appropriate, ie, when space allows. For now, a few extra clothes would be most useful. Men's XL, women's 2x, and little girl's 3x clothing may be brought to the church on Sunday. "Hand me downs are perfect." (Laundered and in good condition, please.)
the Season of Advent
The word "advent" is from the Latin word for "coming," and as such, describes the "coming" of our Lord Jesus Christ into the flesh. Advent specifically focuses on Christ's "coming," but Christ's coming manifests itself among us in three ways--past, present, and future. This week we light the candle of JOY.

2. BOARD OF ELDERS . As per discussion and decision made at the Sept. 13 meeting, three members will form a new board (temporarily called Board of Elders):.
Moved: That three people be appointed to serve as a ‘board of elders,’ without assigned duties -- other than they meet on a regular basis – let the needs define the duties of this board as it evolves.
3. PASTORAL SEARCH COMMITTEE . As per discussion and decision made at the Sept. 13 meeting, at least 3 members will form a pastoral search committee:
Moved: To form another committee to search for a Lutheran pastor to serve us on an interim basis for a specific term of 1 year, with the understanding that we will also continue with the lay leadership at a level consistent with what we are currently doing.

MONEY LEFT ON THE TABLE !
There are still Thrivent funds available to our congregation for 2009, over $1000 to be used for a congregational need. All we need is a congregational need ... a little tricky since we have so few. Ideas? If not used by Dec. 31, this money disappears.
Looking ahead: November 15th -- Skip Blodnick, Thrivent rep, will be with us to talk during Sunday School and fellowship hour about what Thrivent has to offer

The Wash for LIFE Carwash was a big success! Over $525 was raised for our local crisis pregnancy center, Crossroads, on this day when church groups nationwide washed cars with one purpose in mind: to increase awareness of the work done at these local agencies. A front page article in the local newspaper helped with that goal (in spite of a few misspellings!). Thank you to everyone who participated and to Terry for organizing this benefit/fellowship event.
Crossroads will have their annual fundraising banquet on October 16 beginning at 6:00 PM at the ATEC center.

LUTHERAN CORE gathering at Fishers, Indiana -- Sept. 25-26
Some 1200 Lutherans are meeting this weekend to discuss "the future of Lutheranism in North America." Lou is attending this event on behalf of Augsburg Lutheran Churches.
