PRAYER LEADERS NEEDED Do You Pray? Prayer is indeed a personal conversation with God. For some it is their first step towards building a relationship with Him and for others, prayer provides ongoing support of an established faith. Won’t you consider sharing and leading prayers so that we may all have a united conversation on Sunday mornings? During the month of February, please consider signing up to volunteer as a Prayer of the People leader. A sheet is in the Narthex. If you have questions, please contact Lisa Schwarzentraub or Pastor Oman.

HAITI EARTHQUAKE SURVIVORS INTERVIEWED AT LIFETREE CAFÉ
A rare filmed interview with survivors of a catastrophic earthquake in Haiti will be screened at Lifetree Café on Thursday, Jan. 26 at 12:30 p.m. at the Candlewood Pool House. The program, titled, “Why Did I Survive? Questions From Natural Disasters and Other Scrapes with Death,” features a filmed interview with Rodney and Lillian Smoker who were serving as missionaries in Haiti when the earthquake occurred. “There was a huge noise like a Mac truck, and then things started shaking,” Rodney Smoker says. “The last thing I remember was the ceiling coming down. Then everything was flat, dark, and there was so much dust you could hardly breathe.” During the program, participants will see personal video footage of the aftermath of the earthquake.
