Psalm 23 and Its Promises
Psalm 23
1 The LORD is my shepherd (Relationship),
I shall not be in want (Provision).
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures (Serenity),
he leads me beside quiet waters (Refreshment),
3 he restores my soul (Healing).
He guides me in paths of righteousness (Direction)
for his name's sake (Purpose).
4 Even though I walk (Pace)
through the valley of the shadow of death (Tribulation), [a]
I will fear no evil (Protection),
for you are with me (Faithfulness);
your rod and your staff (Discipline),
they comfort me (Love).
5 You prepare a table before me (Hope)
in the presence of my enemies (Guard).
You anoint my head with oil (Consecration);
my cup overflows (Abundance).
6 Surely goodness and love will follow me (Blessings)
all the days of my life (Promise),
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD (Assurance)
forever (Eternity).

Bring one gallon of orange juice or one gallon of apple juice per life group member/couple.
Replenish trays, pick up trash and clean spills.
Welcome & greet each person - begin in the parking lot – Don’t have more than 2 at the door
Assist at the name tag counter only if needed.
Have someone at each entrance to the Worship Center to hand out bulletins for both services.
Get to know guests and offer to take them to worship, Life Group, ETC . . .
Be familiar with where each age group meets, restrooms and schedules.
Be on the look for guests, folks who look like they don't know where to go. Don't point them to a room location -- take them.
Set up on Sunday morning – 8 AM and tear down and clean up (wash dirty plates . . after the 10:30 a.m.)
On the Saturday pick up the bread from Paneras on Atlantic (in front of Lowes) between 9:00 - 9:30 p.m. and bring to church by 8:00 a.m. - if Paneras does not have many bagels call Donna Hastings so she can make adjustments.
Encourage good manners amongst the kids eating and fixing their drinks. Please encourage parents in to help their kids with this and to encourage them not to take food or leave trash all over the building.
Clean up can begin as soon as everyone is out of the atrium and into the 10:30 service. Trash needs to be bagged and the kitchen cleaned up. Stanley will take the trash out to the dumpster. Creamers can go back in the little refrigerators under the counter. The racks can be left on the bars on the wall. Cleaned coffee pots can be left on the rolling cart.

Hospitality & LifeGroup Leading Opportunities
Hi all,
This is just an invitation for more people to lead other Life Groups sessions either through the study of the Word of God or through a personal testimony. Nothing is more real than a testimony of a personal experience with our LORD Jesus Christ.
Looking ahead on the calendar we have Hospitality on Sunday 2/24. I would like to leave 3 Sundays open in March so we can do what we did in the past 4 Sundays. Sunday March 9, 16 and 23rd. On 3/23 I will not be in Jacksonville so I will need a replacement anyway.
Please pray about it and let me know if God speaks to you about leading one session.
Blessings,
Fernando

Rachel Marie Lerche
Hi everyone,
Rachel Marie Lerche arrived Tuesday, January 22 around 11am and everything went great! The baby is healthy and sweet. Jim and Becky are so in love and proud. They can't wait to have all of you meet her!
They are coming home today from the hospital but won't be needing meals until next week starting Monday, Jan 28. We will bring something to them on Monday night so the first night to sign up for would be Wednesday, Jan 30. We would like to organize bringing a meal every other night ideally so just let me know what night would work best for you.
The dates go something like this:
Wed, Jan 30
Fri, Feb 1
Sat, Feb 2 (since Sunday is SuperBowl)
Monday, Feb 4
Wed, Feb 6
And so on...
Becky requested NO NUTS (Zoe is Allergic!!), also no super spicy or gassy since Becky is nursing and that can upset the baby's tummy. Other than that they are ok for anything. If you need some ideas on what to bring, feel free to ask.
I speak for Becky and Jim when I say thank you in advance for this and they look forward to your warm meal and your visit.
Feel free to email me back at ejdark@comcast.net or call at 992-9181 to sign up and I'll get you directions/contact info at that time.
Thanks again!
