Stephen Ministry—Please join us Sunday, January 18 at 7pm for "Making Life Changes at 50 and Beyond."
The January 2009 Stephen Ministry continuing education program, coordinated by Cindy Hough, will discuss making life changes at the age of 50 and beyond. Just as Jesus asked his disciples to change their lives to follow him, many planned and unplanned events in our lives change our direction and purpose and they affect us in different ways. We'll talk about how to be adaptable to change, how to make changes, and what it means to redefine ourselves. Questions? Email Joan Stys or call her at 794-0667.
The next Stephen Ministry training class
starts January 25, 6:30 pm. There will be a short information

A New Year's resolution you can keep? TLLC's first blood drive of 2009 is almost here! There are four drives each year, and donating once a quarter would be a meaningful resolution that could save someone's life. Thanks to all the regular TLLC donors for your loyal support of this vital community service. We are hoping to add more "regulars" this year! Please sign up on the board in the narthex for the next drive coming Saturday, January 24 in Fellowship Hall. For more information, call Lori Schroeder at 250-5248.
