New Worship Series "Drawn In"
How Do You Create? During our worship series on creativity, "Drawn In," we want to hear from you! How do you join God in making the world a better, more beautiful place? Do you take pictures, play an instrument, work with the homeless, write? We are looking for people to share music during our prelude or share a testimony about how they create. See Jason if you are willing to
share!
This Sunday we talked about the first wave of creativity, "Dreaming." You can see the sermon here. Next Sunday we experience the second wave, "Hovering."
Story Writing Workshop
Join Chicago-based writer and memoirist Kim Schultz as she returns to the Palm Beach area to teach a weekend-long writing workshop entitled: God Stories: Writing your Story of Faith. Through exercises, group work and personal narrative writing, each participant will
write their story of faith experienced in this world we all share. Participants are asked to be brave, honest and willing to be surprised. Please bring a notebook and pen you like to use. The workshop will take place Friday evening, January 25th, Saturday January 26th from 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM, and the opportunity on Sunday January 27th to have your stories read by Kim. The fee for the entire weekend is $50. If you would like to participate, but do not have the funds, scholarships are
available.
Souper Bowl of Caring
The first Sunday of February is always an exciting day In the life of our church! There's some kind of sporting event we understand, but for us it is a chance to play our best game for the hungry in Palm Beach County. We will have empty soup pots around after the worship service for you to fill with with coins and cash to support CROS ministries.
Of course, we can also expect an great lunch, provided by our Men's Fellowship, with a variety of delicious soups. We are looking forward to a great time of caring and eating together!

Saturday, February 9th is our annual church-wide gleaning day! While some in our congregation glean every Saturday, once a year we all take part together. What is gleaning you ask? It is the practice of going into fields that have either already been harvested or left unharvested to pick fresh produce that goes to food banks in Palm Beach County. This is a great way to quite literally do the heavy lifting of helping to ease hunger
in Palm Beach County. We hope you will join us.
