Bulletin – Feb 14th
Most couples on the Love Dare challenge will be on your 7th day (or 8th if you began last Sunday) of the 40 days. Congratulations! Today’s theme is “Love believes the best.” Today’s exercise is to compile a list of the positive traits of your spouse, and another list of negative attributes. Your dare is to pick a positive attribute of your spouse. Which list was easier for you to compile?
A great dare for all of us is to pick out one or more positive attributes of a loved one: parent, child, sibling, or friend. At an appropriate time, tell your loved one how you appreciate that positive characteristic about them. Enjoy the response!
I encourage everyone to attend one of the budget presentation meetings (today or next Sunday) as well as our Annual General Meeting on Feb 28th. These important meetings will apprise you of our vision for this year; and how the budget is allocated towards the vision. This is the Lord’s church, and you are part of His work. You are welcome and needed!
~Pastor Glen
