Souper Bowl of Caring
This has been an annual church activity for many years. February seems like a long way from Christmas but it’s not. Super Bowl Sunday is February 8th this year. This is an opportunity for fun, food, and fellowship for a good cause – our local food pantry.
We ask church members to make a large pot of their favorite soup and then we “sample” them and vote for the best one. The winner gets their name on the “trophy” soup kettle.
We will have two signup sheets. One for soups, and the second for those who will help with setup and cleanup and provide extras like salads and desserts. Please join us for some hot soup and warm friendship on a cold day. If you have any questions, please call Randy Myers.
The Chosen
The Chosen group will resume on Thursday, January 8th at 1:00. We welcome anyone interested. We are viewing Season 3. You may come into the group in the new year, and we will “catch you up!”
Hosted by Carl and Barb McIlquham in their home.
Wednesday Afternoon Bible Group
The Wednesday afternoon bible study group will be resuming Wednesday Jan. 7th at 2 pm at the church library. Please join us for some fun learning and discussion. If you have any questions or suggestions please call. Blessings to all!
No Prep Bible Study
We will resume our “No Prep” Bible Study January 14th at 4:30pm. We will meet once a month to start. Pastor Ferdinand will pick a Chapter of the bible, and we will read and discuss it. Because there is no plan you do not need to prepare or read ahead. Come listen, enjoy the discussion and the fellowship.
Sisters in Faith
A new year! Hope your holidays were filled with the celebration of our Lord’s birthday and time well spent with family and friends. Sisters will be continuing the study of Max Lucado’s book “The Ten Men of the Bible”. The focus right now is on the story of Lazarus, the final witness. Sisters will be meeting the Tuesdays of January 6th, 13th, 20th, and 27th at 1 pm. We meet in the Grade 3 classroom.

“Don’t Waste Your Life”
Start the new year right with reading a good book. Why not try Don’t Waste Your Life, by John Piper, 2009. In this book the author suggests living with a passion to glorify God and finding joy in Him. Many people strive to attain comfort and earthly treasures throughout their lives. We also may try hard to avoid risk and sacrifice, but Piper says not to get into that style of living. He explains that true joy comes from exalting God and making decisions that will affect eternity, which may include things that are uncomfortable and risky. We should seek to live for God’s joy, not for our own.
Happy New Year and get reading. Find a nice variety in our church library, including fiction, non-fiction and children’s books.
Antigo Community Garden
God provides the sun, water, and soil. You provide the seeds and the will to plant and till the soil. Together a bountiful harvest is produced.
Volunteers Needed to Operate Our Video Camera
We would like others to volunteer to help run the camara on Sunday mornings. We will train you and we have instructions printed. We can train during the week or on Sunday mornings. We would also sit with you for a couple of times until you are comfortable. We would like to have enough people trained so that we can take turns on a rotating schedule. If you are only slightly interested, try it. Call the church office for details.
