After the first month of feeling my way around and trying to figure out a schedule that will be useful for all of us, February will mark a time when we try to set some things more firmly in concrete. First, the new service time at 9:30 AM starts this coming Sunday. That's followed by the initiation of our weekly Bible study and healing service. The healing service is at 10 AM every Tuesday followed by a Bible study that focuses on the coming week’s gospel lesson. 

And for those who are working or prefer an evening Bible study we will be beginning that this Tuesday as well: 6 PM here at the church the first Tuesday of every month. Same focus, same gospel lesson. 

My office hours will also transition to 9 AM until 1 PM every Tuesday and Thursday. This will allow me time to get set up for the Tuesday healing service and Bible study. I’ll keep the same hours on Thursday just for the sake of continuity. That being said, next week I will be here on Monday and Tuesday because I have cataract surgery on Thursday! So much for things in concrete! Unfortunately my doctor only operates on Thursday mornings.

In addition, we will begin this Sunday with the original Nicene creed that omits the "and the Son” (the Filioque) clause from the creed. It will probably take us several weeks for it to go smoothly so don't worry if it's a little bumpy to begin with. Please see last week's newsletter if you'd like some background on the history and theology of this change.

Otherwise, Kerry and I are simply delighted to be part of this beautiful community. We look forward to growing in friendship and faith with each and every one of you. We look forward to being a place where the good news of Jesus Christ emanates with laughter, joy and conviction. Peace and blessings to you all!
