Sermon Outline

WHAT ARE YOU DOING NEXT SUMMER?

It’s time to start planning GVCC’s next bi-annual mission trip. Our team will be  going to Ometepe Island in Nicaragua to help our missionaries, Tom & Esther Fritz and their family, minister God’s grace to the people on the island. The ten day trip will be at the end of June, leaving sometime after Father’s Day and returning before the 4th of July.

Space is limited and plans must be made, accommodations found, passports applied for or renewed and funds raised to cover the cost. GVCC’s 2008 visit to Ometepe was approximately $1,300/person, which may or may not be higher this year. So, please be praying now about whether the Lord wants you on GVCC’s 2012 mission team. Let us know by the end of February.

On another note...the community center that the Fritzes are building on Ometepe Island is moving along (at a snail’s pace Tom says). They are now building a three-foot high divider wall and steps between the two floors. This wall has a cement planter box on either side as the center of building (30 ft. x 15 ft.) is open to fresh air. Tom figures anyone can build a square building with a tin roof. He is using his imagination and the beauty of God’s creation in nature to deisgn unusual building forms. Hopes are that the center will be completed before our mission teams arrives.

TIME TO TAILGATE! 

After today’s NFL playoff games we’ll know who’s going to be in the Super Bowl.

No matter which teams make it, on Sunday February 5 th we’ll be barbequing in the parking lot and watching the game in the Fireside Room at our 7th annual Super Bowl Party. The fun starts at 3:00 and ends whenever the game is over. Everyone’s invited. In fact, make this event an outreach and invite your family, friends, co-workers and neighbors. (Does that remind you of our Mission Statement?) More information is in the bulletin insert.

CALL THE ELDERS

Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. (James 5:14)

Green Valley’s Elders (Pastor Scott, Willie Jew, Dominic Piccolo, Dietrich Gage & Mike Nicholson) are here to pray for you. Please be sure to let them know your prayer needs. You can use the tear-off tab on this bulletin or give one of them a call. Their phone numbers are on the back of this bulletin. Your prayer needs are always kept in the strictest confidence.

MUSICAL INVITATION

Do you like to sing or play a musical instrument? GVCC’s Worship Team is inviting everyone who is interested to join them at practice on Saturdays. The musicians arrive between 5:00-5:30 and the singers between 6:00-6:30. It doesn’t matter what level you’re at. Just come and join the fun. Being at practice on Saturday doesn’t mean you have to play or sing in front on Sunday so come and see what it’s like
