Happy New Year! Here's the latest news:
URGENT: Room in the Inn
The College & Young Adult group will be hosting the men from the Room in the Inn ministry THIS SATURDAY NIGHT. Please let me know if you can bring food (breakfast Sunday morning), join us for supper or spend the night.
A Note from Justin
This week I received the following letter that Justin Smith who has left for Marine basic training. He wrote specifically to our college & young adult ministry the following message:
“Sunday school class,
Hello from Parris Island, it is New Year’s Day, and I have 9 weeks until I graduate. I’m sure it’s still cold in Nashville, but here it seems like it’s “spin of a dial” that decides. Yesterday, it was about 70-75’, we woke up this morning and it was 40’. We typically have 2-3 days cold, 2-3 days hot and then it starts all over, which has kept most the platoon sick: small stuff, colds and such.
Enjoy the sermon and class this Sunday for me. Here all denominations are clumped together as “Protestants” and they seem to talk more about the military than God. (Okay, got my whining out of the way.) I will say the Christmas service was good; I was starting to worry Baby Jesus was going to be a Marine! (Sarcasm) I can’t wait to get back and see everyone and eat whatever Robin and Ken make for Sunday school.
Time moves quickly and until Christmas week, I couldn’t even keep track of what day it was. We have five drill instructors four our platoon; most others only have four. You can imagine the fun to be had here. I have had to push my body further than I thought I could. I am constantly amazed that I can do as much as I can. Before coming here, I never would have pushed myself like I do now. I miss you all and look forward to coming home. Just don’t make fun of my haircut!
Your brother in Christ,
Justin Smith”

New Sunday school series
Sunday school takes place in room 226 at 9:00AM. This week we start a new series investigating Paul’s letter to the Church in Philippi.
Course description: Paul was writing from prison as he faced the real possibility of execution. Whatever the circumstances, Paul had learned to be content, finding real joy as he focused all of his attention and energy on knowing Christ and obeying him. How great an opportunity we have, to study this short, but powerful letter of how we should live in Christ.
Have a great week. Grace and peace!
