Dr. Don Wender will be leading an education series during Sunday School on the Gospel in the Book of Job. This is sure to be a wonderful education experience as it deals with things like: Was Job a real person? Have you ever thought about the book of Job in terms of the Gospel?  Take away four truths from chapter 1:6-19. There will be much more as this is just in the first lesson.  

PRC READERS will gather at the home on Kathy Dekker, 4512 Boulevard Drive, on Thursday, February 2, at 9:30 AM for a review and discussion of UNPLANNED JOURNEY.  The book deals with the unwelcome diagnosis of cancer in a spouse, and the process of taking this "unplanned journey" as a husband and wife.

Kathy will also present information on the stages of grief.  

LADIES:  We will be starting the Beth Moore Bible Study series "Living Beyond Yourself: Exploring the Fruit of the Spirit" on February 8. This is a 10 week study, meeting every other week at 6:30 at the home of Marla Moore.  Workbooks will be ordered next week. All ladies are invited--please contact Marla if interested. nomo76@hotmail.com or 712-281-0646 

MIDDLE SCHOOL youth group will meet Sunday evening from 5:00 - 8:00 at church for a "costume"  bingo fun night.  Kids if you don't know what costume you are suppose to wear, please contact one of the sponsors. Please bring three small prizes no more than $5 total.  Pizza and pop will be provided but you are welcome to bring your favorite snack to share.

HIGH SCHOOL youth group, watch Facebook for meeting details.

INTERIM LEADERSHIP TEAM meetings are monthly at 5:30 pm.  The next meeting is February 15th   Everyone is welcome to attend. 

Altar Flowers.  Are you are interested in placing flowers on the altar on a specific Sunday?  In honor of someone, in memory, or just because, please see Phyllis DeWolf for details.

LADIES MONTHLY LUNCHEON:  All ladies are invited to meet monthly for lunch. It will be held the third Thursday of each month at Charlie’s.  The next one will be February 16.  Charlie’s features a buffet including soup, salad, and make your own sandwich so serving is faster for those on a limited time schedule.  Take an hour out of your busy schedule to join friends & have a relaxing time.

GOSPEL MISSION SERVICE:  The Gospel Mission needs your talents.  Help the men and women at the mission have a good day! If you are willing to help sing (in a large group), play an instrument, read Scripture, relate an experience of God reaching into your life and touching you or guiding you, lead a responsive reading or call to worship, read a poem - or just smile, there's a place for you at the 11:00 a.m. Sunday service at the mission at 500 Bluff Street. Peace Church leads the service every other week. The next service is Sunday, February 5.  You will walk away blessed and in wonder of God's provision and love for us.  Contact Carole or Terry Johnston for details.  carolej06@hotmail.com   

PEACE PRAYER TIME:   If you have a problem, prayer is the answer. Anyone in the congregation is welcome to attend the prayer time at 8:30 - 9:00 a.m. every Sunday morning. Prayers are silent or spoken. You may attend once, whenever needed, or as a regular member.  The group is meeting downstairs near the nursery.

The Domestics Quilting Group meets at St. Mark every Tuesday at 1:00 and work through the afternoon.  If there are women who would like to work after dinner we will stay longer.  Contact Kathy Dekker, 277-8248 if you wish to work in the evening.  All women are welcome.
