Soup-er Bowl Sunday & Chili Cookoff
Please join us following the 11 am service February 8 for our annual chili cookoff in the Fellowship Hall. This is your chance to sample several chili dishes and vote for your favorite. Also, it is a great time of fellowship.
Feed NM Kids
Join us on Monday February 9 at 10 am in the sanctuary as we assemble food packages for students at local schools.
Ash Wednesday Service
Lent is a forty-day period between Ash Wednesday and Easter, excluding Sundays. It is a time of self-examination, repentance, and spiritual growth for Christians. It is a time to ask the questions: “What do I believe? Who is Jesus Christ to me? What is my personal relationship with Him? What must I do to grow closer to Him?” Join us on Wednesday February 18 at 5:30 pm as we begin our spiritual journal.
Second Mile Giving
Our Second Mile Giving in February will go to support the Interfaith Bible Center. The Interfaith Bible Center, located at 7501 Trumbull Avenue SE in the International Zone of Albuquerque, Rev. Joanne Landry provides daily meals, showers, and housing for the homeless in the spirit of Matthew 25:35-36. As costs and the number of people in need continue to increase, our church remains committed to this essential ministry, having historically provided $450 of food each month and recently supplying a new refrigerator, freezer, and cold-weather gear like sleeping bags and rain ponchos. You may participate by noting “Interfaith Bible Center” on the memo line of your check. Thanks to those who have contributed $520 so far.
Winter Donations
As winter approaches, we are collecting gloves, socka, stocking caps, sweatshirts, blankets and sleeping bags for the homeless. Please place your donations in the bins in the narthex.
