Stir It Up!

You have 'em.
You talk in 'em.
They talk right back.
And sometimes,
you can truly be yourself in 'em.
Relationships.



Ingredients: You, another, and God.
Combine 'em to create
an even bolder concoction.

When is the last time you really
were a friend.
You chose to be unpopular
and speak the truth, in love?

Relationships are eternal.

Build 'em stronger with interaction
and dynamic conversing.

Stimulate 'em to grow
those involved.

Transform 'em
with encouraging truths from The Word.

Stir it up!




Doug promised to teach on loving one another...
and if you didn't make it on Sunday,
these are the spoons he invited each
of us to take as to be armed for the task at hand.

Hebrews 10:24
"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds."


So now you know what to do, and how to do it.
Grab you spoon and get to lovin' this week!

Just to thank you for choosing to praise the Lord
with us last Sunday.

Come back and learn to love one another
as Christ does, this Sunday!

Your Notes

Sermon Title: Get to the Point

Sermon Scripture: John 10:10

Hidden Word in your heart:
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy;
I have come that they may have life,
and have it to the full." John 10:10

Mental Note: Do I have life to the fullest?



Come and sit, have some coffee and we'll talk to you about life!
It's at least one thing we all have in common!

Senior Fellowship

Where will you be this Wednesday?

Are you human?
Over 55?
Looking for some pals with whom
to eat,
serve
and grow in The Lord?



Join the Seniors for their luncheon at the church building
Wednesday at 11:30am!

We Gathered

Your kids enjoyed peanut butter and jelly
& hot-off-the-griddle grilled cheeses
along with cheesy chili...
thanks to some grrreat cooks in the kitchen,
we all ate well!

Once the food was consumed,
empty mouths opened and shared about
themselves with neighbors at their table.

Can you remember all the facts your neighbor shared with you?



M&M get-to-know-you...

From hobbies to travel, we know all about you, now!
Thanks for joining your family at Newton Christian
for food, fellowship and fun-facts today!

Maladjusted

January 21, 1960
This was the message from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
to many students and faculty on the local college campus
50 years ago.
"I never intend to adjust myself to the evils of segregation and discrimination..." stated King.

What evils are there in our world today that we, as Christians,
should not adjust to?



One such maladjustment of today's Christian
should be toward abortion. King's niece, Dr. Alveda King, properly titles
abortion as the new civil Rights cause.

"If we're not speaking for the voiceless,
not being strong for those who are weak,
we're not living Martin's dream," she says.

May that which breaks the heart of God, break yours.



Food For the New

Is that you?
Are you one of the new?

If you have come alongside the
family at Newton Christian to glorify God
this past year...
we want to feed you!



A get to know your new family chili luncheon
next Sunday Jan 24th after service.
You can stay in the same building,
wear the same clothes,
use the same hands you just prayed with,
and eat with us!
Our treat!

Sandwiches provided for the children,
if they frown upon chili.
If not, DIG IN,
as all ages of brothers and sisters encouraged
to join us.

What Time Is It?

You heard Pastor Doug right... it's time to
Connect 2010!
No rhymes.
No rhetoric.
No rhythm.
These words to live by this next blessed year
are straight to the point:
Get Connected!



To God.
To Family.
To a local church.

Come join us if He's pointing you in our direction.
We've been praying you'd come!
Your brothers and sisters await your arrival.
