Who Are the Ministers?
Romans 16:1-7
I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a deacon of the church at Cenchreae, 2 so that you may welcome her in the Lord, as is fitting for the saints, and help her in whatever she may require from you, for she has been a benefactor of many and of myself as well. 3 Greet Prisca and Aquila, my coworkers in Christ Jesus, 4 who risked their necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks but also all the churches of the gentiles. 5 Greet also the church in their house. Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who was the first convert in Asia for Christ. 6 Greet Mary, who has worked very hard for you. 7 Greet Andronicus and Junia, my fellow Israelites who were in prison with me; they are prominent among the apostles, and they were in Christ before I was.

Ending Hunger 101
“Mom. MOM! I’m hungry.”
This was a frequent refrain when my children were young. It was unsurprising since they were growing and active. My children and I were lucky. I was always able to provide nutritious meals and snacks for them. I’ve never had to make the difficult choice between paying for rent or utilities and groceries. This is not the case for so many families today.
In 2022, 40 million persons in the United States were food insecure, an increase of 10 million persons from the year before.
Between 2021 and 2022, child hunger rose 45%.
Globally, hunger rose 25%, an additional 340 million persons who face food insecurity.*
As people of God, we ask ourselves, “What does hope look like during such challenging times?” An impactful way to make a difference is to learn more. Join me in attending Ending Hunger 101: Change the Systems on Saturday, January 13th. Read below to learn more about this training opportunity. Please let Susan McNeely (smcn7626@gmail.com) know if you plan to attend.
Hungering for hope,
Pastor Wendy
Ending Hunger 101: Change the Systems
Hunger is increasing dramatically in the US and around the world. Big picture actions are needed. I invite you to to learn more by attending Ending Hunger 101: Change the Systems on Sat Jan 13th. Explore the systemic issues that contribute to food insecurity, and learn what you can do to change them.
Both new persons and experienced Bread for the World leaders have found value in the class. The class offers plenty of time for questions and discussion.

Coming in January
The Power of Moments
To kick off the new year, we’ll be exploring the power of moments, based on the New York Times’ bestselling book by Chip and Dan Heath. What makes our moments significant? Why do some memories last longer than others? How do we create more of them?
Join us this January as we explore a life of EPIC moments and consider how our faith can guide us along the way.
