Joy-Us Circle members may pick up their 2018 Opportunities For Women booklets in the church office. Connect and Grow with Connect Groups! Jesus said, "Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me...When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father." Connect Group booklets for Winter/Spring 2018 are available in the lobby and at www.redwoodfallsumc.org. Take time to read and discover a way you can connect with others and with God. Sign up using the bulletin insert (put it in the offering plate or give it to one of the planning team in the lobby) or online. Registrations must be in by January 28. Gift card bonus! When you purchase a gift card of any kind you will receive a special “God Bless You” gift! Gift cards are available in the lobby before and after worship. A Prayer Service for Life & Healing will be held at the Redwood Alliance Church, 231 E 2nd Street, at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, January 28th.
CHILDREN’S TIME MESSAGE
