January Birthdays 8 Tanielu Ia (2001) 12 Javier Mendoza 13 Rosella Himm 14 Renato Franco   A challenge to the congregation from Pastor Richard: Since we are studying Romans, I would like all of you to memorize this portion of scripture: Romans 5:1-5 V1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, V2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. V3 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; V4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. V5 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.   Thank you to Shally Ia and her workers for the 2010 bulletin board. The message is inspiring and the board looks really great!   Thank you to Sharon Ross who is teaching the older students (9-14 years) during the church service. We appreciate your willing spirit to teach!   Where we came from is not so half so important as where we are going. Pray this week for the following people: I Love the Lord because He hears my prayers and answers them. Because He bends down and listens, I will pray as long as I breathe!
