Announcements!

While I was bummed to not have frontline last night, I did hear a number of people who said roads were very dangerous and icy last night.  I'm glad that everyone stayed safe (and that Hudsonville closed today!)   



Since we didn't get to talk about announcements last week, please read through these carefully.  They may look similar to last weeks, but some additions and changes have been made, so read it through please!

-----------------------------------------------------
-Frontline guys who participated in our day of shooting & eating Jan. 19, please give Cam $5 for the expenses (food, shells, pigeons, etc.)

-”Prayer and Praise”, this Wednesday, January 30 at 8:30 PM.  Come for a time focused on worshiping God through prayer and Singing.  We’ll meet at the ARC.  This is a completely optional event.  As of now, this is not a regularly-scheduled event.

-Men’s retreat dates: Guys, please check your calendars to see if you are available either Fri Feb 1 through Sun Feb 3, or Fri Feb 15 through Sun Feb 17.   Please e-mail or facebook me with a yes or no for BOTH of those weekends.  This needs to be done ASAP!  At this point, most people are available on the first weekend (Feb. 1-3)

--If you are a parent of a kid going on the mission trip this summer, please mark your calendar!  There will be a brief meeting on Sunday, February 3 right after Sunday School. Plan to meet at the front of the sanctuary.  Sunday school usually ends right around 11:30.  Ask Marcy for details or let her know if you can’t make it. 

- Also, Sunday, February 3 is the night of the Super Bowl.  Sponsors and I decided that we did not want to cancel frontline all together, so we are going to have an hour-long meeting from 4:30 PM until 5:30 PM for those who would like to come.  We will meet at the ARC as normal.  There will not be a meeting at 7:15 PM on Feb. 3.

-Rockin Worship Road Show: This event requires you to sign up (currently the sheet is in the ARC).  Cam & Shannon are leaving with the church van from the ARC at 5:00 PM on Friday, February 8.  Jon is willing to leave at 6:00 PM if anyone cannot leave at 5:00.  Please bring $10 in cash.  They do not accept credit/debit cards.

- Frontline is not having a normal meeting on Sunday, February 10.  Instead, you are invited to attend The Gathering (a contemporary worship service led by Hope College students).  The bus will be leaving from the ARC at 5:30 PM and coming to Holland.  You will first stop by the Friendship House and then head to the Gathering.  If anyone would like to come but needs to come later, please arrange for a ride to Holland and call me when you get here.  I will hook you up with the rest of the group, and you can ride back to FGRC on the bus.  I think the bus will be back to church around 9:45 PM (give or take 15 minutes).  For most Hundsonville students, there is no school on Monday Febrary 11.

-Juniors and Seniors, Sherri from Jamestown Reformed Church has invited you to join her group to a visit at GVSU on Monday, February 11.  The purpose is to start learning more about campus ministries.  What they are, who participates, and what they do.  You will need to sign up for this event (sign up is currently at the ARC).  This would probably be a late night...you would get back to FGRC around 11:00 PM.

-Please sign up for the Winter Retreat!  We are leaving church Friday, February 22 and returning Sunday, February 24.  We will NOT meet Sunday night after the retreat.  Cost is $25.

-Frontline girls, your retreat is scheduled for March 9-10.  Cost is $25.  You will leave early Saturday morning and return Sunday afternoon.
