Just a reminder: as a way to begin Isaiah, let's trace the theme of holiness through the book.
1) Do some thinking/studying/tracing of the unique title "Holy One of Israel."
2) Also, trace the words "holy", "holiness" in the book. What do you discover?

Budget issues
I find the whole idea of staff cuts or reductions in staff pay disturbing, especially if the body is not fulfilling its end of the bargain by being faithful in tithes and offerings.
I don't particularly care that the economy is depressed; is the Ancient of Days dependent on the economic status of the United States? Of course not! Nevermind the status of the global economy - join God's economy. My Father owns the cattle on a thousand hillsides; He never has a credit crunch.
Lets pray that He prospers His people and His church. Even as we are to be in the world but not of it, let us be different in this way as well SO THAT our community sees a difference and wants to know what we have that they do not. Not that there are not important lessons to be learned from lean times, and not that we want to get into some false prosperity doctrine. But we should not be here! Why can't we give out of our abundance AND our poverty? Most of us are feeling the squeeze, but we still have so much. Take a leap of faith!

Groupies,
We will be cleaning the activity center this Saturday morning (1/10) at 8:30am. Bagels will be provided but please bring other breakfast items - eggs, casserole, bacon, etc.
I really enjoyed our discussion tonight about how getting together for any reason, including cleaning is more about being together than the actual activity.

Cleaning the Activity Center
Hi everyone,
I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year! Saturday is our day to clean the activity center. I believe that you have been cleaning at the same time each week, I cannot make it that early because I need to feed Lorelai etc... So I suppose just plan on doing it as you have the past couple months. If someone could mention it at group tomorrow that would be helpful.
Thanks!
Shawn
