Life Together
There will be a congregational pot luck to thank our volunteer teachers Feb 16th following Sunday School and Bible Classes. Bring a dish to share. "Lifelight” Bible Study will resume on Monday, February 10 at 6:30 p.m. and Tuesday, February 11 at 1:30 p.m. We will study the last half of the book of Genesis, beginning with chapter 25. For information and study materials see Janette or Mike Lang.” Luke 2:24 “….and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the Law of the Lord, "a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons."” Throughout the Old and New Testaments God gives us the pattern of proportional giving. If you look at Leviticus 12 you’ll see that the sacrifice for purification is either a lamb or this pair birds if the woman has no means to buy a lamb. God calls us to give in proportion to how He has blessed us – and of course Jesus sets the pattern by giving not only a portion, but His all.
