ANNOUNCEMENTS

PRAYER POWER… A praying church is a living growing church. The weekly prayer group will meet in the Jack Burke Room.

All are welcome. THE NEXT PRAYER GROUP WILL MEET ON MONDAY, JANUARY 8^TH AT 12:30 PM.

MONDAY NIGHT BIBLE STUDY – Please join us for a 6 week exploration of “The Life You’ve Always Wanted” by John Ortberg in the Junior Activity Room at St. Columba beginning January 15^th at 7:30 PM.

TO THE COOKIE CAPER TEAM – Many thanks for the gift of cookies delivered to my door by the friendly volunteers from St. Columba. The treats were delicious and very much appreciated.

A PCC Mission Moment Sunday January 7^th: Who better to learn new farming methods from than a farmer in your community? Through a Presbyterian World Service & Development-supported farmer-to farmer agroecology project in Malawi, farmers selected for training are able to share their agricultural knowledge with other families in their village. Techniques like composting and intercropping are helping women and men transform plots of land into thriving sources of nourishment. Since learning to plant groundnuts and pigeon peas together on one plot of land, farmer Abel has seen his soil’s fertility improve and his yields double. He and his wife Mercy are incorporating the food they grow into new recipes. “Life has greatly changed for us,” shares Abel. PWS&D supports food security for smallholder farmers
