ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR JANUARY 4, 2026

The Church will be making subs on Saturday, February 7th, weather permitting. Order forms, due Sunday January 25th, are located on the table in the hall across from the sanctuary. A sign-up sheet for workers is located on the narthex bulletin board. Questions see Ron Lutz (419) 448-8675.

If you would like to pick up a box of 2026 offering envelopes, you may do so in the lobby. If you do so, please record your name on the sheet by the number of the box you took. You may also just continue to use the envelopes in the pews if you don’t take a box.

We will be taking down the Advent church decorations today after our worship service.

2026 Norman Rockwell Calendars are available in the narthex compliments of Harrold-Floriana Funeral Home.

As we will be making subs on the first Saturday in February, our next Men’s Breakfast will be February 14th at GW’s Fine Foods in Tiffin.

Pastor Dean began leading a ten-week study on apologetics (the defense or proof of Christianity using rational logic) today with an introduction. Please consider joining our 9:30 Sunday School class Why you may ask??
Apologetics is crucial for defending the Christian faith, engaging with skeptics, and providing a rational basis for       belief, fostering deeper understanding and dialogue within and outside the faith community.
PREVIEW: Dr. Chad Ragsdale, academic dean and New Testament faculty at Ozark Christian College, will                  help answer our questions about faith, truth, and suffering. This RightNow Media study will help us wrestle                with hard questions and learn to effectively communicate and engage with our culture.
You can watch the introduction on your RightNow Media account and join us next Sunday for what should                 be a lively and educational discussion of what we believe and why.
