DISASTER DISTRESS HOTLINE
Natural disasters not only take a toll financially. They can also cause emotional distress. There is crisis counseling 24/7, 365 days a year that can help with stress, anxiety & other depression-like symptoms. These are all common reactions after a disaster (not just natural disaster).
You can call or text to 1-800-985-5990 or Disasterdistress.samhsa.gov
WOMEN’S TUESDAY STUDY
The ladies meet on Tuesdays at 5:30 PM. They are starting a new study using the book “Trustworthy” by Lysa Terkeurst. Please speak with Rev. Kristi if you are interested in joining or feel free to just SHOW UP!! All women are welcome!
WOMEN’S CHORAL RETREAT
Do you love to sing? Did you miss this time of joyful music and fellowship last year as much as others? After a year off due to COVID, Middletown Christian Church has graciously agreed to host the 2022 Women’s Choral Retreat. Hopes are you will join them-and invite others– for March 4-6.
A block of hotel rooms is being held until January 31st for $139.99/night. Registration fee for each participant is $50.00. You must register by January 31st either by completing the form (bulletin board) and mailing it or online at ccinky.net.
Due to Covid, a decision will be made by February 15th as to whether the event will continue as planned.
Please see the bulletin board for further details or go to the above web page.
WOMEN’S WEDNESDAY STUDY
A Wednesday night women’s study has formed and is led by Maegan Moryl & Kasey Murphy. If you would like to know more about it, please speak with one of these ladies. They meet each Wednesday at 6:00
WAYS TO HELP
The clean up is still ongoing after December’s tornado. It will continue for months, even years. If you are struggling with ways you can continue to help families who were affected by this disaster, please take a look at the newsletter posted on the bulletin board. The West Area newsletter lists many ways you can help your community in the coming months. There are some ways that you might not have thought of.
OFFERING ENVELOPES
2022 offering envelopes have arrived and are in the Fellowship Hall of the church (behind sanctuary). Please grab your box today
SBA RESOURCES
U.S. Small Business Administration can help with low-interest federal loans for disaster-related damages to business, homeowners, renters and private non-profits.
There is a poster on the bulletin board with more details and a QR code you can scan for information.

KICK OFF!!!!
Don’t forget to mark your calendar for our AGAPE kick off on January19th!!!! There is a kid friendly meal starting at 5:30. This meal may be kid friendly but it is always a delicious meal that adults can also enjoy and are welcome to stay and eat with the kids. Then after the meal there will be songs, games, lessons, worship, and a great time until 7:00 when the kids get picked up.
COLORS OF THE SPIRIT
Rhonda Henson hosts a small “craft” group that is held once a month in the activity building. Each person is responsible for bringing their own craft/project they are currently working on. You provide your own supplies...basically it is just a gathering of ladies who enjoy doing their craft/hobby and enjoy each other’s company while they do it. There are quilters, photographers, crafters, card makers, etc. The options are endless.
Sometimes Rhonda will have an organized project that is open to anyone. There is usually a small fee for the supplies. You do not have to do this project if you do not want to.
It is very casual and all ladies are invited. It starts around 5:30 and goes until around 9:30 or 10:00. Their next gathering is January 21st. Speak with Rhonda Henson with any questions.
UPCOMING SERVICE
There will be a memorial service at the church for Barb Lassiter on January 29th. The visitation will be at 10:00 with the service following at 11:00.
