Coming this week: A little insider info from your church secretary…dress warmly on Sabbath!! The HVAC system has been acting up all week and our trusty facilities team has been working hard to get it up and running but…they are waiting for a part and we are crossing our fingers that it arrives in time to have it repaired for Sabbath. Right now it's a frosty 54 degrees in here, brrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Happy Birthday to all of February birthdays! God bless you in the coming year. "Gifted Hands, the Ben Carson Story" airs this Saturday night at 8:00pm on TNT. As you know Ben Carson is a SDA who grew up in the projects and who overcame many obstacles to get to where he is today; the director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Children's Center.

A very special Valentines Day event is being planned! The WSDA Church family is invited to a special Valentines Celebration on Saturday, Feb. 14 at 6:30pm in the fellowship hall. Married or single, you will enjoy a delightful evening of light refreshments, a love song sing-along and rich fellowship with good friends. Due to the influx of the homeless population in the surrounding area, we should all be aware of what to do when approached at the church. Personally walk them to a deacon or pastor, introduce them, and walk away. Our deacons and pastors have been trained in helping in these situations. We don't recommend giving them money or rides. PRAYER Ministry. The WSDA Church has a prayer team that prays for members' prayer requests. We are always looking for new members, if interested in joining our team, contact Andrea Gibbs or Laura Hanley. REMINDER: The team will pray for 30 days for your requests. If the team has not heard from you after the 30 days, your request will be dropped from the prayer roster. We want to hear your praises and your answered prayers, as well. Just go to www.worthingtonsda.org and click on prayer at the top of the page, and then click on prayer request at the top of that page to submit your request. If you don't have a computer, you can call in a request to the church office 885-7812, or put one in the offering plate. Prayer is the lifeline of the church—so keep praying!
