New Hope Uganda

If you have a suitcase in good condition that you would be willing to donate, you may leave it by the collection basket in the church foyer.  We need at least 8 more suitcases for our team to take our donations to Uganda on February 17th.  We also have Uganda T-shirts for sale at the clearance price of $10.  All proceeds go towards the Uganda Missions Trip project.

GSCC will again be participating in the Baby Bottle Fundraiser for the Whatcom County Pregnancy Center. A baby bottle was put your mail slot this past Sunday as part of Sanctity of Life Sunday. If you don’t have a mail slot yet, you may pick up a bottle in the office.

Please take your bottle home, fill it with a check, cash or coins and pray for the women who might be contemplating an abortion.  We will be collecting the bottles February 17th.

The Man Christ Jesus: Theological Reflections on the Humanity of Christ by ManChristJesusBruce Ware
“In far too many instances, the church is functionally docetic, basically affirming that the divine Christ only seemed to be human. But as Bruce Ware skillfully and passionately explains, the gospel and its implications depend upon the full deity and true humanity of Jesus Christ. Biblically faithful, theologically solid, devotionally heartwarming, The Man Christ Jesus will increase your knowledge of and reverence for our wonderful Savior and Lord, the God-man Jesus Christ.” —Todd L. Miles, Assistant Professor of Theology, Western Seminary, Portland, Oregon

Copies are available from the church office for $12 or check it out from the library.
