WORSHIP THIS SABBATH

Speaking this Sabbath is Simon Liversidge, our Lead Pastor, with "The Gift of the Kingdom." Jesus tells the parable of the workers in the vineyard to help us understand that He calls each person to be involved in ministry. But, all have difference callings. In the story, we see three ways I can allow God to shine in me. 1) Relax. It's God's vineyard. 2) Respect. Each gift and calling is valuable. 3) Respond. I live from the grace I have been given.
Forks and Friendship will be hosted by Steve Ladig’s team today. If you are visiting CVC, please join us in Heartland Hall immediately after the church service. CVC members, please bring enough food for your family plus six others.

Upcoming potlucks:
February 28 - Forks and Friendship hosted by Carol Silva’s team
March 7 - Forks and Friendship hosted by Cecilia Liversidge’s team
March 14 - All Church potluck hosted by Janya Mekelburg’s team
March 21 - Spring Break (no Forks and Friendship today)

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Prayer Focus: "God in Christ gave Himself for our sins. He suffered the cruel death of the cross, bore for us the burden of guilt, 'the just for the unjust,' that He might reveal to us His love and draw us to Himself. And He says, 'Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you.' Ephesians 4:32" (Prayer p. 298 E.G. White) Send your prayer requests and praises to Dina Horst at 402.420.5970. Thank you!
