Other Announcements:
Join us for a gift card shower celebrating the recent arrival of Dorian Nash, baby boy of Casey and Keri Nash. A box is located in the upper Gathering Room this Sunday. Casey and Keri would enjoy cards from Amazon.com and Walmart.
There is a target date for the 1st week in March to resume ALL Bible classes.
If you would like to share some Valentine’s Day love and encouragement with one or more of Walnut Street’s college students, please contact Lesa (615-430-1293) or Allee Cude and they can provide you with contact information. We’re trying something a little different than our secret pal program, so your recipient can know who sent them a Valentine treat. Following are some COVID friendly shopping ideas: order a gift card with your next grocery pickup/delivery, send an e-gift card via email, pick up a Sonic or DQ gift card through the drive thru, order snacks/treats from Amazon or any online retailer and have them delivered directly to the student.
Between now and Valentine’s Day, students in the CIA group (3rd through 5th grade) will decorate cards to send to those in our church family who are sick and shut in. Supply packets are now available at the Welcome Center for the children to pick up after services. Please drop off decorated cards in the red basket at the Welcome Center so that these can be addressed and mailed. If you know of someone who would benefit from a card, please see Pat Pewitt.
February’s items for the Golden Deeds Ministry are towels/washcloths. These items will be provided to each of our mission house residents when they move in. There is a collection bin in the Gathering Room.
During these days, many of our people are relying on technology, some more than usual. If you need tech support with your tablet, smartphone, laptop, or smart-TV, please email us your question at: askwalnutstreet@wscoc.com. We will do our best to respond personally to your question and help offer support in some way.
Reading for today: 3 The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?”
4 And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who [a]made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? 6 So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”
7 They said to Him, “Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?” 8 He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. 9 And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for [b]sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.” Matthew 19:3-9 (My Life in Him Devotional Book page 30)
