This Sunday is an exciting date for our brothers and sisters of the Francis Asbury National Korean Church. They will be celebrating the near completion of the renovation by worshiping in the new space. They have not yet received their occupancy permit, so we expect them to be back with us for a period of time. The permit can come any time. Let's remember them in our prayers.

Do you hear what I hear? The new sound and video equipment has been installed. Our first use of the equipment was last Sunday, (Jan 29th). We found a few buggy settings that have been resolved. Come this Sunday and enjoy Millian's latest technological upgrade. The total cost of the project has come in around $25,000. Of that amount, $10,000 was given to us by the National Hispanic Plan Committee of the UMC. We have already raised $3,000 beyond that through your generous contributions. Please remember this project as you donate to our ongoing building campaign fund.

Imagine No Malaria! We kicked off our campaign this past Sunday with Jo Chesson from the Baltimore Washington Conference. On our first day of collecting your offerings of committment and compassion, we received $600. That equates to saving 60 lives! Please remember to put your loose change in the jar in the sanctuary. We will provide another update on February 26th.

The Essential 100 Challenge: How are you doing on your committment to reading these 100 essential Bible stories? The Challenge is based on 100 carefully selected short Bible passages -- 50 from the Old Testament and 50 from the New Testament.  It's a great way to see the big picture of the Bible. This Challenge will change your life. If you don't have one of the reading cards, stop by the church office.
