We welcome into membership this morning Matt Otis by way of adult

Food, Friends and Fellowship. Stay after worship for the potluck. There is
plenty of food, so come and enjoy yourself.
Today there will be a major Benefit at the Cedar Falls Am Vets for our Alise
Williams. Alise is a three year old baptized member at College Hill. She is
the niece of Ivan and La Dawn Hankins. An auxiliary site for the benefit
will be the Fellowship Hall at CHLC where we will host a potluck and
accept donations to the Williams Benefit. There will be a basket for cash
donations or checks made out to the Williams Benefit and, be advised,
that an additional amount will be included in our donation from the HELP
account. There will be matching funds from the Black Hawk County
Chapter of Thrivent. We are hoping to reach a goal of $1500.00.
Stewardship Thought: 1 Corinthians 10:31-11:1: Good stewards are
imitators of Christ who work hard and intentionally to build up other
people and thus bring glory to God. Martin Luther called Christians "little
Christ's"-not in the sense that we are perfect and holy but rather that
we are to reflect Christ's love in our words and actions.

Ortberg understands what being an effective leader is all about. Through

Unleashing the Power of Rubber Bands.
In Sunday School today: The story "Jesus Heals Jairus's Daughter" served
as the focus of Sunday School today. Just as Jesus by Word and touch
raised the dead girl to life, so by His Word and Sacraments, He kills and
buries death and raises us to eternal life. Questions for discussion include,
"How did Jesus heal this little girl? How does Jesus heal us from the
sickness of sin?"
Building Healthy Families: No special Valentine in your mailbox
yesterday? Perhaps you didn't look in the right place. The world's ALL
TIME BEST messages of love, written just for you by the author of Love
Himself, are waiting for you today: Romans 8:38-39, Psalm 136:2, John
3:16, 1 John 4:7-8, Jude 1:21. Lutheran Family Service of Iowa 800-622-
7285
Outreach Idea Mark 1:40-45: Jesus cleansed a man suffering from a
serious skin disease and asked him not to tell anyone about it. The
healed man could not refrain from telling everyone he met about what
Jesus had done for him. Jesus does not ask us to be quiet in our witness
but rather to speak boldly of what He has done for us and how much He
means to us.
