It's a new year and a new sheet on the flip chart! Thanks for the
fantastic participation through Advent and Christmas. Ever wondered how
the coffee gets made? Or how the dishwasher works? We would love to
share the inside scoop on these holy activities 😊! Please consider
signing up on Sunday.
Book Club – We meet on February 1’st to discuss The Book of Joy by the
Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu. These two great spiritual masters share
their own hard-won wisdom about living with joy even in the face of
adversity. The public library has one hard copy, you can order it by
interlibrary loan, and it is available on the library’s Libby site in
both audio and text. We meet on February 1’st after church in room 215.
All are welcome.

Remember that if you have school aged kids that need community service
hours, this does count and we are willing to complete any documents they
need. If you would like to help but maybe don’t have a vehicle or if
you have a vehicle but would like an extra pair of hands to help, please
let Terrilyn know. We can match you with someone. Remember-- many hands
make light work, and we extend a huge thank you to all our volunteers!
Mission and Service Story:
If you ever travel to the northern mountains of India and meet a man
named Surrender Singh, the first thing he’ll do is invite you on a walk.
Not a short stroll, but a real mountain trek. And the beauty of the
Himalayas is only part of what he wants to show you.
With him as your guide, the trail becomes a story. Every bend holds a
memory. Every village has a face he knows.
Many still call him “Singh san” from his time training at the Asian
Rural Institute, a Mission and Service partner in Japan. For more than
four decades, he has climbed these ridges. As you walk beside him,
people call out greetings. He calls them by name. Someone brings tea. He
digs in his pack and pulls out bananas or biscuits to share. And
suddenly you’re not just passing through—you’re part of the conversation.
He’ll point to a house and tell you how he once slept on the floor there
while helping build a water pipeline with the Mussoorie Village
Development Committee, the group he now leads. Another turn in the path,
and he’s showing you the school that has given local children a chance
to learn close to home.
And then there are the women’s groups. Surrender Singh lights up talking
about them. He trained them in organic farming. Now they grow and sell
their produce, earning steady incomes and strengthening their families
and communities.
By the time you reach the end of the trail, you realize that you haven’t
just taken a hike. You’ve walked through the story of a life spent in
gratitude and service to others.
Mission and Service partners like the Asian Rural Institute are where
leaders like Surrender Singh gain the skills and confidence to transform
their communities. When you support Mission and Service, you help grow
this kind of leadership and community—the kind that takes root, spreads,
and changes lives, one mountain path at a time.
