*Invocation
Teach me how to
listen, O Lord. Tune me into those who offer true wisdom, sound guidance, and
insights from the heart. Teach me to respond with eager openness. Restrain my
desire to be heard in favor of inviting others to speak from their hearts. Especially,
show me how to listen to you as I read your Word, to hear your voice in the
natural world, and to reflect on the thoughts of your Holy Spirit. Teach me how
to listen to the One who taught us to pray…

ABW Breakfast
Saturday, Feb. 7 @ 8:30 am
All women of the
church are invited to the annual American Baptist Women’s breakfast at the
Essenhaus. Devotions will be led by Beth & Diane DeLooza and a short
program will be given by Erma Mullins. If you need a ride please call either
Diane at 536-3162 or Erma at
536-8730. If you plan to attend please call Erma by
Wed. Feb. 4.
In order to grow this
church we need to get out all kinds of information on what takes place here.
Right now the way to do this is for you to contact Shelley Bicksler at
585-526-6845 or leave a note in her box. Every time your group meets, a
representative should call Shelley to let her know what took place. Shelley
does her best to write the column for the Chronicle-Express, but, she needs
your help. Be sure to let her know of upcoming events, meetings, and plans!

One Liners:
¨ You can tell how big a person is by what it
takes to discourage him.
¨ We don’t change the message the message
changes us.
¨ If God is your co-pilot, swap seats!
¨ The will of God will never take you to
where the grace of God will not protect you.
