Food for the WeekIn an effort to balance the menu each week, we would like to request 1 class bring savory options (such as vegetable, chips, sandwiches, quiches, casseroles, meats, etc.) and 1 class to bring sweet options (such as fruit, cakes, donuts, cookies, etc.). Thank you!
Living Beyond Yourself (savory) and the PWOC Board (sweet) have food for the week on January 24th. Please bring your items ready to serve with with necessary serving utensils and remember that you will be providing food for the entire PWOC body. Teachers please help remind your classes we will need 2 people from each class to assist in setup before (around 8:30am) and clean up after the study. Your help would be such a blessing to our hard-working Hospitality team.

January Book Club
The next book club meeting is on January 27th at Corrie’s house at 1900. The book they will be discussing is Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller (see description below). For more information contact Bethany or e-mail org@pwoc.org.
“I never liked jazz music because jazz music doesn’t resolve. . . . I used to not like God because God didn’t resolve. But that was before any of this happened.” In Donald Miller’s early years, he was vaguely familiar with a distant God. But when he came to know Jesus Christ, he pursued the Christian life with great zeal. Within a few years he had a successful ministry that ultimately left him feeling empty, burned out, and, once again, far away from God. In this intimate, soul-searching account, Miller describes his remarkable journey back to a culturally relevant, infinitely loving God.

If you would like your children to have food, please bring something from home and label it. Then let the staff know that you have brought food for your child. Watchcare does offer a few snacks, like goldfish crackers and water. Any questions or concerns can be directed to Corrie C., the Watchcare Coordinator.
