A New Third Service on Sunday mornings started in September. It meets from 9:45 - 10:30 a.m., offering another point of involvement in the life or our congregation. It is a more informal worship in a shorter 45-minute format. The 11:00 a.m. service is nearing its comfortable capacity. We hope the new service will increase our overall worship attendance as well as attract new people to our church.

2010 Lenten Bible Study
On Wednesday nights during Lent, we will begin a small group study
of Rev. Bill Carl's book The Lord's Prayer for Today. We are
gathering the names of those who want to participate in the study as well as
members who want to host the study in their homes. Small groups will also be
able to gather in the church if a home study will not work.
The schedule for the study is as follows:
- Participants will gather for a simple supper and an Ash Wednesday service on February 17.
- February 24 will mark the beginning of the study.
- The study will conclude on March 24.
- On April 1, members will be encouraged to gather together for a simple supper and evaluation of their experience.
Please do consider joining this church activity. It may be the devotional experience that you need this coming Lent. Contact Diane Banasiak (254-7768) if you have any questions.

Making Marriage Work Seminar
Pastor Dan Hans leads a two-part marriage seminar at Second Church entitled
“Making
Marriage Work.” It will be held on Friday, February 26, 7:00-9:00
p.m., and Saturday, February 27, 8:00 a.m.-11:30 a.m.
The subjects addressed include:
- Marriage Myths - The belief in a happily-ever-after marriage is a widely held yet destructive myth about marriage. Respecting differences will be the focus.
- Marriage Pressures - Regardless how strong a marriage is, it is not invulnerable: pressures build and problems occur even in the best of marriages. Communication will be the focus.
- Marriage Conflicts - Misunderstandings are as natural to marriage as is sex. Regardless how deeply a husband and wife love each other, they will disagree and have conflict. Learning how to "Fight" fairly and respectfully will be the focus.
Please call Diane Banasiak (254-7768) if you need child care.
