SCHEDULING OF NURSERY
VOLUNTEERS-Given
the necessary cutbacks to address our church's deficit and budgeting
challenges, WFPC will no longer have a paid position (Nursery Director) to
schedule volunteers for our nursery.
Starting in February this volunteer coordination responsibility will be
handled by a nursery committee consisting of church member volunteers. Meanwhile, in order to offer our children
stability, we will continue to have paid nursery caregivers working side by
side with volunteers to care for our children.
If you have a heart for this type
of ministry and are interested in helping our newly-formed nursery committee
with the coordination of volunteers, please contact Lisa Baker
(lisabaker@wakeforestpres.org).
PLEASE SIGN UP FOR THE NEXT NURSERY VOLUNTEER ROTATION FOR FEBRUARY-MARCH 2010. Please check your calendars and sign
up at the table at the end of the preschool hall or check the schedules
online on the website for your assigned dates (if applicable),
www.wakeforestpres.org, and contact
nurserycoordinator@wakeforestpres.org, to assist with this
ministry. The nursery cannot run smoothly without your help.
MEDIA VOLUNTEERS NEEDED-Help is needed with WFPC
media (audio, video, etc.) for worship services, choir rehearsals, and special
events. Training is available! If
interested, please contact Shawn McHenry or Bob Hendrickson.
I T COMMITTEE BEING FORMED-If interested in
joining a technology committee at Wake Forest Presbyterian, please contact Shawn McHenry.
MISSION

chocolate pie, pecan pie), brownies, cinnamon rolls and all kinds of cookies
will be sold. We will also have full and half cakes and pies. If you forget your money or check book that

Texas.
ONE-DAY FAMILY MISSION OPPORTUNITY-Saturday, March 27th 8AM to 5PM All are invited to
participate in this short-term mission opportunity. Our group will travel to New Hope
Presbyterian Church Camp near Chapel Hill and complete minor repair and assist

support; we are consistently collecting over 110 units of blood for those in

CONGREGATIONAL
CARE
WE ARE INSTITUTING SOME NEW CHANGES
TO SOME BRANCHES,
combining some, dissolving some and leaving some as they are. Deacons received
their new branch assignments this past week at their diaconate meeting. Members should be hearing from their deacon
soon. New updated directories are available in the church narthex and the CLC, please
pick one up. PLEASE CHECK THE
DIRECTORIES FOR ANY NEW BRANCH NUMBERS. REVIEW THE INFORMATION ON YOUR FAMILY
AND INFORM THE OFFICE OR YOUR DEACON OF ANY PRINTED ERRORS. Deacon branch
number assignments are printed in each week's Sunday bulletin. Checking the
Prayer List each week in our bulletin is a great way to see if anyone in your
branch needs extra attention. John pointed out that the Apostle Paul said,
"Bear one another's burdens, and in so doing, you fulfill the love of Christ."
Any questions or concerns don't hesitate
to contact your deacon or Lynn Long, Congregational Care here at WFPC.

YOUTH
SOUPER BOWL OF CARING TODAY-More than 20 years ago,
the Souper Bowl of Caring began with a simple prayer from a single youth
group: "Lord, as we enjoy the Super
Bowl football game, help us to be mindful of those without even a bowl of soup
to eat." Since that day, more than
$60 million has been raised for local charities across the country through the
Souper Bowl of Caring. It has become a
powerful movement that is transforming Super Bowl weekend into the nation's
largest youth-led weekend of giving and serving. Please give generously today during all three
worship services at WFPC. We will be
collecting canned/dry goods as well as loose offering for Tri Area Ministries,
our 2010 Souper Bowl of Caring charity of choice.
ASH WEDNESDAY PANCAKE SUPPER-Please join us for the WFPC annual Ash
Wednesday Pancake Supper February 17th. The youth will be serving steaming fresh hot
cakes, bacon, sausage, milk, juice, and coffee from 5 - 7 pm in the
Christian Life Center (prior to the Ash Wednesday Service at 7 pm). All of your supper donations go directly to
help our youth attend summer trips this year.
Thank you for supporting WFPC Youth.
