Welcome to a New Year!
Now that decorations are starting to come down and everyone is going back to their regular routines, it is a great time to think about our resolutions for the New Year.
We know that most of us make an attempt at New Year’s Resolutions. We start out well but many of us fizzle out after a few weeks. This year, instead of putting diet and exercise first, let’s put God on the top of the resolution list. A New Year is a perfect time to explore God’s promises and faithfulness. At the end of the year, many of our resolutions will still need work, but God always keeps His promises.
He promises to be with us always, never leaving us. God promises to supply our needs, to bless us with life and give us grace.
Now that Christmas has past and we have unwrapped God’s greatest gift and promise, Jesus; we hope that He will be on the top of your resolutions list. Remembering God’s promises and making a new commitment to follow in his footsteps is a great way to start the New Year. We are all a work in progress.
At the Power House, we are blessed and honored to be a part of your children’s lives and community. Together we are building the Kingdom of God here and now.
In Christ,
The Power House

January Topics
This month we will be looking at different pictures of God. We can’t take a picture of God with a camera, but we can use the Bible to understand what God is like. Hopefully by the end we will have a clearer picture of God that we can show to people we meet.
January’s topics for the 6:00 4th and 5th grades and the 7:00 Middle School Groups are as follows:
1/6 Pictures of God- God is like a Rock
1/13 God is like an Artist
1/20 God is like a Roommate

December 2011
Merry Christmas!
For many of us, December is a month we look forward to all year. The twinkling lights, carols and decorations help get us into the Christmas spirit.
Throughout December there are many great activities happening at the Power House. We invite you and your families to join us as we celebrate the true reason for the season, the birth of our Savior, Jesus.
This month at Pizza Church, we will read about the birth of Jesus in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Why Mary and Joseph? What happened in the manger that special night? What about those wise men and the star? And most important, what does the birth of baby Jesus mean for us?
When we think about Christmas and enjoy the presents and lights, may we remember the greatest gift we get to share every day, an indescribable gift; the love of our God through the gift of Jesus. How can you share this indescribable gift with others this Christmas season?
Christmas is the perfect time to share this gift with others. And you don’t even need to wrap it! We look forward to celebrating with you and your family this Christmas.
In Christ,
The Power House

Happy Fall!
We have had a great beginning to the fall season at Power House. Now that the excitement of costumes and candy has passed, let’s really focus on giving thanks this November.
November is a time when we remember our blessings and give thanks for the people and good things in our lives. Sometimes it is difficult to recognize our blessings. And we all have days when we are less than cheerful. Even in those moments, we are asked to remember that we belong to Christ Jesus, and the great gift that He has given each of us.
This month our Scripture lessons include how we can use our gifts and talents, serve others and give thanks to God. At the end of the month we will begin the Advent season. Advent is the weeks leading up to Christmas in which we read and prepare for Christmas. Everyone is welcome to join us on the first Sunday of Advent, November 27th for worship.
Take time this Thanksgiving season to look around and give thanks. See the beautiful fall leaves, the brisk weather and our family and friends, all part of God’s blessing. We look forward to sharing with you and your family this Thanksgiving season. God continues to shower blessings on our neighborhood. Look around and give thanks for what God has done!
In Christ,
The Power House

October 2011
Hello!
The weather is finally getting cooler and we have officially entered fall! Even with all of the rain and school delays, hopefully everyone is getting settled into the new school year.
October is a great time to take a look around at God’s creation. We can still see the last blooms of summer but we catch glimpses of changing leaves and the beginning of fall colors. God is still working, and He’s never stopped!
This month we take time to get dressed up and have fun celebrations for Halloween. Just like the pumpkins we carve and decorate, God is ready to scoop out all the gunk inside of us and give us new life through Jesus.
So take a look around and take notice of what God is doing. We are busy “Building the Kingdom Here and Now” and are blessed to have your children participate. God is still doing great things in the Pigtown neighborhood! We would love for you and your family to be a part of it.
In Christ,
The Power House

Church News
Hello!
Welcome to fall! It’s time for school and new beginnings. After a long summer and a few hurricanes we are ready to get back into our regular schedule of activities here at the Power House.
One important announcement is that Pastor Jeff will be taking some time off for a few weeks. He is a valuable part of the community and a very hard worker for Christ, we look forward to his return later in the fall. Until then we ask that you all keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
Meanwhile, events are in full swing and we look forward to seeing you! Ms. Tamara and Ms. Sarah to name a few will still continue to run the regular activities. As followers of Jesus we continue to trust in God and his guidance as we continue to follow the path he has set before us.
We are excited to have you be part of this amazing journey of faith.
In Christ,
The Power House

August 2011
Pastor’s Notes
Hello!
The month of August brings many changes in our lives. Sometimes it’s hard to keep up with them.
Many kids will be starting at a new school by the end of the month. Those first days at a new Middle School or High School can exciting and challenging for kids.
We also have some kids who recently completed their time in youth ministry and will now be starting college, vocational training, or new jobs. They’ll soon be experiencing a whole new set of challenges in life.
Much like the rest of life, August brings many changes. Fortunately, as followers of Jesus we have the Holy Spirit to guide and direct us through these changes into the lives God calls us to live. May we continue to trust in His leadings and lean on Him for our comfort and strength.
Thank you again for continuing to bless this church by having your kids participate in its activities. We are honored to have them be a part of the church.
In Christ,
Pastor Jeff Anderson

Pastor’s Notes
Hello!
If the Son gives you freedom, you are free!
---John 8:36 CEV
This verse from the Bible is one I think about often this time of year. As wonderful as the freedoms that our country gives us are, the freedom that Jesus gives is so much more.
As parents of teenagers, you know that the kids are always trying to test their freedoms. It can be quite a challenge sometimes. It’s always a tough balance between keeping them safe and letting them learn from their own mistakes.
Fortunately for us, Christ’s grace provides eternal safety despite our mistakes in this life. At the same time, we are free to be guided by the Holy Spirit in paths of righteousness.
May we truly live in freedom -- the freedom that lets us follow Jesus.
Thank you for your continued trust and support of the ministries at The Power House.
In Christ,
Pastor Jeff Anderson
