Some come out to Garnett Church of Christ/the Green Country Event Center & learn about some really exciting things happening in East Tulsa.

A few things to know about our church:

• We believe that we are all called to be the hands and feet of Jesus and each of us play a part in leading others into discipleship.  Our worship is for God and to encourage one another along our journey.
• We share communion every Sunday and you are welcome to share with us. Christ welcomes everyone to his table.
• Faith, fun and learning are available for kids infant through 5th grade during worship. An usher or the welcome staff at the Coffee Bar can help you find the right classroom.
• There is an area for nursing mothers near the Coffee Bar.
• If you need assistance, please talk to an usher, Coffee Bar staff or ministry staff.

Next Steps
What are the next steps to joining the journey of faith in Christ here at Garnett? Here are three next steps for you to choose from, and they range from dipping your toes in the water to jumping in.

A Welcome Place for All
We want to glorify God in East Tulsa by being a hospitable open place for our community to gather. The Green Country Event Center is one of the ways we create a place for faith to grow in our community.

Shawn Clark volunteered in demolishing the old church offices to make space for new classrooms

Thanks to Bruce Judd, Bob Schweikhard, Gene Rogers, and Shawn Clark who have been demolishing the inside walls of the old church office to make space for new classrooms for our church and community.

Our church staff moved to the offices on the far west side of the facility. The entrance is right by the parking lot, the first entrance on the west side with the glass window. We’ll put signage up soon. Come and see us anytime 9am-5pm Monday through Friday or give us a call to find out when you can come by to see us and the offices.

The space where our offices were in hallway 2 will become a nice big classroom that can be divided into 2 classrooms and be available for church use and rental space for the community.

We raised about $1,400 from the pancake breakfast & about $1,300 from Ken’s beautiful wood-turning pieces! Combined with some other gifts that have come in we have about $3,000 already!

Keep your ears open for some upcoming events at Cafe Mosaic, and your eyes open for some changes to the Mall thanks to your generosity.

Praise ! ! ! Rebecca’s mother is home from the Hillcrest Burn Center now and getting better every day! She wants to thank everyone who has been praying for her and believes that without this prayer she wouldn’t be where she is today. THANK YOU to all who have been praying – please continue praying for a full recovery of her range of motion. She is thankful to be alive!

David’s uncle Eddie has finished the chemo treatments for his throat cancer. His spirits and will to fight are continuing to increase with the help and love of family. Thank you for your prayers. We ask that you continue to pray for healing (both physical and spiritual) as well as a complete recovery.

Sterling’s EEG with the Pediatric Neurologist is this Thursday morning (2/4). Please continue praying for clear results and that his seizure was a one-time, isolated incident. David and Rebecca LeDoux ____________________

Four of our Garnett Church family members are going on mission trips this Spring. As always, we want to support those going on mission trips through donations from individuals who contribute to these trips. If you’d like to make donations to the funds, you can write checks payable to Garnett Church of Christ and put the person’s name in the memo.

Jo Morton is going with 1-2-3 International to Nicaragua to distribute worm medicines in villages along the Amazon River. She is leaving February 13. Jo has raised more than half of the funds but still needs $700 in order to make the trip.

Austin McIlroy is going to South Africa to join long-time friends of Garnett, Malvin Kivedo and Roger Dickson to do evangelism there in South Africa. Austin has covered his trip but is raising money for video cameras totaling $500. He is leaving February 11th. Follow Austin’s travels on his blog at http://lifeintechnicountry.blogspot.com/.

Lexi Johnson and Grant Grey are going to Ireland where they will reach out to people hungry for God and conversations about faith. Like Austin, they are using media to record and learn from the people they meet and will share these experiences with us when they return. They are leaving April 15th and will be gone for 6 weeks. Lexi has sent out letters detailing the trip, and she has copies of that if you’d like to know more about their trip. Lexi and Grant are each raising $4000 for their trip. Visit their blog at http://vivalaeurope.blogspot.com/ to follow their travels. __________________
