The Debt Retirement Account: $525.00<br />
Our New Focus We do have a balance in our Building account. We are grateful for this. We<br />
have now done all we intend to do at this time. Therefore, we encourage everyone to direct their<br />
Building Fund gifts to the Debt Retirement account. We wish to be aggressive with our debt.<br />
On <strong>February</strong> one we made our regular payment plus two advance payments. We have<br />
now made 91 advance payments saving $371,899.52 in interest. Our balance is $816,412.91.<br />
The Shades Soon we will add shades on the upper windows in the gym. The shades will match<br />
the shades on the lower windows. So while they are not a “Black-out” shade it will screen out the<br />
direct sunlight that can smack you right in the eyes. The shades will have a remote control to raise<br />
and lower them because Jay is only so tall. The shades are now paid for and they have been<br />
ordered Thank you!<br />

OUR BIBLE STUDIES<br />
Next Adult Inquirer’s Class Pastor Urbach will teach a winter Adult<br />
Inquirer’s class. It will begin Thursday, <strong>February</strong> 7 at 7:00 p.m. and will<br />
be done before Holy Week.<br />
It is a great Biblical and Doctrinal review for our members and a<br />
way in which those interested in becoming <strong>Lutheran</strong> and knowing what<br />
our church teaches may become members.<br />
Men’s Bible Study * A brief reminder that men’s morning Bible study is open to any men of<br />
the congregation and friends. Our winter and spring Bible study takes place on Thursday<br />
mornings from 7:00-7:55 a.m. in the Young Conference Room (located right in the church<br />
offices). Our study for these Thursday mornings will look at a topic that we as men may be quick<br />
to shy away from: Love. In 1 Corinthians 13 we get a man’s view of love from the Apostle Paul,<br />
and ultimately God’s view of love. What does it mean to embrace love like a man and to daily<br />
live that love like a man? Hope you can join us as we examine the characteristics of love and<br />
discover in new ways how the God of love continually loves us. This study is led by Pastor<br />
Baumann.<br />
