ANNOUNCEMENTS
DUE TO THE CITY-WIDE MASK MANDATE, PONCE WILL NOW REQUIRE INDIVIDUALS TO WEAR MASKS
YOUNG PROFESSIONALS SERVICE PROJECT | 1.29 | 8:30 AM
Join us to serve our neighbors on Saturday morning, January 29th. Meet at Ponce Church at 8:30 and we will take some food, socks and winter clothes to neighbors on the street. Afterwards we will grab breakfast together nearby.
FEBRUARY SUNDAY SCHOOL SERIES: WORK
Homework. Housework and yard work. Volunteer work. Working out to stay in shape. Not to mention paid work in its many forms. The vast majority of our waking lives are spent working.
We tend to experience some forms of work as necessary evils while others are so enjoyable and fulfilling that they can become addictive. Unfortunately, we participate in many forms of work as if they are unrelated or even opposed to God's work in the world and in us. Perhaps that doesn't have to be the case?
Join us for a four-week Sunday school class in February to explore a Christian understanding of work. In this class we will explore God's original intention for work, the ways our experience of work have been affected by sin, how God uses work redemptively (in us and through us), and how we as Christians should evaluate dynamics of gifting and calling in the work we choose to do.
PONCE MARRIAGE SEMINAR | 2.11-12
Conflict in marriage is inevitable, but thankfully it doesn’t have to stay in that phase. Join us at our first ever marriage retreat as Dr. Mike and Renee Higgins walk us through the stages of conflict resolution via Recognition, Resolution, & Transformation. We will attend this seminar together with our sister churches Grace Emmanuel, Kainos Fellowship, & Reconcile Church. The retreat will begin with a Friday evening talk on February 11th (7 PM), followed by two sessions on Saturday, February 12th (10-2PM) at Ponce Church. The cost for the retreat will be $20/person. Scholarships are available. Please RSVP by February 1st here. Lunch provided on Saturday.

God of Abraham
You're the God of covenant and faithful promises

“It Is Well With My Soul”
When peace like a river
Attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll Whatever my lot
Thou hast taught me to say
It is well
It is well with my soul
Chorus
It is well with my soul
It is well
It is well with my soul
Tho' Satan should buffet
Tho' trials should come
Let this blest assurance control
That Christ hath regarded
My helpless estate
And hath shed His own
blood For my soul
My sin O the bliss
Of this glorious tho't
My sin not in part but the whole Is nailed to the cross
And I bear it no more
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord O my soul
And Lord haste the day
When the faith shall be sight
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll
The trump shall resound
And the Lord shall descend
Even so it is well
With my soul
COMMUNION
“God Is Good”
May your struggles keep you near the cross
And may your troubles show that you need God
And may your battles end the way they should
And may your bad days prove that God is good
And may your whole life prove that God is good
