* LITANY OF AFFIRMATION O give thanks to the Lord for he is Good! His mercies endure forever! In your timing, Almighty God, you have provided for Anderson Interfaith Ministries so they can minister more efficiently and effectively through their Women And Children Succeeding program. You have provided for a future and hope! How can we keep from singing your praises! We thank you for all of the holy moments that have occurred because of WACS and all that will occur in their new building in the years to come. We thank you for lives that are changed because of this ministry. And so, Loving God, we commend their ministry to you, and pray for your guidance and protection. Let this program stand as a sign of hope to the community - one where Christs light shines forever. Lord, you are the giver of all good gifts and we pray that you will be glorified in all that is said and done through this ministry. As the psalmist said Not to us, O Lord, be the glory. All Glory be to God, forever and ever! Amen. *GLORIA PATRI #579 * TIME FOR YOUNG DISCIPLES GREATOREX

JANUARY MISSION EMPHASIS HOSPICE OF THE UPSTATE The Mission Ministry is asking FPC to bring donations of birdseed to support Hospice of the Upstate. Hospice has beautiful gardens and grounds that encourage birds to nest and live nearby. Every patient room has a feeder outside so that patients and families can enjoy local wildlife. Please help us this month by keeping Hospice in prayer and supporting their ministry with donations of all types of birdseed. CHOIR NOTES Peter Haley and several choir members have been in Charleston this weekend at the adult choir music Festival by the Sea. Some of our Youth Choir members will be attending the youth choir music Festival by the Sea in March at Myrtle Beach.

FPC BLOOD DRIVE The Health Ministry of FPC will host a Blood Drive on Sunday, February 5th. The AnMed Blood Mobile will be in front of the Family Life Center from 9:00am till 1:00pm. Our goal is 40 donors. Forty donors will give the gift of life to 120 recipients, and will help FPC to work toward our obligation for participation in the Blood Assurance Program for our church members. Donors, please eat breakfast before donating, and bring a picture ID which is now required. Please contact Sandra Altman, 225-8134, if you have any questions.
