The February Mission of the Month for Faith Reformed Church is Gideons.  The mission of the Gideons is to distribute Scriptures.  They place Bibles in hotels, motels, hospitals, convalescent homes, domestic violence shelters, jails, and prisons.  They also distribute Scriptures personally to students, prisoners, firefighters, police, and military personnel.  They have distributed Bibles in more than 190 countries.  Many people have read these Bibles and found Christ as a result of that.  To read more about them, check out the Gideons International website at http://www.gideons.org/?HP=USA&LevelID=5&sc_lang=en.  They also have a Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Gideons-International/117058854998779.

On Saturday Februrary 18, we will meet for dinner first at 4:45 pm at the Homestead Restaurant.  We will then move on to Kankakee Jr. H. S. to see "Twelve Angry Men."  Play tickets need to be ordered and paid for by January 29.  Sign up in Building Grounds.

On Sunday January 22 at 5:00 PM, RCW has planned a delicious home-made soups and pies for you to enjoy.  The evening always ends by singing our favorite hymns.  Sign up in Building Grounds.

Join us January 15 at 5 pm for game night.  Hot dogs will be provided, but please bring a side dish to share and your favorite games.  This is always fun, and all are welcome.

The Mission of the Month for January is Words of Hope.  Words of Hope is a ministry of the Reformed Church in America that broadcasts the gospel by radio worldwide in more than 30 languages.  They have a presence on the Internet and also have a page on Facebook.  They have been broadcasting the gospel since 1945.  In many countries where they proclaim the gospel, Christians are persecuted.  They make it possible for people who are seeking information about Christ to receive that information safely by text messaging.  Words of Hope uses modern technology in creative ways to further the Kingdom of God.  They are succeeding at reaching seekers in the Middle East and much of Africa.  Christianity is growing in those places.  In some of them, it is growing very rapidly in spite of bitter persecution.  Your support of this ministry will help them continue, and even expand their work.

If you're reading this you've probably noticed that things look a little different (OK, a lot different) here on Faith Reformed Church's website.  We're in the process of changing our website to be more informative, up to date, and interactive.
