Fun for Hope Prom Dress Event
Hope’s Place are planning a prom dress boutique. This boutique will allow young women to come and pick out a dress to wear top rom at no cost to them. There are no income requirements or restrictions for them to participate. However, in order to make this event work we need some help from our communities. We are asking that if anyone han an old prom dress or even a bridemaid’s dress they would be willing to donate, please bring it to Hope’s Place in Goodland. If you need someone to pick them up please let us know that too! We are collecting dresses until March 4th. If you help but don’t have a dress to donate we are also accepting donations of jewelry or dress shoes to go with our dresses. We would also like to have long dry cleaner bags to send the dresses home in. If any questions or requests, please call 785-890-4673. e-mail is info@hopesplace-goodland.com Hope’s Place is a non-profit 501(c)3 and can provide a tax receipt upon request.

Jeremiah 29:11-13 NIV For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (12) Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. (13) You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
As we start through a new year we need to hear God’s words to lead us. He has the plans already in place to show us the direction to travel to attain His goal for us.
Our Ground Hog breakfast is Saturday February 5th from 7:30 – 1:30. As always, we will be serving pancakes, waffles, eggs and fresh made sausage. Please plan to be there and invite your friends.
We are starting a new study in our adult Sunday School class, titled: “Forward” by David Jeremiah. We were not created to always be looking back over our shoulder at the past, we need to be looking forward and be thankful for God’s lessons. SS is from 10:00 – 10:45 each Sunday morning.
Have a wonderful month and we look forward to seeing you in church each week.
God’s Blessings,
Pastor Galen

Call Me!
Call too me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know. Jeremiah 33:3 NASB
Have you ever used caller ID to make sure that you don’t answer phone calls that you don’t’ want to? Maybe you haven’t, but we all know the feeling of not wanting to talk to someone. Maybe we’re concerned about being uncomfortable, we don’t know what to say, or we just don’t want to have to say “no” to whatever is asked us.
Let’s not make that same assumption about God’s response when he hears us call out to him! God himself asks us to call on him, and he tells us that he will answer. God knows us—heart, mind, and soul. He is never going to be stuck without a response. He desires communication with us. He wants us to know so much about him that we begin to understand great and mighty things that we didn’t know before. Give him a call today!
Hello, Lord Jesus. Than you that you want to listen to me. I have a lot of things to talk to you about. I would love some answers, too. Would you reveal something of yourself to me today? I know that there are many great and wonderful things that I don’t know yet, and I am ready to
listen. (From Be Still and Know Daily Devotion)
