Memorize/Reflect- “It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people for works of service…” (Ephesians 4:11-12)
Reflection- What can I do to be more equipped and prepared for ministry at Shoreline and in our community?
Discussion- What is one area of volunteer ministry you have a passion to serve but have not yet explored? What can you do to learn more about how God might use you in this ministry?
Prayer Direction- Pray for God to empower every leader at Shoreline to effectively recruit, equip, and encourage ministry volunteers!
“Live It!” Challenge- Write a note to a Shoreline leader who has helped inspire you toward service or who has trained you to serve the Lord. Thank them for their ministry.
February Prayer Focus: Use the C.A.T.S. prayer format for one more week. Next week Pastor Kevin will introduce a new way of praying (A-Z Prayers).
January-March: Take a new step in fasting. Give up one thing this week and each time you think about it, talk with the God who satisfies all your needs and longings!

Shoreline Community Outreach wants to let you know what opportunities to serve are available around our community. We have a lot going on and we wanted to keep you informed.
Coming up THIS Saturday, January 30th , is Shoreline Clean-Up Day from 9 am- 2pm which helps us clean and maintain the facility for both visitors & members alike. If you are able to help, please show up here at the church at 9 am.
As the year progresses, we learn of more and more opportunities to serve our surrounding community. One of these opportunities is the opportunity to bless the residents of the women’s shelter we visit twice a month. We have been asked to help refurbish a room of the house with the blessing of our Benevolence & Hope team. If you would like to donate to this project, please let us know.
Another opportunity coming our way soon is the Sea Otter Classic. We are looking for volunteers for various activities helping out with these bicycle races. There are shifts from April 12th-18th and the shifts are 7 am-12 pm and 12 pm-6 pm.
That’s it for this week. If you have any questions or would like to volunteer for any of these opportunities to serve, please contact Megan Huff or Deb Federico, or call 831.655.0100 x338.

This week’s question is: How should I serve others?
We learned in class this week how Jesus served his disciples in an incredible way. You can read about it again in John 13: 1-17. Imagine having no paved roads or sidewalks and wearing sandals all the time! In Jesus’ time servants would wash people’s feet. It was a lowly job. But Jesus washed the disciples feet himself! He showed that we should serve others.
Grab an old towel and a permanent marker (get permission from your parents!) and write the name of a few people that you want to serve and why you want to serve them. You can hang the towel in your bathroom to remind you to follow through on your idea.
Then discuss these questions with your family:
Why was Jesus willing to be a servant?
Why does Jesus want us to follow his example of servanthood?
What are ways our family members can serve each other?
How can we encourage each other to remember to be servants?
Pray together to ask God to remind you to be willing and cheerful servants.
