Luke 5:1-11

The scripture reading for Sunday, February 7, 2010:

One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, with the people crowding around him and listening to the word of God, he saw at the water's edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets. He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat.

When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch."

Simon answered, "Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.

When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.

When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus' knees and said, "Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!" For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon's partners.

Then Jesus said to Simon, "Don't be afraid; from now on you will catch men." So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him.

Special Sunday School Service

Winter Greetings!

We are planning a special service for Sunday, February 14, at 9:30 a.m. to celebrate being children of God and the wonders of his love. The Sunday School children will be singing some of their favorite songs as part of this service. They are practicing their songs during the Sunday School hour for the next two Sundays. There will be other “youthful” music and a special message for all those who are young at heart. Please join us for this joyful morning of worship!

With the disaster in Haiti being all over our television screens and on the radio, children sometimes feel hopeless and don’t know how they can help those in need. A Sunday School teacher came up with a great tangible way for children and their families to help those in such desperate need in Haiti. They can donate items to create a School Kit or a Health Kit. The contents of each kit are listed click the link. The items should be new. The kits, any loose items and financial donations will be gathered on a table in the narthex of the church and mailed out the first week of March to UMCOR.

If you have questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact our church office at 920-269-4411. Thank you for all your support of the Sunday School Program.
