   Happy New Year and happy 1 year birthday to Legacy Church.  We cannot believe it has been one year since Legacy was birthed.  We want to thank all of you for a great first year. 
   This coming Sunday at 10 A.M. will be an important annual Vision Sunday.  Pastors Todd and Stephanie will be sharing where we have been, where we are now and where we're heading for in the future of LC.
   The theme for this year is SIGNIFIGANCE and we're expecting God to be doing some great things for us at LC this year.   We'll explain more this Sunday.  You don't want to miss it!!

   If you are wanting to become a Women of Signifigance  then you will not want to miss the special ladies meeting that Stephanie is calling to prepare for the arrival of April Osteen-Simons on January 17th & 18th.
   This meeting is for all women who call Legacy their home church.  Bring your creativity as we prepare for this grand occasion.  We will be meeting this Sunday, January 4th at the church at 5:30 P.M. so we can organize this special event.

   For the month of January, we will be having Wednesday evening breakout sessions at the church.  On these Wednesday evenings there will be three different topics to choose from.  Please bring a finger food and/or drinks to share.

• Bringing Up Boys - DVD series by Dr. James Dobson-Stephanie Hearnsberger, Facilitator
• Leadership Classes - Pastor Todd, Teacher
• Adult Bible Study - Miniterial Staff, Teachers

CHILDCARE & YOUTH SERVICES WILL BE PROVIDED!

   April Osteen-Simons, sister of Pastor Joel Osteen in Houston, TX, will be the guest speaker at Legacy Church on Saturday, January 17th.  There will be an 11:00 A.M. service and 6:00 P.M. service for Ladies Only.  She will also be speaking to Legacy Church on Sunday, January 18th during our 10:00 A.M. service.
   April and her husband, Gary Simons, pastor High Point Church, a congregation of 5,000 members and growing.  She is an accomplished author who has recently written "What My Mother Taught Me".  As a busy mother of five children, she understands the challenges facing today's women.  Make sure to mark your calendars for this once in a lifetime event!

***The youth is having a contest to have at least 30 youth at a Wednesday evening "Wednesday Night Live".  When this is reached, Pastors Todd and Stephanie will take them to Chuck E. Cheese for an evening of pizza and fun!***

   The Legacy Youth Ministry meet every Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m. for their weekly "Wednesday Night Live" services.  This youth service is a youth-owned and operated ministry with training provided by the Youth Ministry team leaders.
    The youth do the work of the ministry from the praise & worship (musicians and vocalists) to the audio/visual, the ushering, and even giving some devotionals.  We want to help them cultivate a relationship with God that will last past their teenage years.  This gives them responsibility and provides them a purpose to show that God can use them right now in their youth years!.  For more info, please contact our Legacy Youth Team Leaders, Jim & Amy Julien.

 
  What does B.L.A.S.T. stand for?  Big Loud Awesome Spirit Thing.  The next B.L.A.S.T. night will be Saturday, January 24th from 7:00-10:00 p.m.  Youth grades 7-12 gather together at the church on the 4th Saturday evening of each month for a night filled with games, fun, and fellowship.  It's kinda like a lock-in, minus the having-to-stay-awake-all-night thing.
    Every youth is invited and encouraged to attend.  See our Youth Ministry Team Leaders, Jim & Amy Julien, for more details.

   We are having our next shelter ministry outing to the Haven of Rest Ministries on Sunday, January 25th from 1:00-3:30 p.m. Haven of Rest is a Christ-centered non-profit ministry specializing in ministry to the homeless in our city.
     We are asking for your help in volunteering on the 4th Sunday of each month where we are committing as an outreach for our church to help in their feeding program. If you are not able to attend, we are asking you to help supply desserts. You may bring your desserts to that morning's service and we will get them there.
     Please sign up on the board by the kitchen whether you can serve and/or just supply a dessert. For questions or to sign up as a volunteer, you can email our Haven of Rest Ambassadors, Karl and Cyndi Stover.
