3. 23 Feb is our next Day Center for the Homeless dinner, more details from Rex and Roger later on in February.
4. WE STILL need a volunteer for being a reporter. (Don’t make me volunteer you…it ain’t pretty!).
5. Our website is looking AWESOME! Barbara has been really hitting it and the site is looking great. Check it out.
6. Ed "The Great" Payton will be our speaker next week.
I wish you all Peace, Happiness and Love in your lives…if you get a chance do one good thing each day this week for someone,
Your friend,

Audra Fogle; guest speaker 18 Jan 2015
Class,
Attached is Audra’s bio. She is a dynamic and fun person to be around. She is a very serious and passionate person with a mission. Her lesson this Sunday is titled, "God’s Welcome".
David Wiggs moved Audra from the Youth Ministry to the Welcoming Ministry for our church for a specific reason and purpose. We as Boston Avenue UMC members will want to hear, learn and support our church in this new approach to "open arms" for our members.
See you Sunday at 9:45.
Be Happy and Share that Happiness with others,
Jim

Class,
It was good seeing you all on Sunday. Attached you will find our weekly newsletter.
A BIG REMINDER: I/we need a Reporter for our class, it is a very easy but important job to “capture” a few notes from the class and submit an article to the BAUMC staff for inclusion into “The Word” publication. Sharon Earley has the scoop on this position. Let Sharon and/or I know if you would be interested in this post and try it for awhile.
Go in Peace, Do Good and be Nice to others,
Jim

Jim or Lynn-
My brother’s wife, Donna Ward, passed away peacefully Monday after a valiant ten year struggle with a cancerous brain tumor. Funeral will be Saturday in Wyoming so David and I are leaving Friday.
Prayers are what we need most right now. Lots of family members are traveling for her service. Just because you ‘know’ something is imminent, it doesn’t make it any easier. Many thanks,
Brenda Worthington
2015 Roster and Photo Link
Attached is the 2015 class roster and a roster for our out of town members who want to stay connected. Tara Harl can be removed as she just let us know she is moving out of town next week. If there are any additional corrections please email them to my home address: pglow and I will send out a corrections list.
This is the link to the Maranatha Members’ Photos:
The photo link is a private link so not accessible by someone doing a search. You can also view it by going through the Maranatha website and the members only link. Last year the names appeared below the photo. It appears you now have to click on the photo and the name appears in a new window. It might be different in different browsers.
Happy New Year

From Caranatha
Class,
This message from Caranatha (Lynn Jesse-Russell):
We were just notified today that Neal Pascoe’s mother (Loreita) passed away this Sunday. Services are pending.
Per Debbie, as of this writing, no additional support for now is requested. She will let us know more as plans are put together for services.
v/r,
Jim
Maranatha, 4 January 2015
Class,
I hope you enjoyed Jose-Luis message as much as I did this past Sunday. He is a great person with a vision that I personally believe will lead us, as a church and society, into the next evolution of “reaching out” to those in need and less fortunate. The audio recording has been posted to the Maranatha website and is ready to be listened to:
http://www.bostonavenue.org/uploads/audio/150104maranatha.mp3.
This coming week our speaker will be Mr. B. Brandon Scott from PTS. Please, be ready for class to start at 9:45 and for Mr. Scott to start at 10:00. Business will be wrapped up before and after he speaks.
If you have an announcement, please let me know before class if possible. Time is precious and so please be brief and to the point.
I apologize for the lack of time to reach out to the class for Joys & Concerns. Please feel free to email your J & C and I will include them in our class newsletter.
On the technical side from Barbara Meehan: “If you are receiving duplicate class news emails, and would like to make the duplicates stop, find the unsubscribe link in the email from “Maranatha Class Website” and delete your subscription to the maranathaclass.wordpress.org website.”
Blessings and Peace,
