Prelude:  Cannons

Announcements:

• Thank you to all the men who attended the Men's Breakfast yesterday.
• Copies of the church directory are available in the foyer for anyone who is interested.  If we run out of copies, please let Tina Burke the Church Clerk know.  Also, we will be adding birthdays (month and day only!) and wedding anniversaries to the Directory for future iterations.  The Clerk will be working on obtaining this information from everyone.  Thank you for your cooperation.

• There will be a short meeting for the Safety and Security Team following the service.   They will have an after-action review of the Range Day yesterday and a Use of Force/De-Escalation training.

• The Constitution and Bylaws Review Committee will meet following the service today for an extended meeting.  Let's all pray with them that the Lord will enable them accomplish much.   They welcome any and all participation.  There will be no meeting on Monday. 

• Don't forget Wednesday night services on February 11th at 6:00 pm.   We will begin discussing How to Share the Gospel.  You really don't want to miss this very positive primer of Jesus's command to go and make disciples of all nations.

• There is a signup list in the foyer for those who would like to be on the Vacation Bible School Planning Team.  The VBS will be June 8-11 this year.  There is also a signup sheet for worker volunteers.

• There are signup sheets in the foyer about the church van also.  We would like to know if we have volunteers to drive the van and if there are those who would appreciate a ride to church or special events.  Please let us know if you fit in either of those categories.

• We are thankful for the faithful service of those who help care for the practical needs of our church. At this time, we have a vacancy for a Trustee and are seeking a willing member to serve in this role. Trustees assist with stewardship, property care, and administrative matters so that the ministry of the Word may continue unhindered.  If you are interested, or simply want to learn more about what this role involves, reach out to Pastor Tim.  Please also join us in praying that God would raise up the right person to serve our church family in this way.

• The first SBWM Ladies Day for 2026 will be February 14th at 10 a.m.  Please join them for fellowship, music, prayer, Bible study and a potluck lunch.  Because it is Valentine's Day, they will do a short study of the Bible's love chapter, 1 Corinthians 13.  All ladies are welcome to attend - feel free to invite your friends and family even if they don't attend Sonoma Baptist Church.  This meeting will also be on Zoom so you can attend by clicking on the link on our website - sonomabaptist.org.

• The next Council meeting will be February 15 following the morning service.  All are welcome to attend.

• The Deacons will meet on February 17 at 6:30 pm in Pastor's office.

• We will host a Community Family Movie Night on February 27th showing Amish Grace.  There are tickets available for you to hand out to anyone who may be interested.  Let's make this another outreach to the community.  We have good news to share with them, and this is a non-threatening way to do it!
