Too busy to stay? Still hungry to help? Busy night? No problem.  The Reformed Rebuilders’ Brat Fry Fundraiser is Wed., Jan. 28, and take-out is welcome! But do please RSVP!

Every meal supports their February trip to Florida to help families rebuild after hurricanes—and donated food items (we still need a few things) help stretch every dollar further.

👉 Sign-up HERE online or stop by the Welcome Center. If you can’t join us for the meal, just note TAKE-OUT in the comments when you sign up.

You Heard It Here First

🙏 What happens when churches unite, students worship boldly, and prayers rise together? ✨ You get a night like HOGG Worship — and wow, did God show up! 🙌

To kick off 2026, students from Hingham, Oostburg, Cedar Grove & Gibbsville churches gathered as one to worship, pray, and love BIG.

A powerful moment of the night was praying over Hudson — the 1-year-old son of Jacob & Summer Wittneben — following his recent important surgery. We believe in a God who hears every prayer. 🙏

🍕 Shoutout to Pizza Ranch Oostburg for feeding the entire crew FREE of charge!

🏠 Huge thanks to FPO – Oostburg for hosting and opening their doors and hearts.

💸 And these students?! They raised over $700 to help with Hudson’s medical expenses. Faith in action, friends. 👏

God is moving. Students are leading. Hope is alive.

This is HOGG. 🐗🔥

LOCAL NEWS

Please pray for the Consistory as they meet tomorrow evening and continue their careful discernment around the RCA / denominational decision. As shared at last month’s congregational meeting, they are working toward bringing a proposal to the congregation in early March.

While the RCA decision is priority, the Consistory is also gathering information to provide deeper insights into the feedback you provided with respect to the Facilities project. So lots of information coming this Spring!

🩳NEWS BRIEFS

The return is here! The ALPHA study is starting back up next Sun., February 1st at 4 PM! Newcomers welcome!

To whoever suddenly thinks the sanctuary lighting got aggressively brighter—your sunglasses have been found. They’re resting in the church office, quietly wondering what they did wrong.

Thirty families were served at the community food pick-up this past Tuesday.  Would you pray for these families.

Thank you to the congregation for the many calls, cards, visits, and prayers during my cancer journey. Special thanks to Pastor Bob, Pastor Brian, and Judy TenPas for their care and support. Sincerely, Lamont Rauwerdink

Paging 10 more lovely ladies… Missions & Eernisse Circles, your study books are here and wondering if they’ve been forgotten. Pick yours up in the Office — $9 and worth every penny (no senior discount required 😇).

Last week’s offering was $23,098 and attendance was 367. The January special offering to date is $375.

Our Jan./Feb. special offering options are the Gathering Place and Living Hope Uganda (Pastor Elijah). This week we are spotlighting Living Hope Uganda.

As Uganda enters a tense election season, rising prices and closed markets are creating uncertainty for many families.

At Living Hope Orphanage, the first priority is the safety and care of 150 children. They’ve secured $1,500 through Living Hope Foundation, and are now seeking an additional $3,000 to sustain the orphanage for the next two months.

These funds will provide essential needs — food, hygiene supplies, medical care, utilities, staff support, and basic transportation — ensuring stability during an unpredictable time.

Your gift helps keep meals on the table, lights on, caregivers present, and children safe.  Thank you for past and hopefully, future support of Living Hope and surrounding these children with care when it matters most.
