MINISTRY CENTER
The Ministry Center is open for business - or, er, um, MINISTRY! We had the first Bible Study of the New Year in our facility this past Wednesday evening. We are hoping that our church chairs will be shipped this next week and we are currently on the lookout for coffee-house style furnishings. If anyone has any good furniture leads, let us know.

DAVE RAMSEY CLASS
We have over 25 registrations for Financial Peace University with many voicing interest in the church plant as well. Someone asked if Dave Ramsey would be teaching the class himself! Sadly, Dave won't be here this semester, but who knows what the future might hold.

PROMISE JACKSON!
Pastor Jay is researching TPC's not-for-profit mission project known as Promise Jackson! We hope to have papers filled out and turned in by the end of January at which point we will begin writing a grant for an arts education ministry for disadvantaged children. We hope to soon be able to expand this into a weekday literacy ministry at one of our local elementary schools.

BAND REHEARSALS
Praise and Worship Pastor, Dale Dodd, has begun holding band rehearsals on Thursday evenings at 6pm. Please contact Dale at dale@promisechurch.info if you are gifted musically and are willing to put in a couple of hours a week rehearsing our worship music.

THE JESUS PLAN FOR A PURPOSEFUL LIFE
We will meet this week at the Ministry Center. This week's theme is "The Jesus Plan for Healing." Scripture focus: Matthew 5:24-34

GETTING THE WORD OUT!
The "What's in a Promise" Teaser Billboard are out and about in the Jackson area. Let us know if you spot one!
We shoot our TV commercial on Tuesday.
Another Direct Mail piece will go out in two weeks to 8000 households advertising our January 30th West TN DOC event as well as the worship launch.

WEST AREA DOC WORSHIP AND FELLWOSHIP EVENT
Congressman John Tanner will be the featured speaker at our Sunday, January 30th Praise and Fellowship event at TPC at 5pm. He'll speak on "Being a person of faith in a political world." Worship will be led by the TPC Worship Team. We'll enjoy a potluck dinner following worship.
