Logan County Hosts IF: Gathering on
February 56th
First United Methodist Church,
302 N Broadway, Lincoln
February 5th (2pm 10pm) and
February 6th (9am 5pm)
Local Gathering Taps into Livestream,
Builds Local Connections
In Lincoln, IL this weekend, local
leaders are hosting a livestream
gathering, and women from the area are
invited to join IF:Lincoln on February
56th , as part of an international
event, IF:Gathering.
Tens of thousands of women worldwide
will participate in the IF:Gathering on
February 56, 2016, via a livestream
from a live, sold out event in Austin,
Texas. With a variety of cultures and
denominations represented, these women
hold one thing in common: they want to
live like God is real. The IF:Gathering
provides space for women to wrestle with
essential questions of faith, to dream,
and to connect during a twoday
gathering. For more information about
the 2016 gathering visit
www.ifgathering.com/thegathering2016/.
An interdenominational event for women
of all ages.
Contact: IFLincolnIL@gmail.com or visit
on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/IFLincolnIL/
This IF:Local gathering is accepting
registration at the door or http://tinyurl.com/IFLincoln16
IF:Gathering exists to gather, equip and
unleash women to live out their calling.
The nonprofit was born out of a
Godgiven vision from Jennie Allen,
Founder & Visionary. She was joined by
Lindsey Nobles, Chief Operating Officer,
and together, they formed a team of
Christian female leaders that desire to
gather
this generation of women by creating a
pure, honest space to wrestle with the
essential question: IF God is real… THEN
what? In the first two years,
IF:Gathering has reached more than one
million women in fifty countries.
IF:Gathering provides a daily online
equipping tool, IF:Equip, to help women
to know God more deeply. By partnering
with organizations like International
Justice Mission, IF is coming alongside
women around the world, fostering
relationships, and utilizing women’s
Godgiven gifts to not only transform
hearts but also leave a tangible impact
on the entire world. More information
can be found at www.IFGathering.com.

KIDS WORSHIP—Treasure Island!
February 2016
Kids, come explore with us as we search
Treasure Island to DISCOVER some
incredible Bible lessons! Each week we
will dig deep into the Bible where we
will find ways that we can give to our
great God! Paul said in
1 Timothy 4:12, “Don’t let anyone
look down on you because you are young,
but set an example…” There are lots
of ways kids can be a great example and
one is by learning to give unselfishly.
We’ll be finding out how we can give our
talents, time, treasures, and lives to
God every day! Our key verse for the
month is, “Give as freely as you have
received!” Matthew 10:8
Moms and Dads, here’s where we’ll
journey on Treasure Island if you want
to talk about it with your kids at home!
• The Israelites Build the
Tabernacle—Exodus 35:10-36:7. We use our
talents for God.
• Nehemiah Gives His Time to Rebuild the
Wall—Nehemiah 2:1-6:16. We use our time
for God.
• Jesus Tells About the Widow’s
Offering—Mark 12:41-44. We give our
treasures to God.
• The Rich Young Ruler—Matthew 19:16-26.
We give our lives to God.

on to the garden of Gethsemane to
prepare to go to the cross. It is a very
special heart preparation service filled
with moving music and gripping video
images and this year will include a
traditional Jewish Seder meal for the
whole family. We will begin the music
for The Shadow of the Cross on Wed, Feb.
