Dear Church Family,
We will not have prayer tonight. Please stay warm and pray from home. We have just witnessed a woman receive Christ here in our home. Please pray for her. Her name is Karla. Please also celebrate with the angels over this lost sheep that has been found.

Tips to Prevent Frozen Pipes
Take a look at the first photo attached to this message folks. You most likely have one of these stuck on the outside of your house somewhere. It is a shutoff valve and backflow preventer for lawn sprinklers. Even if the valve is currently shutoff to your sprinklers, the part of these pipes BEFORE the valve is still full of water and can freeze tonight. Since you will not be able to go buy anything from the store today to protect it, find an old blanket or a couple of bath towels and wrap the pipes as best you can, in as many layers as you can. Then finish it with a kitchen garbage bag (as seen in the second photo) to keep the whole thing dry, secured with string or wire of some sort. This should protect those exposed pipes just fine for you.
Another trick that I learned as a kid in Colorado was on really cold nights, just before going to bed, we would open EVERY faucet in the house slightly until they are barely dripping water. Open BOTH the hot and cold sides of the faucet as well, because oddly enough hot water pipes typically freeze inside walls long before cold pipes do. By allowing the faucets to slightly drip this keeps the water slowly moving in those pipes inside your walls, and is often enough to prevent any freeze damage. If you do this, don't forget any laundry sinks you may have in your garage. In my opinion, it is well worth wasting a few gallons of water overnight in order to prevent an expensive plumbing repair. During the day they can all be closed again, because normal faucet use in an occupied house will usually suffice to keep the water moving in your pipes.
I hope this information helps someone out. Good luck to all! Stay safe and warm, and enjoy this beautiful treat while it lasts.
Blessings,
Tom Ruth

Dear Church Family,
- Tuesday Evening Prayer: Dustin will be taking over the leadership of Tuesday Evening Prayer meetings. Please consider attending. These evening prayer meetings are important and effective. Patrick or Gene lead on Monday. Mitch leads on Thursdays. Randy leads on Fridays. They are each held in the Sofa Room at the end of the hall from 6:00 to 7:00 PM. If you are unable to attend one of the evening meetings, please pray God will send someone to man the wall in your place and help keep Vista Hills Church a house of prayer.
- Pro-life Ministry Building: We are beginning the work this week on finishing the break room with cabinets, countertops, and a sink. We are also beginning the acid wash, stain, and sealing of the concrete floor. Keep it all in prayer and stand by for regular updates on the progress.
- Workday: March 6th from 8:30 until noonish
- breakfast and fellowship at 8:30
- installing vents in the four bathrooms of the two-story building
- replacing water-stained ceiling tiles
- installing white-board in the science classroom
- light gardening around the grounds
- New Life Christian Academy: Our school has grown from 24 students to 29 students since you started praying. Please take a moment to give God thanks. Also please remember we can easily have a student population of 45 with our current infrastructure. Please continue to ask the Father to entrust us with more kids.
- From Grae on the subject of the annual retreat: I don't know about you but I think we all might be looking forward to getting away for our annual Retreat. As of right now, the date for this Retreat is June 4-6 at Sacramento Camp in the Sacramento Mountains in New Mexico. I think one of the things we've had to learn through this past year is to be flexible! So, for right now this is the plan and I wanted you to be able to "pencil" into your calendars for this weekend get-away. I'll keep you posted...
