On Sunday, February 5th we will be holding a Staff Appreciation Pot Luck Luncheon immediately following church. We will be celebrating the work of our office administrator, Alison Andersson, who has served us faithfully for 30 years; Alex Montanez, our security monitor, who has served us for 8 years; John Beaton, our custodian who has served us for 7 years; and Brendan Kenney, our music director who has served us for 3 years. Please come and show your appreciation for their dedication and good work over the years. Please bring a casserole, salad, or crock pot meal to share. Cake and beverages will be provided.
With the elimination of all non-ministerial positions we are becoming a volunteer
organization. Please, please, come to Dale Hall following our service on January
29 to see where your talents might meet the needs of the church. Many hands
will be needed to care for our building and administrative tasks. Jobs will
be outlined, ready and waiting for servants in the service of God to say, "yes,
I will help!"
And while you are signing up for jobs there will be an opportunity to make Valentines for our Service Men and Women, and our shut ins. Please come with your creativity so that God's love might be known!
Go Pats! And while we are in the spirit of hopefulness our children are inviting everyone to bring a can of soup to church to restock our food pantry. Super Bowl will also be a Souper Bowl of Caring. Patriot's jerseys are perfectly appropriate church attire on Feb 5th!
Wednesday, February 22 is the beginning of Lent, a time of spiritual preparation. We will have Ash Wednesday services at 7:30 am and 7:00 pm in the Chapel. Our Lenten lunches begin as well, followed by an Ash Wednesday Service in the sanctuary at 12:30 PM led by Rev. Peggy Howell of St. Anne's Episcopal Church. Lenten Lunches will be held each Wednesday at 11:45 am from February 22 through March 28. Our church will not be serving a lunch this year, allowing other churches the opportunity to serve. Please join us!
