Sunday, February 19, 2012

Please join us this Sunday, February 19 as Pastor Dick Riley leads us in worship at both the 8:45 traditional and 11:15 contemporary service. His sermon text is Luke 12:13-21. The Hand Bell choir will perform All Night, All Day, at the 8:45 service. At the 11:15 service, The Praise Team will lead us in singing our praises to God. At Both services, we will celebrate Scout Sunday and new members will join.

JAMS(Jesus and Me Sundays) for children ages 3 years –through first grade is available during the 8:45 and 11:15 Services. Sunday School with classes for preschool through adults begin at 10:00 a.m. Nursery is available during all services.

We will celebrate Ash Wednesday, February 22 – with the Congregational Church at the Congregational Church at 6:30 p.m. Our Wednesday night dinner will include scalloped potatoes and ham. There will be no Christ’s Kid’s  or adult classes, but LGD and Tough Topics will meet and go to the Ash Wednesday Service.

Kid's Food Basket NEEDS YOUR HELP!!!! Again this year the Sunday School classes will be assembling Snack Sacks for Kid's Food Basket.  The need has risen from 3600 kids daily last year to over 4800 this year.  As you can see, they need our help more than ever!!  The Sunday School offering collections will go to purchase items for Kid's Food Basket, so feel free to have your child give generously or donate any of the following items:

* Individual Pudding or Fruit Cups                    * Cracker Pack or Sunflower Seeds

* Granola Bars                                                         * .28 oz Meat Stick (individually wrapped at Sams )

* Raisins (single serving size)                               * 100% Vitamin C Fruit Snacks

We look forward to your participation in one or all of these events.
