CHURCH NEWS:

OCC UPDATE: This month, watch for Valentine and St. Patrick’s Day clearances. We need gloves (all sizes), and card games such as UNO, Old Maid, Go Fish, etc. Travel size of these games is wonderful, if available. We’re thrilled with the cotton shirts we’ve gotten, but still need more Please no knits or sweatshirts. Thank You!!

Reminder: Monday morning Bible Study: God is always more interested in us than we are interested in Him. He is more interested in our future than we are! See how this plays out in the life of a runaway slave as we study Genesis 16:7-16 – Monday morning at 10:00 in the Fellowship Room. Everyone is welcome. You bring the coffee, we’ll bring the cookies.

The Flowers in Church today are in memory of Neil Voss, given by his family.

Reminder: This evening join us at 5:00 pm for a Special Prayer Day Service for Crops and Industry. Invite your neighbors to join in this special service.

Consistory will meet this Monday, March 9th. If you are interested in joining church or requesting baptism, please talk to one of the Elders prior to their meeting.
