CHURCH NEWS February 11, 2007

The Centennial Committee would like to hear about our ideas for celebrating our Centennial Year. They’ve placed a suggestion box on the table by the office.

This is the last chance to sign up for the Valentine Banquet, Feb. 16th at 6 p.m. (Friday) here at the church.  The Ingram’s will be providing a delicious chicken dinner (Chicken Marinara, Rice Pilaf, Steamed Mixed Veggies, Homemade rolls, Salad Bar and Dessert) on a donation basis ($10 is suggested) as a fundraiser to help Josiah go on a mission trip to New York City.  This is not just for couples.  Our theme is LOVING GOD AND LOVING GOD’S FAMILY.  Sign-up on the Friendship Register.

Carol & Vicky O’Dell are planning a fun day of scrap booking/ stamping on February 24th from noon to 10:00 pm.  Come and bring your scrap booking/stamping supplies plus a snack to share.  You can come and fellowship while you’re scrap booking/stamping for one hour or the entire time.  If you would like to come, call Vicky at 826-5262 or just show up.  You can even invite your friends to come and have a scrapping/stamping good time.

Families for kids!  Foster children need your help!  These kids need a safe place to stay until a permanent plan can be established or they return home.  If you ever thought about helping a child in foster care, there are brochures on the table next to the office with more information that can help you get started.
This can be an important Christian Ministry.

ASH WEDNESDAY – Is Feb. 21st, a week from this Wed. – marking the beginning of Lent.  We will have a quiet, reflective service at the church, 7 p.m.  There will be no Biblical Application Study groups that week to enable everyone to attend.  This week we still have our groups.
