FAT TUESDAY PANCAKE SUPPER

The annual Pancake Supper is next Tuesday, Feb. 21. Come and celebrate all things Mardi Gras. Bring a guest or two, wear a mask or costume, and let the good times roll! Pancakes will be made fresh while you wait, crafts for kids, and live music. Festivities begin at 6:00 in the gym. Cost is $7 for adults, $4 for children. If possible, please RSVP: 726-4681.


ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICE

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lenten journey, a time of reflection and preparation before Easter. We begin the journey with a worship service at 7:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary. Childcare will be available. We pray that our Lenten journey renews our faith and refreshes our lives.

NOTE: WELL dinner/programs will not be held on Feb. 22, but Primary/Junior Choir practice will be held at 5:00. If you need more information please call the church office, 726‑4681.


CLEAN WATER MISSION TO MEXICO

Our clean water mission team leaves for Mexico tomorrow! From Feb. 16-26, Pan and Carl Awsumb, Beth Espy and Robyn Gibboney will be installing a new water purifying system at a primary school, visiting previous installation sites, and working with volunteers and community leaders. Another team is headed to Ghana in April. May God’s blessings be with our mission coworkers and their vital work.
