Happy Valentine's Day!

"Let all that you do, be done with love."  1 Corinthians 16:14

+++ Please keep Pastor Jack in prayer as he takes some time for rest and relaxation.

+++ We gather for worship on Sunday at 8:30am and 10:00am. This week we welcome Diane Sokolowski, CLM as our worship leader at both services. Please come and hear Diane's thoughts on "Having Faith." Be sure to introduce yourself too! We will, of course, be "live-streaming" at 10:00am on the church Facebook page and then "uploading" the worship to our YouTube channel when it is completed!  

+++ The March/April newsletter deadline is February 20.  Please have anything you would like included to the church office no later than Feb. 20.

+++ The March/April Upper Rooms are available now! Stop by the table outside the church office window and pick up a copy.

+++ Pastor Jack will be leading a Bible Study entitled "Savior, Servant, Friend" during Lent. The study will be on Mondays at 12 starting on March 3 and ending on April 7. Bring your lunch and soup will be provided. Please sign up outside of the Fireside Room. Books will be supplied at no cost.

+++ There are still copies of the 2024 Annual Report available on the table outside of the church office window. If you haven't gotten a copy yet, please take one.

+++ The church office will be closed on Monday, February 17 for President's day. 

In the spirit of Valentine's day, hear this prayer of St Thomas Aquinas:

"Give us, O Lord,
steadfast hearts, which no unworthy thought can drag downward,
unconquered hearts, which no tribulation can wear out,
upright hearts, which no unworthy purpose may tempt aside.
Bestow upon us also, O Lord our God,
understanding to know you, diligence to seek you, wisdom to find you, and a faithfulness that may finally embrace you; 
through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.

Blessings from the church office.
