LOVE LOCALLY - This year’s Hunger Lenten campaign begins February 26th, 2023. The WELL returns!

The two branch campaign will collect Sunday donations for Second Harvest FOOD Bank. Let the marbles roll!

On Wednesdays, the Lenten Supper donations will be collected to support the SNACKS FOR SCHOOLS campaign.

The bins to collect actual SNACKS (granola bars, fruit snacks, etc) will remain available in the gathering space as ongoing ministry.

The Lenten meals are back. The UFF-DA Crockpot Lenten meals are happening each Wednesday of March. The meal will start our evening out at 5:30 pm with some warm food and then lead us to a service at 6:15 pm, presented by the confirmation youth of the church. Can you help serve? Bring a crockpot of something warm like soup or hotdish or a donation of buttered bread? Sign up HERE to help with the meal! A free will donation will be taken each week at the dinner and all proceeds will go to the Snacks For Schools!

Sunday School Families!

Wednesday Lent Dinners in the Fellowship Hall. It's one less meal for you to think about (and there's always peanut butter and jelly if you have picky eaters like me!) Soup Suppers are every Wednesday in March starting at 5:30 pm.

Sunday, March 5th, I am so excited for Sunday morning - I hope you will be there! During Sunday School, parents can stick around or join a Small Group in the church library. Kids will be divided into two groups: taking turns learning the Bible Story and practicing yoga. During Worship, we will focus on Prayer. There will be special gifts/resources for all Kindergarteners and 2nd Graders, but I think all ages will like the Breathe Stickers we will be passing out, too.

I hope to see you all soon,

Thanks!
Katie

Hooray for Ushers!! We are getting our usher teams organized for this year. Ushering is a great way to welcome folks as they come on Sunday morning and help make the Sunday morning go smoothly. This is something all ages can do, and is a wonderful thing for a family to do together. We have enough teams that you would only need to serve about once every 2 months. SIGN UP HERE or talk to Debbie Sanders.
