LENTEN FOOD PROJECT

During the six weeks of Lent we are collecting food items for the Food Bank like we did last year. We are calling that time period, “Let’s Make a Meal.”

Each week we ask you to bring at least one of the specific items designated for that week. And we ask that you bring it with you into the sanctuary. The Sunday School children will collect those items during announcement time. The food items will then be displayed in the sanctuary for all of the Sundays of Lent.

February 21…………Canned fruit
February 28…………Canned soup
March 7………....Canned vegetables
March 14…………Canned meat, fish, stew
March 21…………Biscuit/Muffin mix
March 28………….Dessert mix

LENTEN SUNDAY SERIES

During the Sundays of Lent, Pastor Carl is preaching on “Character Traits of Christian Believers.” Those traits for the Sundays of March are:
March 7……Patience
March 14…..Prodigality
March 21…..Sacrificial Love

WEDNESDAYS IN LENT

Come and gather with your church family around the table for a delicious bowl of soup and a sandwich provided by Ethel’s Edibles at 6:00pm. A free-will offering is received to cover the expense.

Worship follows at 6:45pm and Pastor Carl is preaching on, “Where is God In Suffering?”

“SOUPER BOWL OF CARING”

Due to bad weather and the cancellation of church on Sunday, February 7th we were unable to receive a special offering that day for our ELCA World Hunger Project.

However, we did receive donations on Sunday, February 14th. The amount received was $88.65 which has been forwarded on to the ELCA.

Thank you for your donations.
