COMING UP SUNDAY- FEBRUARY 23

This is the 7th Sunday after Pentecost.  Church school will meet.  After the service,  there will be a conversation during coffee hour to discuss funeral preparations.  This is often a difficult topic for family members to discuss.  During coffee hour we will have forms and resources available and we will talk about some of the things to consider when planning your own funeral.  Come join us!
On Monday, Feb. 24, we will take a field trip to RICAN.  This is the social service agency that accepts our weekly food donation.  They are located at the corner of routes 91 and 112 in Charlestown.  We will meet there at 1:30.  All are welcome to join us.

COMING UP SUNDAY- FEBRUARY 9

This is the 5th Sunday after Epiphany.  Church school will meet.  There will be a Bishop's Committee meeting after church this week.
Last Sunday we celebrated Boy Scout Sunday and Souper Bowl Sunday.  There were 55 people in church, including 17 cub scouts, boy scouts and leaders.  They shared in worship and enjoyed a bountiful feast at coffee  hour!  We collected $75 in our Souper Bowl collection pot which was sent to RICAN in Charlestown.
During Lent, we will be reading the book, Grace Sticks by Kristina Robb-Dover.  If you would like the church to order you a book, the cost is $10.  Sign up at church.  It is also available in a Kindle version.  We will meet after church on Mar. 23 and Apr. 6 to talk about it.
