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.
