† VALENTINE BAKE SALE The LWML will be having a Valentine bake sale on Sunday, February 9, in the narthex after both services. Proceeds will help offset convention costs, among other things. Ladies, please plan to help us out and deliver your goods to the church early on the 9th or the day before. Lora Wacker and Brenda Kirn will be handling the display and collection of goodies.
† SOUPER BOWL SUNDAY The Super Bowl, or as we’ve been calling it “Souper” Bowl, is next Sunday. Through the month of January we have collected canned soup, dried beans and rice to help fill the shelves at Crosslines of Carthage. If you haven’t had a chance to get involved, bring your donations next Sunday and place them in the round container in the narthex or the shopping cart in the entry downstairs. Let’s finish strong and make our biggest donation yet!
