70 & OVER DINNER Today at 5:00 pm, all members (and their spouses) that are 70 years of age and over are invited to attend the annual dinner prepared and served especially for them by the Youth Group. Not only will you be waited on and served a wonderful meal, you will be entertained, too. Do you need a ride or the meal delivered to your home? That can be provided ~ just relay that to any member of the Youth Group or Shelley W. This special event is always a lot of fun for both the younger members and the older members. We hope to see you tonight.

SOUPER BOWL SUNDAY We are having a drive to add lots of cans of soup to the pantry at Crosslines. Bring your donations the next couple of weeks and place in the large round container in the narthex or in the shopping cart in the entryway of the Fellowship Hall. Nan says her goal is to have 300 cans by Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 5. We CAN do it!!!

FLOWER CHART There are lots of empty spaces on the flower chart, so if you would like to place flowers at the altar for a special occasion or in memory of someone, please sign the chart hanging on the wall next to the water fountain in the hallway. Simply write your name, phone number, and occasion with the pen provided.

CD’S AND TAPES OF THE SERVICE Audio tapes and CD’s of the service are available after the 8:15 am service each Sunday. They are located in the glassed-door cabinet in the narthex.

ASSISTIVE LISTENING If you are having a hard time hearing the service, assistive listening devices are available from the ushers. They work like a transistor radio and you can control the volume.

BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKS are available in the narthex after each service. You will be given a small form that can be carried in your wallet which will include medical information and a log of your blood pressure readings.
