LADIES’ NIGHT OUT DINNER Ladies and gents alike, mark your calendars! On Sunday, Feb. 19, you won’t want to miss this always fun and entertaining evening, when the guys serve the girls a delicious, sometimes even called, gourmet dinner. The evening begins at 5:00 when Terry S., aka Barney Fife, will show up to entertain us. Please use the sign up sheet in the narthex so we know how many to prepare for. Also, don’t forget to bring a dessert to share for the much anticipated dessert buffet.
DAYTIME MIDWEEK LENTEN SERVICE ADDED Lent starts Wednesday, Feb. 22, and this year we have added an additional midweek service during the daytime at 11:00 am. This will give those who do not drive at night, or who have evening obligations, an opportunity to attend the midweek services. Wednesday evening services will begin at 7:00 pm.
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.
